Hi Guys.
Almost done- still a little work on the first fret as the water scene spills over into it- but that needed some more touch up. It still works.
Thanks for looking!
I know it's a little much, but there needed to be a backdrop to put the black of the whale against .

Beautiful, Craig!! Those wispy clouds and the water in front of the whale are amazing. Another great job!

Up next is a Rickenbacker bass great white sharks + schooling jacks and reef scene neck, then a gamefish theme neck. Then I'm open- no wait!

The pearl ones are black pearl reversed to the white side, the wispy ones are a technique I learned form Linda Manzer a few years back. I'll tell you what she first told me when I asked her about it on an inlay she did..

I'm guessing it is all in the punctuation.
