Hello ya"ll. I need some good references for a killer whale. Any help would be much appreciated. For a modeling project.

Try a google image search, over 13000 images for the search term orca!

Ya I know. I have been looking at Orca pics for two days. The ones I have found are of Orcas breaching and not very close up. I havent seen any good ones for modeling. Thanks BazC. What I need is more like a side, top, front, back type of image. It may be to much to ask for. I may have to try to draw one.

Try the EYEWITNESS childrens books. You can find them at your local bookstore. Just pick up the one for Whales. You can't beat their photos.

Thanks T I will give it a look. I find a lot of my modeling ideas from children books. I should have thought of that.

ANytime. Worse comes to worse, I probably have a how to draw book around here somewhere with an orca in it. It would take some finding though. Good luck.

"Reinstall Windows" is NOT a troubleshooting step.

You may already know this, but I find it very useful to used the Advanced Search options when doing a Google image search to eliminate 90% of the more useless pics. I start with Wallpaper Size, then if nothing good pops up go down to Very Large. This usually results an many fewer hits, but the hits are usually the better pics to use as references. Using Related to the Exact Phrase - killer whale, I found many nice reference pics; head on, profile, underwater, in full breach, schematics, etc. And since they are the bigger pics you can see more of the details you probably are wanting. Hope that helps narrow the search a little. jon
