This?

Hahahah. A bit cartoony and overexaggerated, but yes. Thanks, Waltz.

The flukes on the tail are incorrectly placed on that gif, though. They should be horizontal, rather than vertical. Sharks and fish have vertical tails. Whales don't. (With the exception of one or two, if I remember correctly.)

That's what I was trying to say, good idea of an example though. But as Draenin said, it's a bit exaggerated lol but at least it gets the idea across.

Yes, exactly.

It should just be a shadow when it's under water - then if it jumps it should be the full colored whale. It should be literally GIANT so that it's more exciting to hunt down.

This thread inspired me to read "Moby Dlck" again.

Captains long ago (Especially in the early days of New England.) went about their sailing somewhat with fear of whales. (Unless they had the proper equipment.) The sizing of the whale may be big, but it works out just fine.
