March 4 - Killer Whale

HelllllllloooooooooooooOoooOOoooo!

This killer whale is a headband design that Pieter van Engen shared with us in Balloon Magic #82.  The whale is very quickly done, it takes longest making the cool 8 petal flower fountain flair.  You can see how it can be used for other things (a spout of fire?) in the purple pig version.

Now that I look at the images, this could probably use some eyeballs, or at least some artwork.  Oh whale ...

The evolved form of the porka whale can shoot fire from its spout

    1. Purple Pig, tuning it up with custom colors and flames. It's like he has a balloon body shop.

  2. Love the water spout! And so clever making a purple whale and calling it a porka. Where did you get that wonderful sense of humor? Could it be genetic?

    1. I think it must - it was Lucas who helped me come up with that on the way to school. :)
