A colorful stingray portrait inspired by Ubuntu release name 26.10, created with Krita, Blender and 1% Gimp - GNU Image Manipulation Program. There are at least 220 species of stingrays. The cownose ray caught most of my attention, probably because it looks so cute. Stonking, a British slang adjective, describes something massive or heavy, something extremely good (no pressure!) or impressive. The stingray spends most of the time on the ground of the ocean. It camouflages by burying itself in the sand. Therefore I was drawn to the moment it casts a shadow on the ocean floor. The shadow developed into an oasis in the desert surrounded by sand dunes and puffy clouds. It also resembles the nights sky on its belly. This tiny oasis (at least in comparison to the giant stonking stingray floating above) is celebrating the annual stingray festival. You can see lots of tents in different sizes, sand buildings, flora (palm trees & shrubs), stingray kites, fire places, boats, jetties. You can also get a glimpse of the inhabitants celebrating with their friends, families, visitors and pets. This stingray is also giving everybody a cooling break from the extreme heat in the desert. A special moment captured for eternity. Happy Stonking Stingray Day! :) It took a month to finish this artwork. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Stonking-Stingray-1389931075
