For the past WAYLES, I tried to based my design on the real whales, but for Beluga I just decided to design a mech and make it white. Color combination was the most time consuming so it took a while to composite, but not much photobashing or painting.
The lighting was an accident, the original lighting was a default global lighting, but I played around with all the different light passes in photoshop, and this is the result of a good "accident".
Height info will be updated. Going to make it 7ft tall.
