Give the tail room to turn

Whale pixel art questions
Why does my whale look like a fish?
Keep the broad body and horizontal tail-fluke construction visible. A very narrow body with a small triangular tail may read as a generic fish.
How much of a water spout should I include?
Use a small connected shape with space around it. Preserve the whale body and face first; the spout should explain the scene rather than take most of the canvas.
Should every whale use the same head shape?
No. The licensed studies include rounded cartoon heads and longer natural profiles. Keep the chosen source construction consistent instead of forcing all of them into one oval.
Try your own whale design
Narrow the body slightly before it widens into the tail flukes. Start with that shape in the pixel art maker.
