I have named him after the famous author Michael Morpurgo who wrote the book im basing my form off.





Male.
Yes he is male, and he is proud to be the radical dude he is.





A seagull named Gracie.
Named after the main character from the book.
His faithful companion and best friend, she follows him everywhere, they both love to sit on the shore at sunset and eat raspberry ripple ice cream.




New Radicals - You Get What You Give.
This song has nothing to do with the book this is based off, but i absolutely love this song, it has a beach sorta tone to it and i can imagine Morpurgo surfing to this music and just chilling on the beach, i also like to think this song kinda shows his personality, as a chilled, laid back dude.




By me.
This took about 3-4 hours, for i am not great at painting, this is probably about only the second time i have made a full piece painting.
By Me.
This was my first time doing an ocean scene, so its not great, this also took me about 2 and a half hours, it is the last scene from the story i made below.




By Michael Morpurgo


Why the Whales Came is a children's story written by Michael Morpurgo and first published by William Heinemann in 1985. It is set on the island of Bryher, one of the Isles of Scilly, off the coast of Cornwall, in the year 1914. I have based my form around this particular book because it is a beautiful story about narwhal whales and it was the first thing that came to my head when i saw this beauty as we read this at school a long time ago, to get myself more familiar i have read the book again to help me...

A brief summary of the book..


The Scilly Isles.

His Story...

Morpurgo was a Cornish bean that lived on Samson Island, one of the isles of Scilly off the coast of Cornwall, England. He was a sailor bean, captain of a small sail boat called the Shaggy, his job was to catch fish for the residents of the island, day in and out is all he would do. Morpurgo wanted more; he was a bean of great expectations and desires. He had no way of following his dreams; he couldn’t sail out as his boat would not be strong enough to sail through the ocean, therefore he continued to live his dull life...
He had heard stories of how the island was cursed and other stories of how the curse was lifted, but the one story he had heard most, was the story of why the whales came, how two children valiantly saved them from the threat they endured near the island, but I shant spoil it for you, that is a story for another time...
This was the story that encouraged Morpurgo to chase what he longed for, and what was this dream you may ask?; to travel the globe. A simple dream yes, but his dream none the less. Morpurgo was an adventurous bean; his favorite thing to do in his free time is to surf, though it is rare that waves big enough to surf on will appear on the isles of Scilly, his father taught him how to surf and taught him all the tricks he knows, every summer he would get his board (a tacky custom piece of plastic since no one on the island sold surf boards) and go ride the big waves, his only problem is that he had no one to surf with since no one really cared for surfing, he was alone...
On a cool evening in spring, Morpurgo had come home from one of his fishing trips, when he found something peculiar washed up on shore, something alive, he got out of his boat and sprinted over to the unusual beast he found. The creature had a long tusk, much like the horn of a mythical creature he had had once read about, oh what was its name? ...ah yes... a unicorn... but surely not, they don’t exist, do they? On closer inspection he found that it had fins, a tail and a blowhole, it must be either a dolphin or a whale, due to the largeness and roundness of the creature, and he came to the conclusion that it must be some breed of whale. But what whale has a horn for a nose?
“That, my friend, is a narwhal” said a close voice from the sky, a seagull in fact, she landed in front of the beast and curtsied “My name is Gracie, seagull by day, animal expert by... well whenever need I s’pose”. She pondered for a second and continued “this poor creature came in too close it seems, her pod is all the way over there” she proceeded and pointed way out in the ocean where around 7-10 horns could be seen sticking out of the water surface.
“Why is she here?” Morpurgo asked looking to the whales and back to the helpless beast.
“ Don’t you know, they come here every 100 years, goodness knows why, don’t speak, don’t know” she shrugged “they came all the way from the Caribbean, they know they’re way round, that’s for sure, but goodness know what they were doing there” she pondered again “anyway, help me get her into the ocean again” she started to push, the whale did not move a muscle, so Morpurgo helped her, they heaved until finally she was back where she belonged. Morpurgo smiled, he then suddenly realized what the Seagull had said.
“Wait, you said they come from the Caribbean, you mean the place where the sun shines bright and the waves are high? And they know how to get there? This is perfect! Maybe they could take me there...” he exclaimed.
“ well yes...yes I s’pose they could... sure, I’ll lead the way, I see you have the tail and fins to swim, just keep up the whales and we will get there soon” she took to the sky and flew off into the sunset, the whale started to turn and followed the seagull.
Morpurgo smiled, but then he remembered the island, he took a small letter out of his pouch and attached it to his ship, a ready made note for the others, if they should find it. He watched the narwhals and the sunset, took one look back at the dark gloomy island, smiled, and dived into the ocean and swam for the horizon to pursue his dreams...

Don’t give up; you have a reason to live...
Don’t forget; we only get what we give...

The Scilly Isles

Adding on to his story i would just like to speak my thoughts, i had chosen to make him a cornish bean because for some odd reason, he reminded me of the times when me and my family would go to the beautiful coasts of Cornwall, my dad and i loved being there and have always dreamt of living there, Cornwall is a lovely place with rolling feilds, amazing coastlines and wonderful imagery everywhere you turn, he also reminds me of the book which i based the form off as the book is about narwhals near the isles of Scilly which is coincidentally off the coast of Cornwall, therefore i thought it a good, and yet differant, idea to make him a Cornish bean since he reminded me so much of my childhood when we went there every year, this bean means a lot to me, even if i dont win, he will still continue to remind me of my childhood, and i will be happy to look at him time and time again, thank you for taking the time to read my form, sorry if the last part sounded bad, i just wanted to share my thoughts with everyone about what i think when i see this bean, and once again thanks ^^

Don't forget to read the letter in the story ^^

My username is Jirachi.
I am also an active member on the JBD FC where my username is Jirachi as well.

"Your name is Jirachi?"
"Yea so..."
"Then why do I call you mom?"
"Because I'm your mom."
"Okay Jirachi."
"-_-"

Yes, I chose the name Eric. I look at this amazing bean and of course I think of the ocean, but I also see a bean, a bean who who's personality is as strong and brave as the one whom he's named after. The name Eric comes from my favorite movie as a child, The Little Mermaid. When I was little I must have watched this movie at least a hundred times, always enjoying it just as much every time. This bean means a lot to me so I needed to find that perfect name that means just as much to me as he does, and I finally did when I thought of Prince Eric.

"So I'm named after a Disney character?"
"That's correct."
"Do I have a last name?"
"Um, I guess so."
"What is it!?"
"....I have no clue."

Eric is male of course.
Personally, I can't see this bean being anything but male.

"You've got to be kidding me!"
"What, why?"
"They thought I was a girl!"
"Calm down Eric, they didn't think you were a girl."
"Okay...but I'm not girl."

Eric has a pet sugar glider named Honeysuckle.
While relaxing under his favorite tree in front of the library one day, Eric heard a small chittering noise. After searching around the tree Eric looked into the small hole in the side of the tree that when he was young he used to leave his favorite things in to keep them safe. Eric couldn't believe what he saw, a small furry creature about the size of his paw, looking up at him with big dark eyes. After that day Eric brought the creature (which he later learned was a sugarglider) treats. One day when Eric was feeding the sugarglider it crawled up his arm, jumped into his pouch, and curled up to go to sleep. From then on Eric and Honeysuckle were best friends.

"Come say hi Honeysuckle."
"Eric you do know she can't talk right."
"How do you know?"
"Because she's a sugarglider."
"So, I'm a dragon and I can talk."
"But, you just, *sigh* touche Eric"

Take To The Sky by Owl City
You're probably wondering why I would choose a song like this, a song about the sky and flying, well I'll tell you. I spent hours trying to figure out the perfect song to represent Eric. I was starting to get frustrated when I tried scrolling through my music and found this song. After listening to this song I reliezed that although it doesn't seem like, this song is perfect. This song is about a journey to freedom and chasing what you believe in, including the rough times you may have on the way to your goal. This song ties very well to my story of Eric, how he has things to overcome but when he does his life changes dramatically for the better.

"Man, I wish I could fly."
"So do I Eric, so do I."
"Hey can I get flying lessons?"
"You do know that flying lessons are for pilots right?"
"...Yea, of course I did..."

This is a story of a bean named Eric, and how his life changed when he faced the problems that stopped him from becoming a better bean.

Part 1

He looked at the dragons in front him, all ready to risk their lives for him and his kingdom, and he vowed to himself that he would do everything he could, no matter how difficult, to protect them. The king stood, raised his staff, and called out, "Tomorrow, we risk our lives to protect the ones we love! Tomorrow, our fate will be decided! Tomorrow, we face the enemy!" As he sat, the king heard horns blaring, dragons cheering, and the rush of blood in his ears, caused not only by what he just said, but also the fact that he knew--- Eric grudgingly shut the book and looked up at whoever had just interrupted him. Eric's best friend Louis was staring down at him grinning, suddenly he felt extremely nervous, after being friends with Louis for as long as he had, Eric knew that when he grinned something was going to happen, most likely something that would get them both in trouble, even if Eric himself had nothing to do with it. Before he could do so much as blink, Louis had him by the arm and was dragging him away from his favorite reading spot under the huge maple tree in front of the library. Sighing, Eric asked "so if you don't mind, could you tell me why you interrupted me?! I was just getting to a good part." Louis released his hold on Eric's arm and turned to look at him, "dude, you always have your nose stuck in some dusty old book. You should be out actually doing something." Eric was about to tell him that there was nothing wrong with "dusty old books" as Louis had said, but before he could, his best friend yanked him down behind a bush and whispered "hey watch this, it's going to be epic!" Confused, Eric turned his head to where Louis was pointing and saw him, Jake was the typical jerk, he insulted others, laughed at everyone and everything, and had been picking on Eric for eleven years, since they were both in pre-school. Eric was about to ask Louis what was going on when he heard Jake swear viciously. Eric looked up to see a very angry Jake, covered from horns to tail in maple syrup. He moaned, Eric knew what everyone would think, they would think that he had set this whole thing up. Why would everyone think he had done it? Because to anyone but Louis, he was the maple tree dragon, the bean who just sat under the library's maple tree and read. Louis turned to him about to say something when he saw Eric's face and asked "Uh, E, you okay? You look a little...green." Eric was about to answer when he heard "Hey maple boy! I know you did this, so come out where I can pummel you!" Eric surveyed the scene before him before coming to a decision, he was going to wait behind the bush until Jake got bored of threatening him and left. Unfortunately Jake didn't get bored and leave, he stalked around the library's courtyard looking for him. Eric was crouched behind the bush when a flash of pink caught his eye. Eric had never seen a bean so beautiful, she had fur that looked softer then silk and eyes that sparkled like sapphires. Eric stood up, completely forgetting about Jake, and started walking towards her, when someone grabbed the scruff of his neck and yanked him back, a small choking sound escaped Eric's throat before he saw who was attacking him. Jake stood in front of him sneering, Eric scolded himself, he had totally forgotten about him when he'd seen the pink bean girl. He started to walk away while muttering "I had nothing to do with this." Jake snorted and said "sure you didn't pip-squeak, doesn't mean I can't pound you though." Eric braced himself as his attacker balled his fists, when a laugh rang through the courtyard bright and sharp as church bells. Jake swung around and saw her, the new girl, the pink bean, Eric's new found crush.

Part 2

Eric stood in horrified silence as Jake jogged towards the new girl. She was standing with a few other girl beans with names Eric could never remember, when Jake went up to her. The other girls went silent as soon as they saw Jake, but the new girl just continued to talk quietly, unaware that Jake was right behind her. She was still talking when Jake grabbed her shoulder and spun her around. The new girl gasped as she was spun around, and for a moment she just looked at Jake. Eric's heart dropped, there goes his chances with her. No matter what Eric did he couldn't match Jake's confidence, and cockiness, when it came to girls. While Jake just strolled right up to any girl and could have her giggling within seconds, Eric could barely even speak to a girl without getting tongue tied. The new girl stepped away from Jake and looked him up and down. Without breaking a sweat Jake said "I see you like me, it's right there in your eyes." To everyone's shock the new girl laughed at him, not giggled stupidly at his comment like all the other girls had, but actually laughed in his face. She looked him in the eyes and said "You must be Jake. I've heard about you, and I know about guys like you. You're cocky, arrogant, and think that every girl on the planet worships you." Jake grinned before she continued. "However, unlike most other girls, I do not worship the ground you walk on. I think you're a stupid, self-obsessed, jerk, who needs to be put in his place. And it seems that I am going to have to be the one to do so." Eric's jaw dropped, he couldn't believe what he just heard, no one had ever said anything like that to Jake. Jake stood there with a confused look on his face when he suddenly started laughing. Everyone besides Eric and the new girl started to chuckle nervously, all afraid of what Jake might do if they didn't agree with him. Jake looked down at the new girl, smiled, and said "Well then, you have quite a mouth don't you. Good, I like that." With a smile and a wink Jake sauntered off, still laughing quietly. Realizing that he had narrowly avoided yet another beating from Jake, Eric walked off and plunked back down under his favorite tree. He had just picked up his book again when he heard someone sit down beside him with a huff. Thinking it was Louis, Eric started talking "Can you believe she said that? I mean, we've all thought it, but she actually had the guts to say to his face." Eric smiled before continuing "She stood up to Jake and she gorgeous, she's the most amazing girl I've ever seen." Eric looked up, expecting to see Louis grinning stupidly, but to Eric shock and horror it wasn't Louis sitting next to him, it was her, Eric's new found crush.

Part 3

Eric just sat in stunned silence for a moment before it really sank in what had just happened. Eric tried to apologize but all that came out was "I, um, it's just that...." Eric groaned and banged his head back against the tree. Feeling the jolt Honeysuckle crawled out of Eric's pouch, climbed up to his shoulder, and chattered excitedly in his ear before leaping of his shoulder and landing right in the pink bean's opened palms. Eric sat up, Honeysuckle never came out when there were strangers around, much less jumped happily into their hands. Eric looked at the new girl, she was feeding Honeysuckle sunflower seeds with an awestruck look on her face. Suddenly the new girl asked "So, did you really pull that prank?" Without thinking Eric replied "Of course not, I would never have the guts to do anything like that. My best friend Louis set the whole thing up, I just got blamed for it." The new girl offered him her paw saying "Well that's not fair. Anyway, I'm Elizabeth." Eric hesitantly took her paw and shook it, answering her "Eh it's alright, he really is a good guy once you get to know him. Oh and I'm Eric, and uh, this is Honeysuckle." Hearing her name Honeysuckle jumped up and hopped over to Eric, resting her head on the tip of his tail. "It's nice to meet you Eric, and you too Honeysuckle." Eric started to stutter again "Sh-She r-r-really likes y-you." He couldn't believe it, he hardly ever stuttered any more, Eric tried to say something else but Elizabeth stopped him by holding up a dainty paw, "you really need to relax, it's not like i'm going to bite you or anything." She laughed, and to Eric's surprise he began to laugh with her. After a moment she asked him "So what book are you reading?" and pointed to the old blue book in Eric's lap. Eric handed her the book not expecting her to recognize it, but as soon as it was in her paws she was talking excitedly "I can't believe it! This is one of my favorites!" Eric began to talk to her about the book and the two talked until it began to get dark. Elizabeth noticed the darkening sky "Oh my, It's so late! Now I'm going to have to walk home in the dark." She said with a worried expression. Eric saw the concern in her face and said immediately "I'll walk you home." Without another word he stood up and held out his paw to her. It turned out that Elizabeth only lived a few blocks away from Eric and they walked most of the way together. When they got to Elizabeth's home they both stopped, she looked at him and said "thank you so much for walking me home, I really hate the dark." Eric stood up a little taller and said "Then I'll always walk you home so I can protect you." As soon as the words left his mouth Eric felt like an idiot, why on earth would he say something like that? Before he could continue scolding himself Elizabeth suddenly walked towards him and gave him a quick peck on the cheek and went inside, leaving a stunned Eric to walk home. When Eric got home he couldn't stop himself from thinking about her, the amazing Elizabeth, his new found crush.

Part 4

Eric stood under the library's huge maple tree waiting for Elizabeth, she said she would meet him here at noon. Smiling, Eric sat down to wait when he heard an indignant shout form across the courtyard. Eric turned and saw Jake with his arm wrapped around Elizabeth's waist, Eric looked at Elizabeth, her cheeks were red and she looked furious. "I said let me go!" Elizabeth shouted at Jake. Eric stormed over to the two and without thinking grabbed the arm wrapped around Elizabeth's waist and shoved it off. Then he offered his hand to Elizabeth who took it and sighed, saying "Some guys really don't understand no. Thanks for that Eric." They were walking away from a stunned Jake when he suddenly grabbed Elizabeth's arm and pulled her away from Eric. Looking at Eric and ignoring Elizabeth's struggling Jake said "If you know what's good for you you'll walk away and never talk to either of us again." That was the final straw for Eric, he wasn't going to let Jake treat Elizabeth like that, even if it meant getting the beating of a life time. Eric walked up to Jake and in a low voice said "Let her go, now." Jake snickered and said "Or what maple boy? You'll cover me in syrup again?" Without missing a beat Eric straightened his back and looked Jake in the eye, realizing with a start that he was at least two inches taller then Jake. For the first time since pre-school Jake was the one who looked afraid, and for the first time in his life Eric was standing up for something, someone, that he cared about. Jake laughed nervously and tried to walk away, still holding on to Elizabeth's arm, but Eric stepped closer and told Eric one more time "Let her go." Those three simple words had a shocked and frightened Jake running, away from Eric and away from Elizabeth, he never so much as looked at either of them again. Eric looked at Elizabeth who was smiling up at him, and he knew that he was hers and she was his.

THE END

Besides Eric, the beans in this story are fictional and resemblance to any other beans is completely coincidental.

"I wish Elizabeth was real."
"Don't worry Eric, you'll find someone someday."
"I hope it's someday soon."

When I saw this spectacular bean I knew I had to do something special for him, so I made a life-size mural. It took me about five days to finish this. I had already finished about a quarter of it on my drive way when it rained and I had to start over. I re-did it in my garage so it wouldn't get messed up, and after a lot of hard work I finished this morning. I put my bicycle behind it for a size reference, from head to rump it's 7ft 4in and the tail is 7ft long.


A little gif of Honeysuckle and Eric fast asleep, it's first gif I've ever made and I think it came out pretty well.

"Do I really sleep like that?"
"Like what"
"With a bubble coming out of my nose."
"Sometimes."
"That's...awesome!"

Wow Kiley, I just have to say that this bean is just...wow. Thank you so much for the chance to get this perfect bean. You know if I won this gorgeous boy you would see him so often that you would get sick of him. XD

"How could she get sick of me, she loves me!"
"Calm down it's just a figure of speech."
"Oh, that makes more sense."
