Would any kind artist person have any ideas?
Not an artist, but a quick google image search on "doomwhale" turns up some fanart of a highly improbable (imho) interpretation.
As for me, I tend to think of Doomwhales as outsized mosasaurs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosasaur or possibly a sperm-whale sized Orca.
Think of the doomwhale as an outsized mammalian megalodon: in other words, a great white shark about 20% longer than a blue whale (about 25 meters [or 80 feet or so, for a Safeholdian]), with an extra set of pectoral fins.
There's a reason these things have occasionally sunk galleys or small galleons.
