Because ive been writing (that includes dnd prep) instead of drawing lately, made a point of doing a doodle on my break. Took me 5 mins just to decide to draw some Chum

Reference sheet illustration of my three sharkfolk characters: Aria Almarina, Tiago Tigrado, and Roberto Martiello. Aria is a short zebra shark with yellow skin covered in purple spots. She wears blue dungarees over a white shirt with pink stripes and yellow sandals. She wears a bracelet with a star pendant on her arm. Tiago is a medium-sized tiger shark with blue skin and blue and pink stripes. He wears a cap, a white shirt printed with an allegorical symbol of the sign of Cancer, black trousers and a red jacket with a yellow checkered pattern tied at the waist. He wears white trainers and a colourful costume jewellery necklace. Roberto is a large hammerhead shark of tall stature, with pink skin tattooed with representations of stars, tides and a misty moon. He has a blue piercing below his eyes and wears a black shirt with a trilunar symbol. He wears white jeans torn at the knees, held up by a blue belt with a yellow buckle.

Another old piece of art I've been revisiting is the reference sheet to the three main sharkfolk characters from the Waters Gone By story, which I'm experimenting with doing. I've changed a few lil details over time.

I really like these shorks! 🦈✨

An idea I had was to make my sharks' room with Animal Crossing that reflects their personality. This would be Roberto's room! In a nutshell, Roberto likes to cook, is talented with acoustic instruments and is fascinated with esotericism!

An idea I had was to make my sharks' room with Animal Crossing that reflects their personality. This would be Tiago's room! In a nutshell, Tiago likes geeky stuff, is talented with synthesizers and has a sporty lifestyle!

An idea I had was to make my sharks' room with Animal Crossing that reflects their personality. This would be Aria's room! In a nutshell, Aria loves history and archaeology books, is talented at singing, and has a nature photography enthusiast!

I was reminiscing about some old artwork I did, and I remembered these pieces I made trying to emulate the 'room' of my three characters, Roberto, Tiago, and Aria, in Animal Crossing, according to each of their personalities and backstories. 🦈✨

✨🌊 Waters Gone By 🌙✨

This year, if life circumstances allow, I will try to devote myself to an experimental webcomic to finally tell the story of my Sharkfolk! So I made this little animation to present the title of the story.

Although I'm unsure about it, I hope I can do it.

#shark #sharkfolk

A collection of all the little experimental animations I made of my sharkfolk ocs, an attempt to explore a little of their personality, especially how silly Roberto is! 🦈✨

I confess that it's a lot of work... at some point I'll finish and color all these animations, I hope.

An illustration of my two sharkfolk characters, Roberto, a great hammerhead shark, and Marina, a great white shark. Roberto is sitting on a small stool touching up his tattoos with his childhood friend Marina in her tattoo studio. The background shows pots of tropical plants, a table with tools, a floor lamp, and a window overlooking a garden outside.

As a bonus, I thought I'd do this little scene too.

It seems that Roberto took advantage of his denticle shedding to visit his tattoo artist friend Marina and give new meaning to his tattoos! 🦈✨

#shark #sharkfolk

A concept art illustration exploring ideas for redesigning the tattoos of my sharkfolk character, Roberto. It shows the tattoos on his body from various angles. There are three tattoos in total: On his right arm: A misty moon between clouds. On his left arm: Stylized giant ocean waves that start on his forearm and end as starry nebulae on his chest. On his back: Some kind of mythological figure, a type of cosmic creature with three heads with stars in place of heads and a fish tail at the end, a kind of fanciful stylization of three shooting stars.

Time to get back to what matters, my shorks OC's!

I had the idea of redesigning Roberto's tattoos to make them more meaningful, so I did some studies of how they would look on his body! 🦈✨

(Or just an excuse to draw Berto shirtless?)

#shark #sharkfolk

A small illustration depicting a sharkfolk with different fantasy archetypes: a small nurse shark squire, a great white shark knight or paladin with a large sword studded with his own teeth, a hammerhead shark wizard summoning star magic with a golden staff, and a small shark alchemist holding a magic potion and a grimoire. A small illustration of shark representations with modern archetypes: a ship captain shark holding a rudder, a large sailor shark holding a fishing rod, a lifeguard shark sitting on a high chair with a buoy, a hammerhead scientist shark holding a small tesla coil, a small shark with a magnifying glass, observing an Anthropocene fossil.

A little illustration I made to go with a text I wrote on Tumblr about archetypes that best match the symbolism of sharks, in my personal view. 🦈✨

Roberto, the great hammerhead shark, explores the ruins of an ancient museum destroyed by Typhon's storm. He holds a flashlight and carries a mysterious human spirit in his backpack, who accompanies him in silence. The place, shrouded by the phenomenon called “cursed salt mist”, is covered in a permanent fog. Salt crystals sprout everywhere and a supernatural presence seem to lurk among the rubble. The spirit that accompanies Roberto is liquid and translucent. Sometimes little tropical fish of extinct species float around him, as if attracted by his presence. The museum's architecture is full of organic curves and ornate tiles. Decorated columns show a crab with a human face holding the moon between its pincers, an ancient symbol of a historical figure revered by the sharkfolk.

Reposting this old art because I made some minor changes (I do this often dsfkjhgsdfg).

It looks like Roberto is involved in a supernatural adventure, accompanied by his little human specter friend! What are these two searching for? 🦈👻✨

A photograph of Queen, a female great hammerhead shark, and Jitterbug, a female tiger shark, taken by Mark Ray in Epic Diving.

Illustration of my sharkfolk OCs Roberto and Tiago. Roberto is a great hammerhead shark with pink skin. He wears a white shirt with a retro print, blue pants, black boots, and a pink shirt tied around his waist. He appears excited, leaning slightly forward, making a peace sign with both hands. Tiago is a tiger shark with bluish skin and blue and pink stripes. He wears a red long-sleeved shirt with a solar print, black pants, white sneakers, and a red cap. He is smiling next to Roberto, with one hand in his pocket and the other also making the peace sign. Both pose cheerfully as if having their picture taken, in front of a background that resembles a stylized aquarium tunnel.

Shark Friends! ✌️🦈✨

An idea I had to make my silly shorks Roberto and Tiago inspired by this photo hehe

An unfinished sketch of my two sharkfolk characters, Roberto and Tiago, posing as if they were taking a photo together.

I saw this photo of a great hammerhead shark and a tiger shark together and thought it would be cool to try sketching my two characters, Roberto and Tiago, who are the same species as in the photo hehe 🦈🦈✨

I'll finish it at some point.

#sharkfolk #shark

An attempt to illustrate four expressions of my OC Roberto, the great hammerhead shark. In the first, he has a curious, uncertain expression with his right hand on his chest. In the second, he is looking sideways with a neutral expression, his index finger touching his chin. In the third, he has a silly, smiling expression, as if apologizing for something, with his right hand behind his head and his left hand with an open palm. In the fourth, he looks indignant and annoyed about something, shrugging his shoulders.

Now I made the same expressions but with Roberto being what he really is, a very silly great hammerhead shark! 🦈✨

I thought I'd update the reference sheet illustration of my three silly shark characters! I made the original in 2023, and now I'm more comfortable with their new shapes! 🦈🦈🦈✨

I also took the opportunity to redo the reference sheet illustration of my three sharkfolks. 🦈🦈🦈✨

Realized I haven't posted anything specifically for #sharkweek yet so have a compilation of Cee'foon "Chum" the sharkfolk. He's quite friendly and eager to meet new people.

#nsfw #sharkfolk #shark #art #ocart

A fan piece of @tieflingmodesty.bsky.social that I've been wanting to do for months and finally had the time to do. Chum seems to keep meeting people this way.

(Remaking post because I forgot labels)

An anatomical diagram shows the skeleton of a Sharkfolk descended from the great white sharks. The structure of the skeleton resembles that of a human, but with some differences: the bones of the arms and legs are more robust, the rib cage has spines, and there are visible bones forming the dorsal fin, the small fins at the elbows and the large caudal fin. Finally, there is the rather eccentric and unique shark skull.

An image version of the Sharkfolk skeleton diagram, I chose to represent it with a Great White Shark, as its large body helps to visualize it better. 🦴🦈🦴

#shark #sharkfolk

An illustration of Roberto, a Sharkfolk descended from the great hammerhead shark, in consultation with a radiologist. The short doctor, a Sharkfolk descended from the mako shark, enthusiastically displays the x-ray image of Roberto's skull, which he looks at in surprise, commenting on how it looks almost alien. The background is decorated with a wooden table with a small sculpture of a wild shark skeleton, a pot with tall plants and a wall adorned with colorful tiles.

Finally, Roberto, being a great hammerhead shark, would probably have one of the most "eccentric" skulls of the species hehe

#shark #sharkfolk

Someone on Tumblr asked what sharkfolk skeletons might look like.

I imagine they have a unique adaptation to living on land and in the sea, perhaps similar to amphibians: a hybrid skeleton of bone and cartilage. 🦴🦈🦴

If you see this, post your blue art 🟦💙

#lizardfolk #sharkfolk #dnd #oc #ocart

Illustration depicting the passage through the ages of hammerhead sharkfolk, presented as an evolutionary line. There is an ornament symbolizing a mysterious moonlit event of supernatural origin on a global scale. Moon phase symbols mark passage of time, and waves shift from rough to calm. The illustration begins with a storm and great wave engulf an unknown city, suggesting the end of the Anthropocene. The first image shows a wild hammerhead shark swimming freely in the open sea, illuminated by sunlight. In the second, the shark already has developed arms and pelvic fins that are beginning to adapt to form legs. It devours a fish caught with its bare hands. The third scene shows the shark with more evolved limbs, trying to crawl out of the water on a rocky beach. Some seaweed is attached to its dorsal fin. In the fourth scene, the shark is completely adapted to life on the surface. It uses plants as rudimentary clothing and builds a shelter of clay and shells under a mangrove tree. It is pouring nectar from a broken coconut into a small bowl. The fifth scene depicts a shark in a developed tribal society, wearing more elaborate clothing and carrying a wooden spear adorned with its own teeth. In the background are huts with conical roofs. The sixth image shows a shark in a similarly medieval era, wearing an elegant tunic and holding a crosier with a lunar symbol. He knees before an unknown human figure. Palaces with domes appear in the background. The seventh image represents an era similar to the Enlightenment or Industrial Age. The shark wears sophisticated clothing reminiscent of an engineer's and holds up an invention: a flask filled with glowing liquid that powers a light bulb. Elegant masonry houses with clay roofs appear in the background. In the eighth and final scene, a shark lives in a contemporary era, wearing modern clothes inspired by a teenage punk. He plays a moon-shaped guitar, while modern buildings and apartments form the background.

Color blocking done, now I can think about colors in peace! 🎨✨

These aren't the final colors, To avoid the anxiety of thinking about colors, I do this fill before anything else, it also helps me distribute the reduced palette so that the same colors aren't too close together.

#shark #sharkfolk

Three sharkfolks representing clothing from a tribalistic era. The first little shark, which appears to be a blacktip reef shark, is wearing rudimentary clothing made from plants and algae, and is holding a large fruit. The second robust shark, which appears to be a caribbean reef shark, is wearing more complex and ornate clothing made of handcrafted algae fibers, its body features tribal paintings, and it holds a spear decorated with its own teeth. The third tall shark, which appears to be a hammerhead shark, is wearing a more elaborate tunic, adorned with bird feathers and detailed weaving. Two sharkfolks representing clothing from a medieval era. The first large shark, which appears to be a great white shark, is wearing a ceremonial robe made of fine, soft fabric made from seaweed. It holds an ornate crosier with a moon symbol on top The second elder shark, which appears to be a greenland shark, is covered in thick clothing with abundant plumage, suitable for cold environments. A large decorated cloak surrounds it like a tunic, and it rests on an ornate walking stick Two sharkfolks representing the clothing of an industrial age. The first young shark, which appears to be a blue shark, is dressed in an elegant costume consisting of a richly detailed dress with puffed sleeves, long pants and ornate boots. The second tall shark, which appears to be a hammerhead, is wearing an elaborate overalls over a long-sleeved blouse, combined with discreet shoes Two sharkfolks representing clothing from a modern era. The first robust shark, which appears to be a tiger shark, is wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a retro print, long pants and sneakers. Wearing a jacket tied around his waist and a cap on his head. The second shark, which appears to be a lemon shark, wears a short-sleeved shirt and long pants with a high waist. Wearing sneakers on his feet and a decorative scarf tied around his neck.

Someone on Tumblr asked me how my Sharkfolk would make clothes, since mammals were extinct in their time. Well, there are many ways to make clothes! They would make them mainly with seaweed fibers. 🌿

I made this little sketch trying to represent the evolution of their clothing.

#shark #sharkfolk

Illustration depicting the passage through the ages of hammerhead sharkfolk, presented as an evolutionary line. At the beginning of the illustration, there seems to be a representation of the end of the Anthropocene era, with a storm and a great wave engulfing an unknown city. The first image shows a wild hammerhead shark swimming freely in the open sea, illuminated by sunlight. In the second, the shark already has developed arms and pelvic fins that are beginning to adapt to form legs. It devours a fish caught with its bare hands. The third scene shows the shark with more evolved limbs, trying to crawl out of the water on a rocky beach. Some seaweed is attached to its dorsal fin.

He plays a moon-shaped guitar, while modern buildings and apartments form the background.

A little progress I've made on the sketch of an idea I'd left behind.

An attempt to show the different eras of my sharkfolk, through what appear to be the ancestors of my character Roberto, a great hammerhead shark. 🦈✨

I need to think of a name for each of these ages.

#shark #sharkfolk

A simple silly animation I thought of making with Roberto and his two loving companions! 🦈❤️🦈❤️🦈

#sharks #sharkfolk

Two anthropomorphic sharks in retro-style clothes. Paolo, a short bull shark, wears a shirt with a print of Saturn over the ocean, blue pants, red sneakers with yellow and a purple jacket tied around his waist. He carries a yellow backpack and has space-themed tattoos on his arm, looking like a nerd with a passion for astronomy. Selena, a scalloped hammerhead shark, wears a pastel yellow shirt with a star print, blue shorts, cyan boots and a colorful jacket with star details. She wears teardrop and star-shaped earrings, in a style reminiscent of an esoteric astrology fan.

I redesigned the two love interests of Roberto, my great hammerhead shark! 🦈✨

☀️ Paollo Daybreaker, descendant of Bull sharks.

🌙 Selena Nightseer, descendant of Scalloped hammerhead sharks.

A space nerd boy and an esoteric astrologer girl, what could go wrong? hehe 🚀✨🔮

#sharks #sharkfolk

I made this little gif for someone on Tumblr who praised Roberto's design as both shark and human, but his heart clearly belonged to his shark version hehe 🦈✨

My humans are pretty weird, but I like them anyway.

#sharks #sharkfolk

Jokes aside, I'll definitely always love them as silly sharks hehe

I don't really like how I draw human faces anyway, but at some point I'm going to have to learn due to an important human character in my sharkfolk stories. 🦈✨

#shark #sharkfolk

A anthro great hammerhead shark pink-skinned, she is a "Moontide Sorcerer" dressed in a white, starry tunic while holding a lunar staff. While a mystical star manifests above his head, shimmering in many colors, and his ampoules shine like points of light in his snout, she is feeling the magical emanations of a long-lost relic beneath the sands and crystals of an ancient ruin. She says to the human accompanying him: "It's here! I feel the magical emanations of the lost relic pulsating in my Electro-sense!" The human stares at the ground while holding a pickaxe. Beneath the sands is a layer of crystals surrounding like a geode what appears to be a human skull with a shiny jeweled ornament encrusted on its forehead. An imaginative exploration of how shark characters could make use of their electro-sense, a shark sense capable of capturing electrical pulsations and electromagnetic fields through their "Ampullae of Lorenzini".

This is yet another idea to “gamifying” the unique shark characteristics! 🎮✨

What if sharks' electro-sense could be used to find hidden magical treasures? They would be able to sense the electromagnetic field of objects or enemies emanating some kind of energy. ⚡️🦈⚡️
