Thank you!! I'm glad to hear :D Feel free to ask as much as you want!

Hunt and Chase enjoy playing with their food before eating it, indeed! Much like an orca will kick a seal around, they will too. Unless the prey is able to escape, it always ends up dead. No exceptions. I've had some people who want my sharks to meet their ocs, and I will iterate. They are not friendly, they cannot be anyone's friend or bro, and they will try to kill them. They pretend they are friendly/flirty, to simply lure a prey into the water to bang and kill. They might let you go if they get bored, or figured out they just weren't that hungry. They are very playful.

Hunt and Chase are a bonded pair, not related by blood! Something closer to two homoerotic frat boys. They met, bonded at an early age and stayed together ever since. The males of the species tend to pair up, while the female prefer to live alone and/or in larger family/friend groups. Unbothered, moisturized and happy. They lay eggs and the shark pup will stay with the females for a short while before they venture off into the world on their own. There is very little parental care.

The male pairs will beef with other males for territory or fun. They might gather for a feeding frenzy if they smell enough blood in the water from a large prey. The shark folk prefer darker murky water, but have been known to travel to warmer places for summer vacation when people are gathering at the beach, alcohol is running rampant and careless people go for swims. They do not stay in one place for long and will not have "home" the same way the merfolk do. They can swim in both salt and fresh water, but prefer salt. Hunt and Chase look like typical sharkbois, and behave in a typical manner. Except they are more of a menace than most. They are larger and stronger than a merman. Mermen are prettier and more androgynous.

You could say the shark folk are cousin species of the merfolk. While the merfolk might be a bit more human in their ways, the shark folk are shark first. The merfolk fear them and try to stay far away.

Hi!! Sorry for the late reply, currently somewhere in the Indian Ocean right now!

Thank you so much!! Glad you like the Aramisses, they are a joy to draw ❤️ yes he is dangerous yes he is ready to kill yes he is iddy biddy, these are the facts.

My favourite three musketeers character is actually the Comte de Rochefort 😳😳 but not exactly as he is in the original novel, more the way he is characterised in adjacent media, especially animated adaptations of the story (specifically D’Artagnan Et Les Trois Mousquetaires, the 1982 anime where all the characters are dogs or other small critters, and Sous Le Signe Des Mousquetaires, the 1989 anime) This is super niche, I know! But I’m a huge sucker for bad guy character that goes from enemies to rivals to begrudging ally to friend of the main characters, I live for that, and that’s literally Rochefort’s character arc in the books, but all the good enemies to friends action happens off-screen (off-page?) as Dumas just sort of tells us D’Artagnan and Rochefort fought a bunch and then ended up being friends in the epilogue, iirc. The animated media adaptions made for children just make it more obvious! And often more silly 🤭 Also I have a baby brain and I like looking at pretty images. Anyway, Rochefort number 1 ❤️✨

My opinion on Captain Treville is that I love him, he is a Dad. Assigned father of a hundred feral men with swords. A stellar character, absolutely no notes. As for the Cardinal, I mean, who doesn’t love the ‘king’s advisor is clearly duplicitous and self-interested and everyone can see it but the king still employs him’ trope. Who doesn’t love a good ambitious, morally grey, stops at nothing but ostensibly on the ‘good’ side antagonist once in a while. Good stuff, says I. + The two play off each other so well imo. Sorry if that’s not very new or interesting! I don’t usually have very fresh or creative takes on things 😭😭

Oh. Thats not good.

Favourite piece of art from this year so far?

Anything! ooh! That's a fun question. I haven't been able to produce much personal art this year, as I've been (thankfully... and a little sadly) Very busy with commissioned art. I think ill have to say these two maybe: I'm quite pleased with how my men are turning out these days. It's truly a super fun project. I've been drawing one monster man each month for over a year now :'D
