Urban Sharks 🏙️🦈✨

Our three shark buddies love hanging out at Fintastic Snacks! 🥪🍤🍨🦈

“Even after being threatened by the great extinctions of the past, sharks remained resilient as they headed into the future. But now they wear clothes, use cell phones, play video games, and make music! How much time has passed?” 🎮🦈✨

[Update 2]

I finally finished this artwork! ✨

This is the second experiment I did to try drawing over the 3D model I created of Tidebay city, where my sharkfolk live. It really helps a lot not to worry too much about perspective, I just had to improvise the shadow placement to prioritize the composition.

The complete artwork and creation process are on my Patreon if you'd like to see it and support me in any way! However, I will post the complete artwork here at some point.

[Update 1]

I've made a little more progress with the color blocking. It still feels a bit messy to me, sometimes I have trouble balancing the shadow colors. That's it for now. If you'd like to see the full progress and the complete illustration, you can check it out on my Patreon, if you'd like!

I’ve been recovering from a bad sickness last week, and while I’m trying to get back into my routine, I’m slowly continuing to work on this piece depicting an urban scene featuring my sharkfolk. You can follow along on my Patreon if you’d like.

This is a section of the 3D environment I chose to compose the scene!

I’ll update the post as I continue working on the art.

In a distant post-Anthropocene future, after the rise of the sharkfolk civilization, a hammerhead shark named Roberto asks himself a question! 🦈💬

As promised, here's the full version of this test sketch I made. Originally, there weren't supposed to be any characters in the scene, but I wanted to experiment with how I would do it and inserted Roberto and Tiago having a silly, random dialogue.

Testing things 🗨️🦈

While testing out ways to create dialogue, I think this font isn't very legible from a distance.

Versão em portugues que é um pouco mais engraçada, eu acho:

A sunny day at Restinga beach 🌺🌴✨

Here's a small diagram I made to help me find my way around the Seven Waves, The home of my sharkfolk friends. 🦈✨

I'm still unsure which English terminology would be ideal: Residential, Building, Towers, Complex? Which would be best to use?

After thinking about it, I came up with: The Seven Waves - Residential Island.

Here's a really bad video I made so you can see the model better. At some point I'll redo this drawing without the 3D model to make it look like a building map pamphlet or postcard.
