10/10

sweet!

dat barrel is legit

a brake to match the user :]

:D So cool!

Thanks!

Now that's my kind of Mako.

Mako's are pretty sweet!

Everyone loves the Mako shark, even if they don't realize it (thank you Jaws!).

Also, this is supremely well done.

yeah you don't see them too often, it's mostly great whites, or hammer heads (who are also rad)
Thanks!

Fabulous work on ALL the textures, and that muzzle brake is badass!
Love the shell holders on his chest rig, too.
Once again, jaw-dropping work, Stu.
Thanks for sharing!

Cheers Beast!
Always fun when designing load outs like this, and working out their function :]

You should get an award for making one of the first cool realistic anthro sharks I've seen on FA!

Chur Stig! an honour since there are so many other rad shark illustrations out there :0

Where are they hiding? I see so many of the toony sharks (which I do like) that I forgot actual shark animals existed!

seen a couple painted up on DA, and Dave Rapoza who is the kind of textures I think is doing a comic with a shark anthro :0

I was also thinking of Dan LuVisi's shark guy from Last Man Standing, which was when I realized I should specify "on FA".

Ahh true the great white with the goldfish friend, that was a sweet book as well

11/10. Dang that is so cool looking bol!

Chur bol!

Haha love the muzzle break :P Awesome detail :3

haha yeah that was a fun detail to add :]
thanks!

This is totally rad. I want an action figure of this.

CHeers! and that would be pretty sweet :0

I did NOT know the Federal Trade Commission was now employing sharks.

oops the first letter D is obscured there, but who wouldn't hire a shark?

Also the "N" at the end!

I was just joking, but you are absolutely correct, a shark with a gun is just terrifying.

haha all good :V

Totally awesome design!

Thanks!

Certainly!

Thanks Mace!

This is a really stellar rendition of an anthropomorphic shark and kudos for picking a species that a lot of people seem to overlook. I am quite enjoying how you have designed his goggles and headset as an all in one setup that looks ergonomic and well thought out for the shape of his head.

The way the patterning on his uniform follows the wrinkles in the fabric is highly believable and has a natural flow to it. Did you use a brush for it or was it a texture? Either way, you have pulled it off. Sweet work, Stu!

Thanks! you want that stuff secure when running about as I learnt from experience.
It was just a texture over lay, and then using the puppet warp to make it bend more naturally with some of the form :]

That's one shotgun muzzle I wouldn't wanna nuzzle ;O

wouldn't think there would be a single shotgun you would want to nuzzle :S

Very well done!

Cheers!

Absolutely twisted sick! Love that collar and thick neck, looks cool and appropriate too!

Chur bol! got a water re-breather there to make things a bit thicker too

Yes yes and yes. If there was ever an artistic style and approach I'd want to emulate, it would be yours. This is fabulous.

Thank you Struggler! much appreciated :]

Dat trigger discipline <3

very important ;]

Love it!

thanks!

"... and that is to have sharks with frickin' body armor and shotguns!" -Dr Evil

haha niiice. you had me thinking if I should of added some kind of laser pointing device to his head, but it wouldn't make much sense besides that funny ref :V

Jawesome!

G-damn cool design.

Thanks!

Land Shark!

fully!

Ahh wow, you really did a nice job on texturing everything - the cloth looks especially genuine!

Cheers bro! helps getting that ref to make sure it looks legit

but does it shoot shark teeth?

wouldn't be enough mass to rip thing as much as lead, unless it's lead shaped like shark teeth :0

perhaps a lead slug shaped like a megalodon tooth with a sabot wad so that it shoots straight-ish :)

that could work :0c

sick design : o

Cheers!

Cheers!

Operators gonna operate. B3 Badass character, man!

Operating deep on the surface :V
thanks!

The fabric on the plate carriers shoulder straps are just lovelyyyy

thank you :]

This is pretty rad, all the little textures and details going on, really bring it all together :D

Thanks Pizzacat! it's really fun making these loadouts and figuring out how useful it would be to them :]

im reminded of Payday 2 heh.

ohh they have shark masks in payday 2?

dont know might have they have alot of animal masks like a panda, tiger, etc.

I LOVE THIS ALL OTHER SHARKS GO HOME

Chur Toulouse!

Amazing piece. Anatomy is pretty much spot-on, and you did a great job rendering the texture of his uniform. My favorite thing about it, however, is how crisp it looks. The colors are vibrant and clear, with just the right balance of highlight and shadow. It's something I'm struggling with myself; my colors always end up looking muddy and faded, with too much highlight.

Great work!

Cheers! I just make my image go grey scale to check the values to see where the hot spots are. I also have transparency locked off once I have the shape I want to paint inside, so I don't have to worry about other brush strokes going outside of it.

Will do! Thanks for the tips, man. ^^

Extremely semi-realistic.

thanks!

Awesome muzzle brake!!

thanks!

The PMC stands for Private-Military-Contractor correct?

Yeap you're right!

SWAT Shark! \|'3 so awesome~!

Sharks just rule in general!
Chur!!

..can't argue with that! X'3
