A commission for the awesome
DiscardingSabot of his specialist shark, Sabot!
He was sent to secure a sunken nuclear submarine, as concerns of it might attracting unwanted scavengers arose. The fears were not misplaced, as he quickly discovered a small team of unknown divers around the ship, likely to salvage warheads for the black market ... Luckily, he has the element of surprise, and the training to handle this situation!
Because of the waters are highly contaminated, he is forced to wear a special drysuit to protect him from radiation leaking from the damaged reactors. A huge compromise for a shark, but there are no other options.
..
This was a really intense piece of work, given the amount of equipment and overall scene, but I'm really happy with the result! We tried several different ideas, poses, angles, till we came up with this one!
Really enjoyed doing the different materials, learning a bit of info about military gear, and the completely different diving gear setup here ;w;
Also, sharks! <3
Hope you'll like him!

What im trying to say is, ADS is not a common AK or AR that exist in hundreds thousands and that you can get anywhere, no. ADS is a very specialized, high tech piece of gear, heavily reserved for the nation that owns it. Seeing a NATO-country guy use it then implies that he got it by either stealing it directly from an inland Russian base, or mostly likely picked it off from a murdered Russian combat diver.
You can see how such implication is unsettling. Not trying to do anything here, just explaining my reasoning and leaving my two cents :P otherwise the pic itself still looks great

I think my favourite things about this piece are the colours and the depth perception.
Despite the primary colour being blue, the greenish filter/hue makes the sea bottom seem almost otherworldly which makes it very interesting to look at. There is also the few bits of stark colour that stand out and it's just really fun to look at. ;u;
And I really like how the depth perception was handled in this, the silhouettes getting more and more faded the further away is really great! It almost feels like I'm looking at an underwater photo!
Oh, and the amount of detail you put into this is pretty dope too! :D

The answer is in the description -w- "Because of the waters are highly contaminated, he is forced to wear a special drysuit to protect him from radiation leaking from the damaged reactors. A huge compromise for a shark, but there are no other options."
But the rule of cool was the most important thing admittedly, gear is good!
Plus, personally I never really had a problem with sharks needing gear; same as having bird characters that don't have wings or can't fly. Some species just have appealing physical characteristics (beaks, muzzle shapes, tails, feet and so on) and keeping every trait would be sort of a compromise.
