Defy. Resist. Rebel.

Guy Fawkes Night is tonight. Even though he himself wasn't successful, he has come to represent protest, anonymity and defiance.

I did this quick illustration in marker and Prismacolor to honor today. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’™

Four different shark-themed jack-o-lanterns.

I know I posted this earlier this month, but felt it deserved a repost with it being both #Halloween AND #FishyFriday.

My daughter carved the Jaws one (lower right) and I carved the others in different years.

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 โ€œcursed salt mistโ€, 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.

An allegory of the "Jaws" movie poster that caused damage and negative stereotypes to the image of sharks that persist to this day (I'm glad it's slowly changing, but it's still too slow to be considered forgivable). Now with a reversal of roles, with the human victim replaced by a simple wild shark and the terrible stereotyped shark replaced by a monstrous human skull seeming to want to devour the shark (this is the reality, we kill thousands of sharks every year, many of them killed for irrational reasons, who is the real cruel killer?)

Just make it exist first.
I saw this trend going around - especially in the pixelart circles - but i figured I'd bring it over cuz it applies to almost every artistic field. Heck to almost anything really. Make it exist, make it happen. And THEN polish, work-it, improve it.
