Roughed, cleaned up, colored, and rendered in a few hours— a very short clip but definitely a new personal record lol

[chainsxwsmile]

The first snippet of something I’m working on- a tiny project explaining some of Bruce’s backstory in his Tolkien verse!

This year, I definitely want to tackle more animation and perspective skills

Clean-up and rough pass:

How easy is it to subdue a giant Cetus / sea monster?

Shockingly easy if it’s ticklish (and if it’s your friend, most importantly). A little gift for @macrolago ft. Perry the Bilby and Bruce (Cetus form)!

My strongest motivation was unfortunately to draw something neither cute nor cuddly but it’s been over a year since I’ve drawn anything about my very first (and self-indulgent) fanfic ‘The Riddle of the Troll’, with my favorite fictional characters Bruce and Bilbo Baggins meeting. 🫠

Bilbo (very obviously) lives, don’t worry!

It’s my birthday!

Generally, Bruce has pretty much only ever had people either 1) run from him or 2) try to kill him, but the one way to make him completely ‘blue screen’? Charm 👍

Finally finished Bruce’s form in Arcane!

(As a foreword, I only know lore via ArcaneS1)

Bruce hails from Bilgewater but lives currently in Zaun with Ekko’s community.

While an impressive tank force in the Firelights operations, Bruce is an ex-shimmer user and shies away from getting near any of the supply for fear of losing control and causing friendly fire.

That said, Bruce hosts weekly support and therapy groups for any Zaunite trying to quit shimmer.

I think one topic I’d love to explore with Bruce is how he will allow other individuals to ‘use’ him because it’s better than the alternative. If said individual is more pragmatic than sensitive towards Bruce’s own feelings, they could easily use Bruce to their own advantage.

Bruce is intelligent, of course, and would likely pick up on the feeling that someone would rather pretend to be a ‘friend’ in exchange for protection from predators— or even peers who disagree with said individual’s plans/agendas/etc. by using Bruce as an intimidating factor.

The problem therein lies that Bruce wouldn’t really do much about it. Aside from criticizing said individual if their plan is considerably immoral or hurting his friends, Bruce likely wouldn’t detach himself from being this free-bodyguard to someone who only sees him as such.

Because Bruce does want to be a protector. He wants to be a guardian instead of a threat. And even if one individual isn’t exactly a saint but still recognizes that Bruce isn’t a monster, he’d be happy to feed on such scraps.

In such a way, Bruce’s own needs and desires to be seen as a gentle protector instead of a mindless eating machine warps his own self-worth, no matter how confident he might appear.

Childhood friends AU with Bruce and Marlin? It was revealed to me in a dream. Bone apple tea.

I’m still not seeing Mufasa but this part of the song is damn catchy

I REALLY challenged myself tonight! Seeing everyone do their pieces in Arcane’s style, I wanted to take a shot at drawing my design of Bruce (Finding Nemo) as a human!

I do wish that I made him have his classic toothy grin, but I’m just a beginner at the Arcane style (this is my first attempt), so I decided to do something simpler.

I heavily referenced William Nguyen‘s face model on ArtStation to get a better understanding of human face topography and how shadows and lighting react to it.

I also made my own brush for the rendering ❤️

I mean, he IS, Dory, but he’s a safe ex-predator 😆

Bonnethead sharks are the only omnivorous shark species (discovered so far)- they eat sea grass! Maybe Bruce could ask one for advice on a fish-free diet?

“It would be a lot more convenient to eat sea grass instead of meat (or fish, for obvious reasons). Nowadays, I prefer to only scavenge sea birds and mammals— waste not, want not, eh? But being able to live off of sea grass would definitely help keep down those cravings. Shame I wasn’t born a Bonnethead instead of a Great White.”

[chainsxwsmile]

How’s Bruce deal with pollution?

It’s more than annoying, having to deal with ghost nets. And although sometimes Bruce would want nothing more than a rich marine mammal meal, he prefers to scavenge nowadays.

Getting caught in a ghost net would usually spell the end for an unfortunate sea animal. Luckily, this friendly shark has some sharp teeth and special care.

Did you know that most of the plastic pollution in the ocean is abandoned fishing gear?

Holy SHIT I finally have a tumblr account and I can finally say something your one of my best favourite finding nemo characters Bruce ❤️‍🩹🤿🦈and especially I love sharks a lot and deserve to be protected more and not treated as villains anyways my question is

Have you encountered any scuba divers or swimmers basically anyone who actually liked seeing the sight of you or is it the typical jaws nonsense where they think your going to eat them. sigh

“A few times. Ever so often, there’re some ‘cage-divers’ that show up. As… violent as many humans tend to be towards us, sharks, these humans aren’t too bad. They stay inside the cage and on the boat, and don’t try to hook us. A decent change of pace, I’ll be honest.”

// Thank you so much!! I’m so happy you like the blog!

(As in depth/little as you want,) What is Bruce and the Finding Nemo gang like as roomates (Human AU!)

I mostly hc Bruce as living in a solo apartment, in walking distance of Chum and Anchor’s apartment! But if they did live together, they’d likely have different rooms for their own needs.

Anchor prefers incremental alone time for his own social battery, unlike Bruce who is the epitome of an extravert (and needs the company of others to get energy). Chum is somewhere in between, and leans more towards ambivert.

Career-wise, Chum and Bruce are the only ones with a 9-5 job, as a tattoo artist and mechanic laborer, respectively. Anchor works odd hours in technology, and most of his job is remote.

Finally, and ironically, Bruce hates needles. It often falls on either Anchor or Chum to help with his t-shots.

Read that killer whales attack sharks…has Bruce ever been threatened by a pod of orcas?

The very unfortunate reality is that if a great white gets spotted by a pod of orcas that are interested in eating them, the chance of escape is slim to none. As much as Bruce doesn’t want to judge a book by its cover, he also very much wants to live.

And that means tailing it as fast as possible in the opposite direction if there’s a single orca around.
