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.”

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.

I extended it for a loop, colored and rendered Bruce’s laugh animation! My first laugh animation ever, and of course it had to be Bruce. 🦈 Or at least, an AU form of him.

[chainsxwsmile]

Something rough but I’ve been meaning to try a laughing animation with Bruce! Audio is from Disney:Kinect, Barry Humphries (Bruce’s VA)

For anyone new, this is my AU design of Bruce in the Tolkien legendarium— an Olog, or an intelligent, sun-resistant troll.

// Sorry I should have published this sooner but I’m on a semi-hiatus at the moment while I finish a long overdue fanfiction.

I am more active on my instagram right now (same handle)

Finding Nemo: A Dory Story

Disney Adventures, September 2003

[chainsxwsmile]

Going through some stuff ™ irl so it’s time for self-indulgent comfort character content with my favorite shark Bruce

[chainsxwsmile]

Finding Dory stole from us a potentially hilarious relationship between Marlin and Bruce (and Chum and Anchor).

[chainsxwsmile]

I animated something for an instagram reel— you can move the hand and pretend to ‘pet’ Bruce!

[chainsxwsmile]

I haven’t done one of these in a long time!

One of my favorite things to do is make fake screenshots by posing and drawing atop a Bruce model from Disney Magic Kingdoms. In some of my earlier works, I’ve put Bruce into Finding Dory and other settings.

Here is one of my many verses with Bruce, in his winged-Cetus form 🦈❤️

Background/setting (c) HTTYD / Dreamworks

Thank you to @macrolago for the adorable suggestion!

What’s funny is that this isn’t just Bruce, Anchor, and Chum who are cuddly sharks— shark species like nurse sharks and white-tip reef sharks sleep en-masse in piles! Scientists theorize that this behavior may be for both security and socialization, which is usual in many species!
