Hello! Fellow shark lover here, so that means i absolutely love your art! What is your favourite piece youve made of all time and what inspired you to create it if anything did? 🦈

I'm so glad you like my shark art! 🦈✨

I had to think about your question for a while, but I think my favorite piece is this one. It's part of a series of illustrations set in the same world, created during the first Sharktober in 2020.

The story depicts a little pilgrim shark exploring the ruins of his own world, where he finds wonders created by his ancestors, now forgotten.

Even though his people have lost all hope, this little one is determined to restore the image of an ancient deity, once the ruler of the ocean spirit. This divinity, however, is corrupted by a sinister shadow that consumes it as faith fades.

If I were to try to describe the meaning of this story, I would say that the little shark could represent me. He symbolizes my own journey in exploring both the reality of sharks, which are on the brink of extinction, and the fascinating aspects of their biology, ecology and role in the world - things that are ignored and in danger of being forgotten. His journey to “purify” the tarnished image of sharks reflects my attempt to recover the fascination and admiration they deserve.

However, like the little shark, I feel powerless in the face of such a great challenge. Who am I to counterbalance the negative influence that the movie Jaws had and that reverberates to this day? It only took one movie to destroy sharks’ image; could the opposite be done with the same intensity?

The fact that it seems that only this little shark still holds out hope of restoring the lost ocean, while their people live daily lives resignedly, waiting for the end, perhaps reflects something personal for me. Many times, those closest to me have discouraged me from trying to help the sharks, saying that it was “useless" or that I should "fight for a more important cause”.

Just as the little shark chose to trust his heart and leave his village, I decided to trust only myself on this lonely journey. Still, I keep trying. From ruin to ruin, the little shark persists, restoring one spark at a time to the great cosmic shark.

Perhaps, at some point along the way, when I can no longer go on, I will be able to inspire others to continue this journey. May they purify more sparks, until the full image of the sharks is restored.

Currently, I'm thinking of using the world I've created of this little pilgrim shark as some kind of “ RPG Book” of my modern sharkfolk that you know, it would probably be called “The Buried Ocean”.

Is the friends of Ludwig the II discord server still available?

It is!

In King Ludwig II’s defense, if I had basically infinite discretionary funds, was accountable to absolutely no one, and was king of a country full of picturesque landscapes, you couldn’t stop me from building myself a big gay fairytale castle on a mountaintop either.

okay so.. another ocs post

this is a dumb parody cartoonish setting which i originally created when i was 9 years old (yes i had the exact year written somewhere so now i remember this lmao) and it's about two countries of 'cats' and 'dogs' that are in the constant state of war.. like the war just never ends and their whole societies are based on militaristic shit and propaganda and so on. originally the characters were literal anthropomorphic animals but when i remembered about this setting (two years ago..) and redesigned everything i made them humans but they're still like the humanizations of cats and dogs.. the initial plot was like an extremely stupid 40s(ish) spy movie, i've added a bit more lore details now but the main heroes remained some cringefail cartoonish spies. also i have to add that i was UHH A LITTLE BIT FUCKED UP as a kid and for some reason i made the 'cats' state uuuhhm well uh how to put it. they're like. women in uniform who torture people for idk just for fun mostly, and this was like .. practically all that happened there. i didn't really change that part so they're still women in uniform (all of the significant characters at least). yeah..

these are the main heroes (a dog and a cat and they're both girls <3)

this is THE MYTH THE LEGEND the cats leader (she's pretty cringe too, don't let the appearance fool you):

the dogs leader and the former cats leader (he died. rip) they're 928449298 years old and were enemies for so long that almost became friends
