Description Hey guys! Another one of my pieces for this week. This is one of my concepts of the Sharkman based on Steve Alten's book of the same name. Although described in the book as having a brownish skin texture, I decided to keep the same gray skin tone commonly seen in Sharks. Let me know what you guys think!

I've been looking for blocky-headed shark people for inspiration for a starmade skin I'm planning, and this is perfect for that. I think the gills would work well either behind the cheekbones or underneath the ear on mine, but this looks amazing. I wonder what it looks like with it's mouth closed. Great job!

I've seen other attempts at "Shark men" and every single one has failed, and failed badly, IMO.  

THIS.......not only wins on pure artistic merit, but the design is fabulous and would be the first I have ever seen that would translate IRL to 3D design.  I absolutely love this piece.

Only minor critique is the lack of the rows of teeth behind the main, which would make it look even more frightening.

Positively unsettling The skin texture is great, though the teeth look a bit flat like they were painted on. But it's not a biggie and doesn't take much away from the whole.

Kwan! Oh my goodness! I saw this and I thought immediately of the book, unknowing this was actually a fanart of such. Do you mind if I share it to the fans of Steve Alten books on Facebook?

Yes, please go ahead and share this on facebook. By the way, I have also done illustrations for Steve Alten's upcoming book MEG: NIGHTSTALKERS.
I'll be posting some illustrations for MEG soon, so stay tuned!
