Description Argh sorry to be uploading this late... again, only had the heart to digitally color, but it looks less... messy... XD

This was supposed to be for my Day 5 of Shark Week. :3

Here we've got the Porbeagle Shark (Lamna nasus), a member of the shark family known as the Mackerel Sharks (Lamnids). This species is the ecological equivalent of a Salmon Shark, but it is found in the Atlantic instead of the Pacific. :3
I love how stocky these guys are; also, their eyes. So cute. >3<
What's really neat about 'em is they've got a rather large nose that is supported by calcified (hardened) cartilage. They also have a distinctive white patch on the back part of their first dorsal fin.

LOL went texture crazy with this because the skin has a strange, dirty look to it. Also... boring unoriginal body posture is boring. I was having trouble with this one for some reason.
Anyways, hope you like it, and sorry to have left anyone hanging on mah shark week fun!

I like how you rendered the skin, dirty silver and the surrounding water cloudy speckled green which really frames him well.

He has an ominous quality then again he's a shark, gotta be active

Hehe, I was having trouble drawing him in such a way that his face didn't look all... creeper-like... XD
But I am glad you liked this picture!
