I've been trying to do THIS picture for the last 4 years. I finally got it right. I think I'll get a poster sized print of this done to put on my wall. Isn't the Mershark freaky?

Here's some screen caps of the process for painting his face! [link]

Close ups: [link]

Pencil sketched, scanned, Inked and colored in Painter & PS CS2. Took about 12 hours on and off. :insanely proud right now:

Man, Photoshop CS2 is an AMAZING program :0. I only did the main painting of the characters in Painter, the rest is photoshop. I'm getting the hang of using the custom brush settings :3. I can make all sorts of stuff on the fly. Makes painting a LOT of fun. ONE more picture. Maybe two. I'm enjoying this way too much. Been up since 1 pm yesterday. Time for bed.

:iconnashya:
Yea. LOL. I'm not even sure if a shark can eat a jellyfish but the whole idea of it is cool and funny. LOL. He's looking all smug but I'm pretty sure he's in for a surprise ;D.

omg this whole picture is really scary! I have a tremendous love/fascination/fear of ocean creatures, and this pic touches on all those feelings. *_* The coloring is really phenomenal-- I feel like I'm watching a twisted Discovery Channel, and the circle of life is about to take its toll on another victim, and I can't tear my eyes away. ;-; +fav!
:iconparaddox:
great work indeed...
