Description The Poolshark cruises taverns nearly every night, feasting on a steady diet of barflies, lushes and lounge lizards. Rack 'em!

This is awesome! You could sell this to every bar that has a pool table in the world.

Yea, I should try to market it a little, and I'll give some thought to your suggestion on DA Prints. The fact is I dragged my feet so long getting this finished that I was happy just to put it behind me and move on to new projects.

I'll show it to some local pool halls

Like it, quite a bit. Nice work on the shark, and on the broken pool ball. ^^

Thanks Nikita, the shark is choking down the Eightball because his solids are gone... busting the striped ball just illustrates his ruthless gamesmanship

This is so awesome! This would make an awesome t-shirt or look really good hanging above your pool table (if you have one) The chomped ball is great! The wrinkles and scars on the sharks nose make it look almost realistic.

Great suggestion with T-shirts! Framed in a rec room was my original idea, not that I have one *shrugs*

Glad you like the shark, if you watch the linked animation you'll see the original shark design was a total FUBAR (1/3 tigershark, 1/3 someothershark, 1/3 mut) so Google-searched Great White reference photos were a lifesaver.

Thanks for another Larissa!

Oh you have no idea how welcome the word 'finished' sounds. This guppy swam over three years and 4 hard drives since I last worked on it. It feels good to do digital art again.

Yea, the 14 ball was fun. Thanks for the Star.

Jeez! THat long??? It sounds like my novel I bet you're super relieved it's done. Totally worth it in my opinion!

It may sound like a long time, but only if you've never been totally consumed by a really fun MMORPG . Seriously though, it was one of my most recent works-in-progress.

What is your novel about?

Starchasm In reply to Garv101 [2007-05-12 14:12:07 +0000 UTC]

Nah, I've never played a really fun MMORPG, just CoX

My novel is an urban fantasy tale set in post-Katrina New Orleans (changed the setting from London after I'd actually lived there).

That sounds like an interesting setting for a fantasy to unfold... what fantasy elements do you bring?
Finish it! I need some fresh reading material
