Show Me Your Teeth! [link]SHARK WEEK IS TOMORROW (July 31, 2011)! Have fun watching "Great White Invasion" and learning why we must save these beautiful creatures!!!
(steps down off of soap box)
I can't believe I forgot all her battle armor....
If you look at her, she's more of a shark-centaur, her waist up being a girl, waist down a great white shark. Looking at a Great White's profile, I discovered their dorsal fin is behind their pectoral fins... So that's why you can't really see her dorsal fin in this picture. I'm ashamed I have been drawing sharks incorrectly all these years -_-;
If she was a more morphed human/shark, I suppose her arms would be her pectoral fins, leaving her dorsal fin to be above the small of her back. But I liked how her pectoral fins add more to her, not looking like a mermaid. What do you think?
For Those Who Care About This Original Character
Cordula is a generally shy and quiet girl, with the massive attack power of a great white shark. However, her personality keeps her from showing the power-side too often.
In the second game I played her in, she had a second personality that was a kleptomaniac, stealing single, expensive items while she was asleep (sleep-stealing?). Not sure why I gave her this personality tab, maybe to make her less nice
With the ocean and the moon having a natural relationship, I felt a "were-shark" theme was fitting. Like a typical werewolf, Cordula is forced from her human form to a true Great White Shark, under the full moon. She would suffocate if she was not in salt water, when the full moons hits. Between the two games I played her in, she has three forms: fully human, fully shark, and mer-shark (pictured above). Her mer-shark form is one she can become at anytime, whenever she wishes.
Cordula is also a vegetarian, which is a choice she forces upon herself. When I play her, she is usually paired with a male who was a vegetarian-sea type (penguin or koi fish). She tries to prove herself non-violent by being a vegetarian (since we all know sharks frenzy with the scent of blood).
^ and that I had as her personality trait years before Finding Nemo hit theaters, but I was cheering in my theater seat when the sharks appeared again, at the end of the film. I glad that the people of Pixar took a shot at giving sharks a positive spin.

I've had this character in my head for many, many years, but I had seen that image uploaded here on dA (somewhere 0.o) and it was neat to see the same idea in a realistic photo.
