Description
just the prelimenary sketch that I tried to sculpt (the result can be found here: [link] ) but then the sculpt took its own path, and eventually resulted into this: [link]Related content

I've never really noticed, but you're actually really good at perspective-drawing!

This looks pretty awesome. It's like a convergent evolutionary analogue of a shark. He has so many jaws, he can chew anything but himself.

I see what you mean, but there's some tiny sharks. Looks like some of those predators are related to this guy though.

yes you're right, there are some small sharks too, but when you say shark, I see the great white. that's just how it is XD
And yes, the creatures are supposed to look like they're related to each other.

i could just see it jumping out of the water and tearing one of thosse flying squids in half XD nom nom nom
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
remember. it's small. and those "squids" heavily rely on buoyancy and can be up to several meters long.

oh well then a school of blenderjaws xD how big would the "squids" be then 6-7 feet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the smallest ones. yes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
dude I'm thinking they could be somewhere around 10 m long for the largest ones!

Woah what happend there?

well like I said before, buoyant animals need to be big, but much of the volume are hydrogen-filled bags
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah i was just in awe thinking about it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, according to my latest calculation, a bag with a volume of roughly 2.5 m cubed (roughly equals to a 1 m radius sphere) could lift a load of 3 kg, so they're going to have to be big. But being light means being fast.

Well youve always put a lot of thaught into youre creatures this is a kindo related topic but last night i was siting down drawing and then i thaught how the fuck do doplhins or whales sleep without drowning? So i guess what im trying to ask is how would theese critter sleep and also how do marine mammals sleep?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well they don't ever fully sleep. they are near the surface throughout the night and only sleep with only one half of their brain actually sleeping, the other half is fully alert and after a few hours, the active half of brain falls asleep and the other half is taking care of everything. but I guess it could be done automatically, your heart beats whether you are awake or not, so they could have some similar mechanism for breathing. they could be asleep but would unconsciously take care of oxygen content in their blood stream and breathe when necessary without quote - end quote waking up.
There are many examples of this, not even you are ever fully asleep, our "safeguard sense" that recieves and processes information even during we are asleep is hearing. it's also unconscious, but it can wake us up when there is a threat of danger
This animal could have something similar, only waking up to inhale fresh air, but it would be instinctively protected from drowning.
Or it could "hibernate" in the night period, breathe in before falling asleep and taking advantage of the slowed down metabolism, making the "lungful" of air sufficient to supply the body at night.
