Description Well, I finally finished this!
It took me all night and morning... oh man I'm gonna be *SO* sick tomorrow (or later today that is...)
Bah, work...

Anyhow, this is Wanizame, or Wani for short (Several online sources say "wanizame" means "shark" in Japanese, but I can't seem to find it in any of the dictionaries I have at home, so we'll just hope, hey? Wani's a cute name either way, anyway! Actually, I think "wani" by itself means "Crocodile" but meh! His full name is Wanizame, so!)
My ref sheet SUCKS, and his chara/design sucks, but I've been working on him so long he's kinda grown on me

I can't color for crap
He's SUPPOSED to have a white belly but it just looks like really light shading...

Let's see... he's male, and a shark anthro, obviously. He isn't much for clothes. As you can see, his taste in what little he does wear is a bit... uh.. lacking.
He's straight, sexual orientation-wise, but he's a real big loner and tends to stay away from the dating/mating scenes.
He has/likes his friends though
He's particularly shy. Oh, he has a pair of goggles, which he uses to go on land (he fills them with water to wear, since his eyes are sensitive and dry out quickly.) He'll probably have some fin-piercings as well as other things eventually, but I was trying to hurry and get this done.
He considers his little fishbone tailcharm as good luck, but nobody knows why, and whether it really brings him any luck is questionable.
He's particularly curious about birds, and wishes he could fly.
He can assume full-shark form, but his parents were killed in their shark forms by humans and he's very scared about being in that form for that reason. He has a shed tooth from each of them somewhere (might add them to the fishbone charm) that he also considers good luck.

Uhh, I probably forgot something, and this really sucks cause it's like 7 AM in the morning
Anyhow, I just used the base colors instead of the shading colors as well for the color key. I might change/add this later when I am more awake and functional, so bear with me!

More than awesome, really. Even though you think its bad, I fell in love with it right away. <3333 I think he's just the right amount of both! And I love his hair and skin color. And his outfit! Hooottt.... -ahem- Adore the little fishbone charm as well. All in all, I think his design rocks! Welcome to the club! ^^

purplelemon In reply to chillywilly101 [2006-10-17 22:06:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I'm not completely happy with the character/design, but he has grown on me quite a bit (working on something for 5 hours'll do that to ya I guess!)
I just wanted to get it done, even though I was tired hehe

He's kinda intricate so I might get lazy LOL
But I hope to do some more!
I want to give him more accessories but didn't have the time or brains last night to do em LOL

i think hes sexy
very sexy indeed

yeah your rite he does look like his belly is just shaded

i cant colour either your pretty good though

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

purplelemon In reply to Shad0wMistress [2006-10-17 16:28:57 +0000 UTC]

Well, it comes down to the problem of it looking too sharp and out of place... though I could probably have done it slightly darker at spots.
But then also I could either have not shaded the rest .... but then it would be stupid looking too!
Grrr I probably should have made him not-gray LOL
