Description
A scene from Steve Alten's book Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror that I've been itching to draw since I read the book: the female megalodon attacking Maggie Taylor as she tries to film the albino leviathan. Clamping its jaws around the translucent shark tube she is diving in, but unable to crush the cage, the megalodon shakes Maggie around like a rag doll as her lover Budd Harris and her film crew watch helplessly. If only her crew hadn't tried pulling her in; maybe then she would have made it.A color rendition is in the works. More to follow (though whether it will be after or before my next set of wolf studies remains to be seen).

Ah, well I'm guessing it's pretty bloody almost like the deleted scene in the meg (movie) where there was going to be a half mangled corpse floating on the beach.

Well regardless, the blood lost with the slicing and stuff the drowning underwater, was simply just the cherry on top, I don't find drowning too horrific, but still a pretty gruesome death since it describes how the teeth are stabbing and lungs and stuff.

I didn't cry, but I still felt awful for Budd.

I only watched the movie so far and the near consumption of the tube was one of the best scenes. I was rooting for the shark of course but sadly these stories never have a happy end for the predator.

Read the book. It gets a lot more gruesome. And some scenes are from the shark's point of view.

Oh that is what I have been looking for. Thanks I think I will read it then. Everyone seems to neglect the pred's point of view.

Maybe we'll get something similar to the books in movie number 2.

I thought there was a scene like this in the movie, where the shark tries to swallow a diving pod.

Yes, but Suyin survived. Maggie does not survive in the first novel.

I really like the lineart you did here. 
Must've been a little difficult to get that tube right?
I never even knew that JAWS and MEG were originally novels, but it's because I hate every single shark movie out there. :/ ( But I love Sharkwater :-D )
I'm ok if you like to see some movies or read the books, but the main reason why so many movies of men eating sharks are made, is because of money. Hollywood knows that we love to satisfy our bloodlust, seeing people get killed by animated sharks, just like what we see in Jurrasic park.
It makes a lot of money and Hollywood doesn't care if the movie is terrible.
Again, I'm fine if you like some of them, but it's one of the main reason as to why sharks are so feared and hated.
Sorry for this rant, just wnated to get it off my chest. XD I just hate to see these amazing animals in pain. ;w;

I understand, but I must tell you the meg novels are worth reading, especially the expanded and revised version of the first. Also, the books, just for the record are science fiction, since Megalodon has been extinct for the last 2.5 million years, and could never inhabit deep water like in the novels. However, I should mention in the sixth novel, one of these sharks does end up being trained in a positive way by the main protagonist.
Also, on a separate note, the largest great white shark out there; deep blue, showed up in Oahu. A bunch of professional divers including shark conservationist and model Ocean Ramsey got to swim with her in open water.

I see.
I would like to make a story about Megladon one day, but I'll wait until scientists are more confident about how it looked like.
And I love Deep blue. c: That shark is so mesmerizing.

The general consensus is that megalodon looked like a monstrous great white, only chunkier and more robust (and probably with a proportionately broader snout), though The Meg's concept art team used a bit of porbeagle shark and sixgill sharks in addition to make it to keep it from looking too much like an oversize great white. I've even heard a few experts say it might have resembled a giant sand tiger (but given its diet, that's highly unlikely as it would need to have a fusiform body, like the great white does, to catch prey like whales which themselves could and can move quite fast).

Ok.
I also thought of adding a refrence to Megladon in one of my stories, but it won't be mentioned in the second one.
( have a third story planned.

The books are awesome. Definitely worth a read if you enjoy some spooky science fiction.
