Description Birthday gift for . The idea of her reef shark OC, Jack [link] , as an orca has been talked about in passing. But when it came down to considering possibilities for what I might paint, this is what I came up with. Hope it's to your approval, L.

This would be the younger iteration of his design, yes.

But I forgot to add black marks to the tips of his pectoral fins. EDIT: found a way to add them

Thank you. Honestly, I was kinda at a loss for what to do with the background on this one. But considering what subject it was I wanted to show off, ultimately, it didn't have to be anything fancy and distracting.

Jack: I HAVE BEEN CURSED!

Once the idea came to me, I had to do it.

You're welcome. I'll get around to an edit sometime today, and add the forgotten tips. Looking at this version, it needs a little more detail. The markings from the head back are kinda bland.

Updated. That actually took much less time than I thought it would.

And looking at this now, it's got me wondering what his adult form of this design would look like.

Oh hey I've been meaning to read her comic is it any good? I really liked the art style and I recognized this guy right away. You really did a great orcafication of him. Yeah that's a word now.

Thank you.

At the time I read it, I thought it was pretty good, and definitely one-of-a-kind in that sharks are the primary characters throughout. The JTBS group has a folder dedicated to just the pages of the comic itself: [link]

I like that it features sharks so that intrigued me. I just haven't found the time to read it. It's also why I haven't been able to RP with you. I didn't blow you off by any means but I don't have a stable internet connection at the moment. :<

Yeah, at 300+ pages, it's a pretty long read.

No worries. I can totally sympathize with the lack of reliable internet. Even now, with my family's phone bill, we may soon have to downgrade to tracker phones, and I can't say whether my internet access will stay the same in the next few months.

We'll see. If it does happen, I'll try to give enough notice ahead of time to get RP and art-related things in order.
