SHARKWEEK: Great Hammerhead
Kickin' off Shark Week with a Great Hammerhead! This is for devlexuswolf's Shark Week Sketch Jam on DA.
I probably haven't drawn a hammerhead since I was a little kid. I used to have a bit of an obsession with them thanks to the cover of Goosebumps: Deep Trouble. Hated the story, but loved the shark on the cover.
Great Hammerheads are considered endangered, largely due to over-fishing because it's sought after for its large fins--desirable for shark fin soup.

Best sharks right here! Excellent job portraying one so awesomely! :D
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the book is called Deep Trouble! I remember reading those stories - frightened the life out of me as a kid. D:
But aaahh you make sharks look even cooler. ;w; The colours in this look amazing!

AHAH, wow I don't know why I made that typo! Thanks for pointing it out, though! Hm, I think the only Goosebumps story to ever freak me out was Night of the Living Dummy.
And thank you! :3 I'm not very good with browns but I LOVE how brown and pink go together.

Oh nevermind! Ahaha, no need to thank me! :'D
Really? All of them creeped me out! ;___;
Mmhh yes! They look lovely together! *U*

AFKAFJaf hammerheads are the best sharks ever. And the rusty orange-colored ones are even better. (Seriously, I've been thinking about them a lot because I made [url=http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5973055]a character[/b] that is part hammerhead.)
Anyway. Insta-fav, even if I don't usually like hot pink.

They are the derpiest looking things, but I love 'em to death. I just wish I could make a hammerhead anthro that didn't look goofy as hell, ahaha.
AND MOANA IS ADORBS BTW.

Yeah, that's a problem I was having with her, actually. XD So I sort of...decided she was part mako (makos are awesome-looking too; THEIR TEEEEEEETH) so she could have a slightly more, er...normal face.
I AM GLAD YOU THINK SO. You are like...SHARK PERSON or something.

It's really horrible how sharks are slaughtered and how nobody care because they are feared. You really captured the grace in the move and I like the "splatch" effect beyond it!
It is :C Seems a lot of my favorite animals that are in plight, like Gharials, are ignored simply because they're not ~PWECIOUS WITTLE PANDAS~ or something. I think people are becoming more aware of shark finning and how awful it is, though, so that's good. Really good.
And thank you :3

WHAT IT'S SHARK WEEK
Hammerheads have such an awkward shape, but you nailed this one! Great work- I'm also a fan of the brown and pink combo here :>

I just plopped on a scratchy metal texture and set it to overlay. I think I messed with the levels a bit too, but uh... voila? It's pretty easy :3 If you need help with textures or anything, you can note me and I'll try to help.
I love the texture in the pink in the background. Sharks have to be some of the coolest creatures ever! <3
these textures o3o
the drawing is really good, dk why, I get a jet set vibe from this, like you'd be tagging this somewhere.

Nice tags, and great Hammerhead! Don't see too many of those drawn 'round here, so TY for such a lively piece :D
You are so close to sharks that they should call you Squeedge Of The Sharks
YES! Happeh Shark week everybody! [has waited for this week all year]
Mmmmm, hammerheads... My favoritest shark evar! ^0^ I love hammerheads. I'd want to pet their noses if they wouldn't take my arm off. lol
Ugh.I don't know what it is with freaking sea over-fishing but it needs to stop.So many animals nowadays are getting endangered just for a "delicacy". These are animals we need to live in harmony with to maintain the balance of nature.If we don't maintain that balance,Things usually don't go that well in the long run.
I think all animals are beautiful in their own way,Even if they are predators.I hope that we can stop this overfishing of them <3

My best friend and I were JUST talking about that book last night! That's a big reason why hammerheads are my favorite too! Great job, it's so cute! :3
You should consider make a T-shirt out of that. On a black background please? Pretty please? : D
I still don't see how people are afraid of EVERY shark they see... I end up swimming next to them all the time.
It's really messed up down here in Florida... The tourist morons always go screaming in terror "IT'S A SHARK, OMFG! KILL IT!" It pisses me off to no end. ;~; Sharks don't usually attack people unless they're a particularly aggressive species. Sharks just tend to bite or nip at things... they have no hands or anything else to really investigate, so I don't blame them.
