An illustration of a blue shark curiously approaching a supernatural entity that looks like a combination of a star and a jellyfish shimmering in many colors.
A symbolic illustration of a human figure with long, wavy hair, cradling a little shark sleeping in its arms. There are small star symbols and a moon.
Tiago: Faltou o ensaio por quê, hein? Roberto: Hehe... Cabacei! Isquici de carregá o celula à noite... Aí o alarme num tocô. Diz ele com uma expressão envergonhada. Tiago: Mas... você não tinha um relógio despertador? Roberto: Isquici de dá corda... Tiago: Não tinha marcado no calendário? Roberto: Isquici também... Tiago: E as notas adesivas? Roberto: É... Tiago: "Suspira", Mas é um tonho da silva mesmo, né? Só não esqueceu as barbatanas porque tão grudadas no corpo! Roberto: Hehe... Tiago: Tá tranquilo, ninguém começou o ensaio ainda. Diz ele com uma expressão tranquila. Roberto: Aww... Esperaram por mim? Diz ele com uma expressão cheia de expectativas. Tiago: Todo mundo apostou que você ia esquecer! Diz ele com uma expressão resignante. Robero faz uma expressão de aborrecido com simbolo de três pontos sobre a cabeça. Tiago: Vamo logo, tonhão! Ele diz isso enquanto se vira, chamando o amigo para acompanha-lo. Roberto comemora por não ter perdido o ensaio, gritando alegremente: Heee!
Tiago: Why'd you miss rehearsal, huh? Roberto: Heh, I goofed... I forgot to charge my phone overnight... So... the alarm never went off! He says with an embarrassed expression. Tiago: But... don't you have an alarm clock? Roberto: Forgot to wind it up... Tiago: And marking it on the calendar? Roberto: Forgot that too... Tiago: Sticky Notes? Roberto: Uh... Tiago: "Sigh", You're such an airhead, aren't ya? Good thing your fins are attached... You'd forget those too. Roberto: Hehe... Tiago: It's fine! Nobody's started rehearsing yet. He says with a relieved expression. Roberto: Aww... did y'all wait for me? He says it with an expectant expression. Tiago: Everyone bet you'd forget. He says with an expression of resignation. Roberto makes an annoyed expression with a three-dot symbol above its head. Tiago: C'mon,big shork! He says this as he turns around, calling his friend to join him. Meanwhile, Roberto celebrates that he will be able to do the rehearsal, shouting joyfully: Yay!
A polaroid photograph recording Aria's first birthday with her new friends Tiago and Roberto. Probably pasted into a photo album with some cute stickers related to the celebration theme. Roberto is a great hammerhead shark, wearing a white shirt with a print that resembles a simplified retro beach scene, blue pants, black boots and a pink jacket tied around his waist, he has a bracelet with a star as a pendant. Tiago is a tiger shark, wearing a cap, a red and yellow jacket with small star details on the strings, dark pants and white shoes. Aria is a zebra shark, she is between her two friends, dressed in blue overalls, a yellow striped shirt and yellow shoes, she is holding two balloons, one in the shape of a fish and the other in the shape of a star. The symbol of the star is present in the scene, as it is the symbol that represents the essence of Aria, specifically related to the major arcana "The Star" of the Tarot.
An illustration of my three sharkfolk OCs, Roberto, Tiago, and Aria, interacting while eating at a diner. The scene shows the three sitting at a table in a diner called "Fintastic Snacks." Roberto, the great hammerhead shark, is sitting next to Aria, holding a drink while listening attentively to what Tiago is saying. Aria, the zebra shark, beside him, is also just observing curiously, while holding a dessert spoon. Tiago, the tiger shark, is sitting on the other side of the table, saying something that sparks the interest of his friends, while holding a breaded fried fish. Next to him is a whale shark-shaped bag. On the table, there are two triangular salmon sandwiches, a portion of breaded fried fish, and what appears to be a blue ice cream with crunchy sprinkles. Around them are plant pots, a sign with the diner's mascot, a small smiling blacktip reef shark wearing a chef's hat, holding a tray of snacks. There's also a gacha machine.
Reference sheet illustration of my three sharkfolk characters: Aria Almarina, Tiago Tigrado, and Roberto Martiello. Aria is a short zebra shark with yellow skin covered in purple spots. She wears blue dungarees over a white shirt with pink stripes and yellow sandals. She wears a bracelet with a star pendant on her arm. Tiago is a medium-sized tiger shark with blue skin and blue and pink stripes. He wears a cap, a white shirt printed with an allegorical symbol of the sign of Cancer, black trousers and a red jacket with a yellow checkered pattern tied at the waist. He wears white trainers and a colourful costume jewellery necklace. Roberto is a large hammerhead shark of tall stature, with pink skin tattooed with representations of stars, tides and a misty moon. He has a blue piercing below his eyes and wears a black shirt with a trilunar symbol. He wears white jeans torn at the knees, held up by a blue belt with a yellow buckle. He is wearing black boots with yellow laces.
A short test animation of my sharkfolk characters talking: With a disgruntled expression and hands on his hips, Tiago the tiger shark is saying to Roberto: You forgot about rehearsal, huh? And Roberto, who is a little cornered, replies: Heh, I goofed! I forgot to charge my cell phone last night... so the alarm didn't go off.
A simple process animation of the sketch I made of a background test for a comic I'm trying to create about a sharkfolk world. Drawn over a 3D model.
A second sketch I made of a background test for a comic I'm trying to create about a sharkfolk world. Drawn over a 3D model. With a message in the upper left corner saying: "Two hours later...". The scene shows Roberto, the hammerhead shark, calling his friend Tiago, the tiger shark, on his flip phone, saying: "Dude, I got lost...". He got lost in the hall of Sete Ondas, the residential complex that is his new home, which he still hasn't gotten used to, even though he's lived there for 10 years. In a speech bubble above, Tiago is shown with an annoyed and impatient expression. The setting is the North Hall, located between the Amber and Coral towers. The place has an indoor lake and a circular garden with a large circular hole in the ceiling through which light enters, with palm trees and many tropical plants. There is a curved covered walkway around the indoor lake and a ramp that leads to the upper floor to the Cerise Gallery. The door to the Amber Tower on the left has diamond-shaped details, while the door to the Coral Tower on the right has sinuous wave details.
A sketch I made of a background test for a comic I'm trying to create about a sharkfolk world. Drawn over a 3D model. The scene takes place in the courtyard of the residential apartment complex where Roberto and Tiago live, called The Seven Waves. This courtyard has winding, wave-like paths with large cylindrical columns, an internal garden, and lakes crossed by wooden and tiled walkways. There's a large tropical garden at the top. There's a covering over the paths made of a transparent material in rainbow colors, as well as a structure with colorful, sinuous windows. In a rest area with a large semicircular bench, Tiago, the tiger shark, sits with a suspicious expression, listening to what his friend Roberto, the hammerhead shark, is saying. Curious about humans, Roberto wonders: Do humans really eat plastic?

A simple diagram showing the Seven Waves Towers, home of my sharkfolk characters. Based on a print of the building's 3D model. The overall appearance of the residential complex, in summary, is: Three cylindrical towers with balconies full of plants, each tower colored pink, yellow, and blue. There is a large rooftop garden connecting the three towers at the top, with a walkway covered in a translucent material forming seven waves, each colored with seven colors. The ground floor is a large, two-story, half-moon shaped structure with a large garden on top, featuring many circular openings in the roof containing patios and gardens inside. At the front of the ground floor is a tall, flowery, disc-shaped structure serving as a seaside lookout point. The names of the locations described in the diagram are: Highgarden Terrace. Coral Tower. Amber Tower. Cerulean Tower. Rose Lobby. Yellow Lobby. Blue Lobby. South Hall. North Hall. Cerise Gallery. Turquoise Gallery. Rainbow Gallery. Colortrail Courtyard. Communal Garden. Prisma Pavilion. There are small chibi drawings of Roberto and Tiago pointing to where they live. Roberto is pointing to the Coral Tower, saying he lives on the 18th floor. While Tiago is pointing to the Cerúlia Tower, saying he lives on the 19th floor.
3D model of a residential building composed of three cylindrical towers of 22 stories with many plants on the balconies. There is a large garden on a suspended rooftop connecting the three towers, with a seven-wave shaped roof made of colored glass in seven colors. On the ground floor there is a large disc-shaped structure with a suspended garden and a disc-shaped structure with a flower at the front, probably a restaurant.
An illustration depicting an urban scene by my sharkfolk in downtown Tidebay. The illustration was created by drawing over 3D models of the city in a chosen scene that shows some buildings in a perspective angle viewed from below. There are several sharkfolk walking around the scene following their daily routines. From left to right, there's a whale shark wearing a striped shirt and a scarf around its neck; a common reef shark holding a book or folder while wearing a peplum top with puffed sleeves; a hammerhead shark carrying a bag and talking to someone on a flip phone while wearing a formal long-sleeved shirt with a floral print, a belt, and a large jewelry necklace; a copper shark holding folders or books while waving to another friend next to a nurse shark, both wearing casual clothes; and finally, another reef shark waving back to its approaching friend, wearing an off-the-shoulder puffed-sleeved top with a zigzag pattern along with a cropped top and bracelets with large jewelry. Each building has its own unique shape and personality, with an architecture reminiscent of a mixture of styles such as Art Deco and Googie, in pastel colors of pink, blue and yellow and shades of white and cyan: The most prominent buildings are: A circular building with yellow tiles and a rooftop garden. A cylindrical building with blue tiles, a crown-like structure at the top, a straight structure shaped like a dorsal fin, and right in the center, a large clock tower with pink tiles and shapes reminiscent of splashes of water. There is plenty of tropical vegetation, large trees, palm trees, and gardens scattered throughout the scene or on the rooftops of the buildings; there are two spherical lampposts. Some seagulls are flying between the buildings. A passenger plane crosses the open, cloudless blue sky.
Promotional art I created for the game Lelu. The illustration depicts Lelu, a toy resembling a little duck with a spherical body and a wind-up key on its head, holding a screwdriver. He is fleeing from a horde of enemies right behind him, all of which are toys of various kinds, such as a mole that throws rocks, a monkey with plates, a small mouse, a snake with a spherical body, a gachapon robot, and a large, menacing king right behind them. The setting is the interior of an apparently abandoned toy factory, with a metal floor, spikes, and dirt with small weeds. There are cranes in the background and a glass roof through which sunlight illuminates the scene. The artwork is in monochromatic shades of black, white, and gray, with a texture of small dots reminiscent of comic book printing.

A brief animation sketch to test the effect of movement in the water after the rocket launches. The setting is a small space launch site designed as an isometric diorama, featuring a curved runway leading toward the sea surface that propels the rocket out of the water. There is a control tower with an antenna, where a little shark scientist watches the launch. Meanwhile, a group of enthusiastic little sharks await the launch and celebrate the successful takeoff. There is a three-second countdown panel. Seaweed and coral reefs adorn the setting.

An illustration depicting my sharkfolk OCs Roberto and Tiago resting in a beach square on a sunny day. Roberto, a great hammerhead shark with pink skin, is wearing sportswear, a white shirt with a retro print, blue shorts, and athletic shoes, offering a colorful spiral-shaped popsicle to his friend Tiago, a tiger shark with bluish-lilac skin who is also wearing sportswear, but in his case, a red shirt with a sun-like print, blue shorts, cap and shoes. He is cheerful and surprised by his friend's offering. Next to him are a water bottle and a skateboard. They are resting under the shade of a large tree, where there are benches and planters typical of a coastal area called "Praia da Restinga" (Restinga Beach), named for the various coastal flowers growing in the sand. Sunlight streams through the tree, creating an opalescent effect of light and color. Beside them are a lamppost and a pair of palm trees nearby. In the background, the skyline of downtown of Tidebay city can be seen, with its characteristic pastel-colored buildings. The clouds in the sky appear to form waves.
Early, unfinished sketches. The scene depicts Sharpedo Tide and Mantine Wavenie on a sightseeing trip to the ancient ruins of a civilization that worshipped Sharpedos. They are posing for an ancient Sharpedo statue shaded by tropical plants, with a waterfall emerging from the ruins in the background, while Remoraid Ripple prepares to take a photograph of them.
A photo of the old artbook called "Sleeping Shark Dreams" that I made with the help of a friend from Japan. The book is rectangular, with a blue cover and a gold illustration of a little shark sleeping on a cushion and covered with a blanket, while a stellar presence hovers above it.
Illustration I made for a Pokémon Gijinka zine, where we create humanoid or anthropomorphized versions of Pokémon. I drew a Remoraid named Ripple, wearing a small scarf tied around its neck. A Mantine named Wavenie, wearing a small tropical dress with a hibiscus flower on its head. And a Sharkpedo named Tide, wearing shorts, a striped sleeveless shirt, a scarf tied around its neck, and holding a fishing rod.

A fragment of an artwork. Roberto, a great hammerhead shark, is offering an popsicle to his friend Tiago, a tiger shark, while they rest in the shade of a tree in a park near a beach with coastal gardens. In the distance, a pair of palm trees and the skyline of the Tidebay city can be seen.
A photo that became a funny meme of a participant on the Brazilian Big Brother followed by the caption: "Gustavo holds his own breast while reflecting in silence." They wrote "breast" instead of "chest" to make it funny.
An illustration of Roberto, a hammerhead sharkfolk, allegorizing a humorous image of a Big Brother contestant sitting, clutching his chest while silently reflecting. Roberto is in the same pose on a pouf, looking thoughtful, while holding a drink.

An attempt to illustrate four expressions of Roberto. In the first, he has a curious, uncertain expression with his left hand on his chest. In the second, he is looking sideways with a neutral expression, his index finger touching his chin. In the third, he has a silly, smiling expression, as if apologizing for something, with his right hand behind his head and his left hand with an open palm. In the fourth, he looks indignant and annoyed about something, shrugging his shoulders.
Illustration showing a human redesign of my three sharkfolk characters Aria, Tiago, and Roberto. Aria is depicted as a short woman with curly hair and possibly Afro-Brazilian descent. She wears a headband, purple shorts, a yellow off-the-shoulder top, and Velcro shoes. She carries a bag adorned with pins, a virtual pet in the shape of a fish attached to her waist, and holds a large cup of bubble tea. Around her neck, she wears a necklace with a star pendant. Tiago appears as a man of average height, with short, spiky hair, possibly of Japanese-Brazilian descent. He wears a cap, red cargo shorts, a white shirt printed with a large wave hitting a lighthouse under a sun in the background, a colourful jewellery necklace and trainers. On his back, he carries a black backpack. Roberto is depicted as a tall man with short, wavy hair, a sparse beard and moustache, possibly of Italian-Brazilian descent. He wears a black shirt printed with the pyramids of Giza under a large moon, blue jeans torn at the knees and black boots. He has a pink jacket tied around his waist.

An idea I had was to make my sharks' room with Animal Crossing that reflects their personality. This would be Roberto's room! In a nutshell, Roberto likes to cook, is talented with acoustic instruments and is fascinated with esotericism!
