Here is an update from today's stream. Took a couple of ideas I liked and fleshed them out a bit more. Think I getting closer to a final design that I can use to make a cool illustration. let me know what one is your favourite!
wow!! Loving this!!
hey thanks!
Damn, that's cool!
And since you asked:
I like the HammerHead more in terms of design (the colors also seem more aquatic to me), but the Great White (I'd assume) does have more of that "wow factor". I think the HH's silhouette is more readable, with the only thing beating it being the sword handle on the GW. Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I like the HH.
Hey man!
Thats pretty cool! (The second I saw your work I thought of quitting. abandon all hope ;D)
But hey, while I am at it, I entered today, and posted my rough sketch too! Could you please give me some advice regarding design, proper presentation (decor of my artwork and sketches, because it looks blank and uninteresting compared to yours), and most importantly proper use of color, cause I always stick to monochrome, and if I dare to try to tap into colors, it turns out tasteless and uninteresting.
I am sorry to bother you, but I will use this opportunity to learn from professionals as much as I can!
Tough choices, I'll just say my 1st reaction to your question, hammer head.
I personally like 2 more. It has easier to read shapes. I think both are awesome though. But definitely 2 cause of the high value contrast and readability.
Number one is more interesting to me. Nice stuff I'm excited to see your progress
I love the hammerhead - more opportunity for unique shape design!

Hey !
Awesome design, I love the pirate theme so much.
Great illustration, we can really feel the strenght of your shark. The octopus is an amazing add to your illustration, he add more depth and the painting really more interesting with him and his funny face !
Keep going
I don't know how I haven't seen this yet but damn this is pretty impeccable! The sense of form is so nice. Some feedback I can offer though is that because the sun's out, maybe tinging the highlights with a touch of yellow to compliment the overall blue of the piece?
