Sorry, but I don't quiet get it...
Does a shark eater eat sharks? ^^
Or is it (more likely) a shark-like creature?

And idd, coolest mascot yet!

Yes, it eats sharks.

[Orchidaceae]

Hmm, making parodies on Deep Blue Sea or Jaws would be too obvious, eh?

Hmm, Samuel L. Jackson biting the sharks fin off :P

[Bl00dRedKnife]

I think the next C.O.W. should be Sound Producers. Or at least something like that...

[Zach]

That is one hot mascot!

I'll get the voting thread up tomorrow, there were a few more last minuters along with mine.

[Razac]

oo awesome... ty for picking one of my ideas :P

got the idea from star wars ep one when they r in that little sub and that huge fish comes up and and goes to eat them....but then u get an even bigger sea creature thing come up and eat that....theres always a bigger fish

I'm glad you're not old enough to vote for presidents/prime ministers.

Deciding after seeing one entry, rather discouraging for others, is it not?

[Razac]

hehe cool

im half way through mine now....i done it at a res of 3333x3333 i noticed that alot of digital artists draw their pics on a massive canvas then shrink it down....i can see why

[Razac]

Hostilisaur

Recently discovered in the dark depths of the ocean...they lay dormant for hundreds of years until its time to feed....within a matter of months the Hostilisaur wipe out half of the earths population of great white sharks, then return to their deep sleep until the next feeding frenzy.

Hehe, quality. The shark looks great

[fuzz]

wow, 3 quality entries already :)

[EsMatiCSounDs]

Wow Razac thats one awsome pic you got there!

[EsMatiCSounDs]

Btw Razac! what program did you make that picture in ?

[Zach]

WIP
I think I need to put a stronger light source in there, seems too bland at the moment, also need more detail, probably scales and some veins..

[Re2deemer]

Eh, Razac is just being Razac....:)

I dunno about the stronger light source, Zach, it looks like it has enough contrast....You're still gonna make the BG blue, right? Purple doesn't match sea much...

[DieterTheuns]

Razac... give others a chance X)
Your one rocks so much that even rocking is crying...

I think I'm not posting anything ^^

[Razac]

ok...everything i do is made in photoshop and yes i use a tablet there u go : )

and zach....i think your right about it needing a stronger light source.....because i see a shadow in there im guessing its on the sea floor.....u could ad like an angler fish head light or somthing :)

also i find using colour balance helps alot image--> adjustments its in tehre somewhere

i find that what ever pic im doing....moving the top 2 sliders an inch to the left gives my pic a nice realistic colour tone...obviously its not exactly an ince and some experimentation is needed....but see what u can come up with

[Razac]

sorry...just thought i show the scale i worked at....first time ever i painted something bigger than the size it was going to be....and i must say adding detail etc is alot easier that way

[Razac]

sorry final final version now....just added a few more little details and changed the colour slightly

[TarThoron]

You should upload the full size version somewhere.
