#Sharktober Day 15 : Cowboy Shark!

Posting this early bc I have events tomorrow :D weirdly my favorite part of this wasn’t the shark but the longhorn cowfish! They’re such interesting looking fish, almost alien-like! Oh! And I got my pen in today so that’s awesome!!

#Sharktober2025 #art #sharks

A silky shark cowboy riding a longhorn cowfish with a lasso in hand! Text at the bottom reads, “Longhorn Cowfish & Silky Shark.”

😂 true!! I did end up coming up with a design that I think is pretty entertaining so we’ll see how it looks tomorrow 😆

King Sock | Comms Open! @sockandcrownart.bsky.social · 1d

Still drawing with my fingers btw! I’m trying to learn more tricks on Procreate and that’s going well so far! My Apple Pen is supposed to get here tomorrow so we’ll see what I can do with it! :D

#Sharktober Day 13 : Shark Vs. Mechashark!!

So I took this as more of an and/or question so chose Mechashark and made a mechanical bull-shark. I then realized that the next prompt is cowboy shark and this would’ve been so good for that 😭 oh well! He’s still a cutie <3

#Sharktober2025 #art #sharks

A mechanical bull-shark surrounded by pillows, cigarette buds and a spilled Pitt soda. Text in the bottom left of the screen reads, “Day 13: Shark Vs. Mechashark” while text over the saddle of the shark reads, “Bull shark”.

Felttttt. Though mine acts up more in the summer because of the heat, I still have to use ultra-moisturizing soap in the winter 😔

King Sock | Comms Open! @sockandcrownart.bsky.social · 1d

As someone that’s only ever used Gimp their entire digital art journey, to then switch to Procreate??? Heaven bro. Just pure heaven. Like I didnt know what I was missing until I had it. And I am now never letting it go

#Sharktober Day 11 : Frutiger Aero

I had no clue what to do 🥲 I decided to mimic those fake aquariums but I’m a little disappointed how it came out. In my defense, I used this to test out Procreate but I don’t have my pen yet so I did the whole thing with fingers 🙃

#Sharktober2025 #art #sharks

My take on the frutiger aero aesthetic, in the form of a tiger shark, floating on a parallel to the classic Windows computer background. Text around the sharks head reads, “Day 11 : Frutiger Aero

I also got my Stickii pack on the same day which is awesome, I’ve been wanting to try them out since I saw a YouTuber I love review them! So needlessly to say I’m absolutely floating with happiness and covered in stickers rn 😭🩵

Screaming over these sticker sheets from @requinoesis.bsky.social! I’ve been eyeing these for awhileeee but when I decided I was gonna do a shark theme for my October spread in my journal in honor of #Sharktober, I knew it was time! These designs are so so beautiful, I can’t wait to use them omg 🩵🦈

Two beautiful shark sticker packs laying on an open notebook.

#Sharktober Day 9 : Angel Shark 😇

So, I know there is actually an angel shark but when I looked up refs, I found an image of a scalloped hammerhead in this really cool ocean lighting and I thought, yep that's my angel! I later found out they're endangered due to fin trade :(

#sharktober2025 #art

A scalloped hammerhead shark floats in the sky as beams of golden light and heavenly halos surround him and his head. Around the halo is text that reads, "Day 9 : Angel Shark", and underneath the belly of the shark is more text that reads, "Scalloped Hammerhead".

Here is what my workplace looks like after I finish a sculpture and don’t clean up. Also the steps on character over the process of building them after work.

My work plate covered in tools and scrap steel.

Here is the armor on my character but no leather.

Here is just the legs and torso two days ago

#Sharktober Day 7 : Tropical Shark!!

I decided on Mr. Shark from the movie The Bad Guys! He's taking a bit of a vacation and enjoying his lounge time! I'm trying to be gentle on myself with these and trying to keep them simple :)

#art #sharktober2025 #sharks

#Sharktober2025 Day 5 : Fruit Shark!

Of course, I had to do the lemon shark!! He got stuck in a glass of sweet tea so he's a little sour right now but he's a sweetheart!!

Today’s Sharktober post will be late! I’m hitting up some craft stores today so I won’t be home to do art ;-; keep my wallet in your thoughts because there’s so much stationary I need to stock up on lol

King Sock | Comms Open! @sockandcrownart.bsky.social · 10d

Pfft oh yeah! Indecisive is a heck of a thing

:)) I am! Thank you for asking <3

King Sock | Comms Open! @sockandcrownart.bsky.social · 10d

Ay!! That’s an awesome take :D I definitely agree I think the only con would be figuring out what to do!

Also hiiii, hope you’re well :)

Question for the #artists taking comms atm!!

If you had someone commission you for a piece and they tell you to draw whatever you want.
They love your art style and they just want you to have fun and draw anything! Even your oc or whatever you’re obsessed with!

Would you do it? And why/why not?

#Sharktober2025 Day 3: Long Shark!!

I attempted to do a mix between great white shark and Murray eel!! I think it turned out well, one of my favorite ones to draw

#art #sharktober #sharks

My take on what a Murray eel mixed with a great white shark would look like, swimming against a circular ocean backdrop with the text, “Day 3 : Long Shark” “Murray Eel & Great White.

(shhh, I didn't forget it was the 1st...You did!)

Sharktober Day 1 : Flower Shark! I based this lil guy on a whale shark! I love sharks but I'm bad at anatomy, so I apologize if he's a lil silly! This isn't my favorite design, but I love his lil :0 face

#Sharktober2025 #Sharktober #art #shark

An especially floral-themed whale shark swimming in a round ocean background framed by white space with text that reads, "Day 1 : Flower Shark."

Not a new sentiment but I am continuously reminded that we were not meant to deal with this much toxic bullshit 24/7 from every level of existence
