Nice work ! :o No need to learn to swim, then.
And what do you think about this one, from a T-shirt design.
Er. That's a French play-on-words, about "mer" (=sea) and "mère" (=mother) as the French title of the film "Jaws" was "Les dents de la mer".
Ooops, sorry.

Nice. I use shark fins in the wake to show hull damage in Limeys & Slimeys.

nice work, i really like that

Did you run Limeys & Slimeys games in 15mm at DragonFlight around 1999/2000/2001? If you did, pretty sure I played in at least one of your games!
SI, great shark fins, I think I know what I'll be doing with the next blob of leftover putty I have. Quick and entertaining little pieces.
-
the fins are great, and the face also! :)
great work indeed!

Woah, thats, to say the least, really nasty and scary! I got to admit that I am a bit afraid of sharks, wich might be a bit strange considering the fact that I live in Sweden, but there you go, why bother with logics :S
Anyway, these are really nice, and I would love a few of them! :D
-
Very nice work.
A slight critique; the pose of the sharks head very vertical (like its just charged a seal [or surfer!] our of the water), although that may simply be due to the gape of the jaw?
I wonder how it might look if you angled it slightly forward?

Brings back memories of a game I ran a very long time ago in 1:1200 that was a whale hunting game and included shark fins and whale tails and whale heads, etc. Found a use for those tiny little boats that come with the ships besides glueing them in place.
Nice work but I had the same thought about the verticality of the Jaws but understand the reasoning.
I often wonder if I was the inspiration for so many of the fins we see these days since I'd never heard of or seen anyone doing it before I did. No doubt someone will burst my bubble with hard evidence of it being done before I was born. :'(
lol

Terrific stuff, still sending shivers down my spine. :o

Great idea, that shark is very like the movie - but that poor bloke is going to need a bigger boat!

Me, too! I've always wondered what "fear of sharks" was officially called (such as arachnophobia = fear of spiders). I just googled it and apparently it is galeophobia. I also suffer from it. And my fear has little logic, either. I live in landbound Ohio -- far from the coastlines of the United States.
One weird thing about my phobia, though. I can get in the water and swim out to shark depth (one meter or so) if someone is with me. I guess my mind mentally calculates and gives me a 50/50 chance of the shark eating the other person instead of me!!! I am incapable of swimming alone in the ocean, though. I just can't force myself to do it!
Hmm...sorry about the threadjack!

Great idea as well as execution.
Now let's see them painted!

Oh yes. I suffer of dentist-phobia, and I understand now why I feel more secure when another person waits with me at the dentist's office: my mind calculates that there is a 50/50 chance of the dentist attacking the other person instead of me!

Me neither, and I live inside Stockholm, its sweetwater here :S Even when super drunk and swimming I get that creepy feeling, and we allways used to go swim and drink just where I live.
I love the pose of the shark, I just got a picture in the mail of one with that exact pose, my friends do that, send me pictures of sharks, postcards, buy me books about sharks when its my birthday, sign me up and pay for Shark Conserving Bla Bla... they even got a shark tagged with my name for my 30th birthday, go figure. Its silly and I wish they would stop it :-P

Now how bad would they feel if you were actually eaten by the shark with your name on it...! Oops, sorry, that probably doesn't help.
Honestly, I'm the same way. I can actually sit there and float in a pool and get my imagination cranked up and figure out some way for a shark to be in that pool and cruising towards me...jaws wide open...yaagh!

I have heard that sharks will circle a human swimmer for 5 minutes before attacking and eating them.
It seems they have learned humans taste better without all that s*** inside them. lol

I once had to fight a sharydra (half shark, half hydra). Soo many teeth, I killed it with a rusty crane hook and a baseball bat and now keep one of its young as a pet.
On another note shark week starts on discovery channel in a week or so!

Much thanks, Patrice! My French is non-existent at best, and I'm grateful for any polish.
I will repeat the bottom line that for all of folks in the water, all the sharks in the water, the number of incidents are quite small, and usually a bite, and the shark realizes we're not all that tasty. ;->=
No consolation to the one who's bit, mind you. And, yes, they still creep the heck out of me, too.
I'm reminded of the old Survive game, where sharks were just fins. Brits had a version, Escape from Atlantis, which seems to have arrived repackaged here in the colonies. Might be worth a further update.

Very cool ...although, you could always improve the Shark's head by adding a pair of feet sticking out of his mouth ;)
