The Dreaming Sharks Time! 🦈✨

◆ 🌙 ◆ ☀️ ◆ ⭐ ◆

I've finished these three artworks of my silly shorks friends, and I hope to explore and tell the story and world I've thought up for them in more depth. 🌊✨

#Art #Sharkfolk #Sharks
🌙 Roberto, the great hammerhead shark, I thought his cheeky pose subtly referred to the shape and symbolism of the scorpion. Also inspired by the major arcana: The Moon. --- The Hammerhead Shark Time! 🦈✨ Aria to Roberto - “Do you know what's funny when you hug me? I like to hear your big heart beating, it calms me down.” 🌙 Roberto has a heart that is as big as his height, an excellent emotional supporter! ✨ ☀️ Tiago, the tiger shark, I thought his relaxed pose subtly referred to the form and symbolism of the crab. Also inspired by the major arcana: The Sun. --- The Tiger Shark Time! 🦈✨ Roberto to Tiago - “Dude, you came like the sun at six in the morning, bringing clarity when I needed it most!” ☀️ Tiago is the one who brings clarity when his friends spend too long in the shadows of insecurity. ✨ ⭐ Aria, the zebra shark, I thought her introspective pose subtly referred to the symbolism of the sign of the Pisces. Also inspired by the major arcana: The Star. --- The Zebra Shark Time! 🦈✨ Tiago to Aria - “Seriously, you turn any crazy dream into a fun idea that seems within reach!” ⭐ Aria, with her eccentric way, always rekindles the faith of her friends' hopes. ✨

A little illustration I made to go with a text I wrote on Tumblr about archetypes that best match the symbolism of sharks, in my personal view. 🦈✨

A small illustration depicting a sharkfolk with different fantasy archetypes: a small nurse shark squire, a great white shark knight or paladin with a large sword studded with his own teeth, a hammerhead shark wizard summoning star magic with a golden staff, and a small shark alchemist holding a magic potion and a grimoire. A small illustration of shark representations with modern archetypes: a ship captain shark holding a rudder, a large sailor shark holding a fishing rod, a lifeguard shark sitting on a high chair with a buoy, a hammerhead scientist shark holding a small tesla coil, a small shark with a magnifying glass, observing an Anthropocene fossil.

An old idea I had about an Oceanic Whitetip Shark “Necromancer Druid,” who summons ghosts of fish killed by fishermen to assist and help him in battles! 🐟🦈🐟

Over time, mystical beliefs began to surround the fossil. It was said that sleeping next to it could induce premonitory dreams.

Scholars attributed the fossil's origin to a supposed ancient people who had fled into a collective dream, fading into their own dreams, hence the name "The Dreamfaders".
The illustration depicts an ancient, worn mural, representing a ritual for inducing premonitory dreams through a human fossil. Between two fish-shaped candlesticks, a sharkfolk lies asleep on a bed, covered by an ornate blanket, next to a pedestal on which rests a human skull adorned with a jewel on its forehead. Above, there is a representation of a dream where an unknown humanoid figure offers a kind of hourglass to the sharkfolk, who appears surprised. It is unknown whether the scene depicted actually happened and what its real meaning was.

I received a question on Tumblr about the origin of the term "The Dreamfaders", which Waiohana (the sharkfolk) used in the past to refer to humans in the story, and I was inspired to do a few things.

Its origin is attributed to an old legend about the discovery of an enigmatic fossil. 💀✨
The illustration depicts a human skeleton curled up in a fetal position, carefully preserved in a small grotto adorned with arched ornaments. A fish-shaped incense burner emits a greenish smoke around it. The human fossil appears to be worshipped by the sharkfolk as a ceremonial object with mystical properties.

A random art I made to brainstorm names for the fictional eras leading up to my Sharkfolk’s modern age.

Besides the Anthropocene extinction, the planet faced two more subsequent mass extinctions, along with the past "big five," meaning sharks would have survived eight mass extinctions in total.
A diagram showing seven fictional geological eras following the Anthropocene (current era). 1. Eras Beyond, which would be the past eras we know as Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic, etc. Represented as only pinkish earth with small traces of technofossils. 2. Anthropocene, the era in which humanity existed, marked by a mass extinction called "Blackstorm". Represented as a black, sticky tar-like band. 3. Plastocene, an era of slow biosphere recovery with a high concentration of technofossils. Represented as purplish earth with many artificial fragments. 4. Glaciocene, an era marked by a sudden drop in the planet's temperature and the rise of a toxic haze, marked by another mass extinction called "Hailstorm". Represented as a frigid white sediment. 5. Deglacene, an era marked by thawing ice and climate change. Represented as bluish and gray sediments. 6. Pyrocene, an era marked by multiple eruptions and atmospheric poisoning, marked by a third mass extinction and the end of the mammalian realm, called the "Thunderstorm". Represented as a purplish sediment with reddish fragments. 7. Pelagocene, an era of rising tides and extreme geological changes, slowly reaching an balance. Represented as turbulent waves over a volcanic reef. 8. Selaciane, the contemporary era, marking the birth of the Waiohana civilization (the sharkfolk). Represented by calm and prosperous seas.

Finally, the most distinct characteristic of Anthropocene fossils, whether human, animal, plant, or even mineral formations, is the presence of microplastics incorporated into their structure. Curiously, the best-preserved fossils are precisely those with the lowest concentration of microplastics.
An illustration of an undefined bone with small concentrations of blue microplastics in its composition. Next to it is a small sample of blue and cyan powdered plastic.

One of the last human ruins lies in the white dunes of Kaumaha Island. It is unknown how its form was preserved, but it is believed that microorganisms consumed the artificial material and generated crystalline carbonates, leaving only the outline of an ancient city crumbling to dust.
Illustration of the ruins of a human city, buildings, skyscrapers and unrecognizable structures, covered by a crystalline layer and resting on a desert of white dunes.

Some important archaeological finds include traces called "technofossils", whose true meanings and functions the sharkfolk are only beginning to understand.
The illustration depicts human fossil records accompanied by artificial elements considered to be technofossils, found by sharkfolk. In order of appearance, the following are illustrated: a hip orthopedic prosthesis, bone rods and pins, silicone residue embedded in ribs, a pacemaker, a dental prosthesis and piercings.

Currently, complete fossils of human beings are very rare; the most complete ones discovered are only two. One is crystallized in calcite at the bottom of a cave, the only one with a preserved skull, and the other was found on the seabed, which offers a glimpse of the outline of the human body.
The illustration depicts two human fossils: one crystallized in calcite deep within a cave, its appearance and condition inspired by the fossil of the "Man of Altamura"; and another, a rather worn skeleton with many missing parts, its appearance and condition inspired by the fossil of "Lucy".

In the contemporary era, the term fell out of use with the evolution of archaeology, which sought to better understand the mysterious civilization of the Anthropocene era.

The term Dreamfaders resurfaced in the entertainment culture of sharkfolk, in games, literature, or movie themes.
The illustration depicts a trio of sharkfolk children having fun playing a tabletop RPG, where the game master appears to be describing the next monster his two friends will face: A terrifying, dream-devouring creature resembling a skeleton wearing a tattered wizard's robe and a cursed magic jewel embedded in its forehead. An illustration from a horror movie poster depicting a skeletal monstrosity that has awakened from a long-forgotten tomb, threatening a sharkfolk that appears terrified by the supernatural apparition.
