ALT An illustration that pays homage to the Ghibli film: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. But with the elements of the film's universe replaced by maritime elements. Nausicaä, here a small salmon-colored shark, wears a blue dress with a crab-shaped crest and a red jewel. She is on her glider, shaped like a manta ray, along with her little squirrel fox, which here is a sea slug. From above, she observes the pilgrimage of the allegory to the great Ohmu, which here are giant crabs. There is a swarm of these crabs heading towards a lake of toxic heavier liquid at the bottom of the sea. Nearby, there is a large, deceased crab, sprouting coral from its body. Here, the Toxic Jungle is a reef of gigantic white corals scattered and sprouting among the toxic red sands and ruins of the past. In the sky, which is actually the ocean ceiling, jellyfish-like creatures float peacefully.

ALT A large illustration featuring various "shark-puppies" of different shark species in a variety of poses. They are shown in curious and happy stances, running, sniffing, acting playful, and more! Below the image, there is a description styled like a scientific species illustration, naming them "Carcharocanis familiaris". This name combines Carcharodon (the genus that includes great white sharks) with Canis (the genus that includes dogs), plus Familiaris to indicate they are domesticated.

ALT An illustration of Roberto's van, named Starfall. Roberto stands proudly and happily beside it, inviting the viewer on a trip to the beach. It's a mix of the old Volkswagen Kombi design, but with five wheels, inspired by the design of the Mazda T1500 and Auto rickshaws (Tuk Tuk). The colors are cyan, white, purple, and yellow. There's an illustration of a bright six-pointed star with a three-colored tail on the side. And a ladder behind it leads to a platform-type luggage rack. The background is adorned with gardens featuring tropical plants and trees like palm trees, an urban lamppost, and paving stones.

ALT A personal illustration intended as emotional support for myself, depicting my OCs, Roberto the great hammerhead shark and the "human spirit," a still mysterious presence. The scene shows Roberto sitting on a large pillow somewhere in his house, near the window at night, with the human spirit radiating and nestled against his chest. Both seem happy and sleepy. Meanwhile, ghosts of extinct fish species from the Anthropocene era hover ethereally around them. Around them are several potted plants with a watering can and a portable record player beside them, probably playing some calm, nocturnal music. There are some records on the floor; the most prominent one has a cover with three pyramids, with a star shining at the tip of one of them, radiating a rainbow that forms the album title "Prisma."

ALT An illustration of my sharkfolk OCs: Roberto the great hammerhead shark, Tiago the tiger shark, and Aria the zebra shark. They are in a scene spending time together as good friends. Roberto is sitting cross-legged on the floor, performing a tarot card divination to give advice to his friend Aria. He is holding a can of coconut milk soda. Aria is sitting opposite Roberto, curious and admiring the tarot card that came up as a result, which is the major arcana "The Star". On the floor, under a cloth specifically for divination, are two other cards with the arcana "The Moon" and "The Sun". Next to her is a can of passion fruit soda. Meanwhile, Tiago is nestled on a sofa, playing on a portable console, listening to the sound through a wired headset with an antenna and a coiled cord. On the arm of the sofa, there's a can of Guaraná soda and a four-string tenor guitar resting beside it. Around them, there are various snacks, such as a bowl of cookies and a mushroom and anchovy pizza.

ALT A large concept illustration of the background of the "Blue Lobby," the entrance to the Cerulean Tower of the Seven Waves residential complex, home to my sharkfolk characters. Roberto (The great hammerhead shark) and Tiago (the tiger shark) are in the center, on a winding walkway that passes over a circular reflecting pool with tropical gardens and a replica of an antique vase on display. The environment has an architecture reminiscent of the 1950s, with cylindrical columns, rounded shapes, and cobogó (a type of perforated brick). There are several other resident sharkfolk such as: A lemon and Caribbean sharkfolk cleaning a glass door; two small Leopard sharkfolk maintaining the tiles of one of the columns; a Nurse sharkfolk cleaning the floor with a spinning mop while wearing headphones; a Whale and Caribbean sharkfolk descending a ramp that probably leads to an underground parking lot; there is a mother silky sharkfolk pushing a shopping cart while her son holds a juice bottle; The
