Nice to see you guys using photoshop(?) for the grayscale. As cool as it is to color on the original artwork, it often doesn’t translate well. Looks pretty smooth here.
I also think the fonts work better. For me, a little goes a long way with fonts. Too much stylizing and they become more distracting than enhancing. Although I was surprised that you chose “Aquatic Adventures.” Are you starting a new series? Because I would have thought this fell into the “Fish Whisperer” category.
And I think that Gary drew a Ginglymostoma Tuscanum rather than a Ginglymostoma Cirratum, but that’s a minor quibble.
Aren’t nurse sharks mostly harmless? I think I swam with them at Atlantic Marine World in Riverhead. Of course those were small ones. And Lemon Sharks. Not Liz Lemon sharks though. I’d totally do Liz Lemon Sharks.
The gray tones do work incredibly well here and the shark’s unusually curled body and expression are funny.
Gary did forget to draw the graying hair on your chest though.
