Fish-uary Day 10: Symbiotic Relationship (Great White Shark and Remoras)

At first I wanted to draw something funny with clownfish and anemones, but I decided to draw a shark and remoras. I wanted to draw Deep Blue in this piece, that's why the mermaid is an older woman, since Deep Blue is in her 60s. She would obviously have had remoras with her every so often and it makes me wonder, if fish could speak to each other, would they remember the remoras or cleaner wrasse or cleaner shrimp that have helped them. The idea sounds adorable to me, and now we're here!

I hope Deep Blue is doing okay out there. She might be one of the largest sharks on record, but she is getting up there in age and people haven't definitively seen her since 2019. I'm going to hope she's good out there.

Fish-uary Day 18: Pacific Ocean (Haole Girl)

I'm going to be honest, I don't know which kind of fish live where besides like freshwater, saltwater, brackish, etc.

SO I DECIDED TO DRAW HAOLE GIRL.

I mean, she was found near Hawaii, Hawaii is in the Pacific Ocean... Yeah...

I find Haole Girl to be quite interesting since, in photos taken, her dorsal fin is very pristine. Deep Blue has scars across her and bits taken from her fins, but Haole Girl seemingly doesn't. Makes me wonder how old she is and what she does all day.
