Shark poster
To commemorate Shark week 2022, i made this poster of all my shark models and some their relatives, both living and extinct. i hope this highlights just the incredible diversity of these incredible animals that have existed on this planet for nearly 400 million years, and spawned forms as different as the gentle giant whale shark, and the minuscule dwarf lantern shark!
