Water sports

brentendo on Mar 08 '09 at 3:36pm

great design btw! I love the textures on the sharks

davidfromdallas on Mar 08 '09 at 3:37pm

haha this is awesome

is it completely done? if not, i'd love to see a ref sitting in a high chair or the ball boys (little fish)

i'll be thinkin of title options...

krokun on Mar 08 '09 at 3:38pm

Whoops, though it was a game of pong at first look, will think of relevant tennis titles.

dacat on Mar 08 '09 at 3:39pm

Nope, still can work on it DFD.

I was think a ref too, but not sure if that clutters it ...maybe a floating jelly fish ref?

Two Sharks And The Blowfish
Spiky Ball

dacat on Mar 08 '09 at 3:39pm

krokun, table tennis could be interpreted as well!

davidfromdallas on Mar 08 '09 at 3:40pm

haha jellyfish ref is an awesome idea, since long tentacles could simulate high chair legs haha

bsweber on Mar 08 '09 at 3:43pm

the great barrier reef open

littlem on Mar 08 '09 at 3:44pm

ace face

Hurty-Love

krokun on Mar 08 '09 at 3:45pm

Ok retry, 50,000 sets under the sea

brentendo on Mar 08 '09 at 3:46pm

Fault..second service...Bubble fault

brentendo on Mar 08 '09 at 3:46pm

or maybe just bubble fault

bsweber on Mar 08 '09 at 3:48pm

this fish could be a ref :)

bsweber on Mar 08 '09 at 3:48pm

sorry that's huge

Maltzmania on Mar 08 '09 at 3:49pm

Game, Set, Ahhhhhhhhh!

krokun on Mar 08 '09 at 3:49pm

haha or how about Some days you are the ball

SuperRyan on Mar 08 '09 at 3:52pm

He's got a pretty mean backfin

dacat on Mar 08 '09 at 3:53pm

ha ha, some good suggestions up there!

Krokun, ha ha, that's pretty good

Brett: That's a good idea too...hmmm, will try some options for the referee:
clown fish with whistle?
jelly fish floating
crab/shrimp on a high chair?

SuperRyan on Mar 08 '09 at 3:55pm

I think it would be cool if you put an old, decaying net (like off of a pirate ship or something) as the net, and those reef plants could be like posts holding it up.

krokun on Mar 08 '09 at 3:56pm

Shrinp sitting on a jellyfish?

dacat on Mar 08 '09 at 3:59pm

Ryan, not a bad idea! I drew up two other plant thingies, but it got really cluttered, but I like your idea.

Maybe this shrimp:

Monkey X on Mar 08 '09 at 4:03pm

give one of those sharks a headband ^^

SuperRyan on Mar 08 '09 at 4:12pm

Wristbands = Finbands?

BlueLobster on Mar 08 '09 at 4:16pm

SuperRyan on Mar 08 '09 at 4:17pm

Manta ray?

Parrot fish?

Grouper?

SuperRyan on Mar 08 '09 at 4:18pm

Tennis Gills

He's got gills!

alvarejo on Mar 08 '09 at 4:26pm

great work man!!!!!

dacat on Mar 08 '09 at 8:00pm

ha ha, thanks Ryan

Monkey...yes, definitely headband!

dacat on Mar 08 '09 at 10:37pm

Version 2 up! Added net, headbands and wristbands!

SuperRyan on Mar 08 '09 at 10:44pm

I think the headband looks a little weird. Maybe have it on the dorsal fin instead?

dacat on Mar 08 '09 at 11:18pm

hmm, let me try that also

brentendo on Mar 08 '09 at 11:28pm

awesome idea with the headbands! Its looking great

SuperRyan on Mar 08 '09 at 11:31pm

looking great.

Maybe the shark on the right should be smaller to give the 2 some distance between them?

toopersent on Mar 08 '09 at 11:31pm

Rafinel Nadal vs. Rodger Finderer

SuperRyan on Mar 08 '09 at 11:32pm

^ tennis nerd

SuperRyan on Mar 08 '09 at 11:33pm

The only titles I can brainstorm involve "fin" replacing "spin"

dacat on Mar 09 '09 at 1:51am

More titles?

dacat on Mar 09 '09 at 1:17pm

Monday bump!

ounom on Mar 09 '09 at 1:20pm

Volleyfish? ;))

SuperRyan on Mar 09 '09 at 1:21pm

Top Fin
Backfin

Maybe something involving deuce, love, set, etc. tennis terms?

TheInfamousBaka on Mar 09 '09 at 1:47pm

Spike With Caution
Caution: Spike
Points All Around
One Fish, Two Fish, Score!
Sharks Are Unconventional Athletes

Hm...

krokun on Mar 09 '09 at 1:50pm

I actually quite like "Sharks are unconventional athletes"

dacat on Mar 09 '09 at 1:51pm

Oh my, thanks you guys, making this a tough choice!

ratkiss on Mar 09 '09 at 1:53pm

I like backfin!

dacat on Mar 09 '09 at 6:10pm

How about "Advantage, McEn-Roe" ? Roe...get it? No?

SuperRyan on Mar 09 '09 at 6:12pm

I get it.

SuperRyan on Mar 09 '09 at 6:13pm

What about:

Finbledon (play on Wimbledon)?

dacat on Mar 09 '09 at 6:17pm

that's not bad Ryan!

I'm starting to lean towards a commentary like "McEnroe slams a forefin down the line" or something an announcer would say. I like backfin, but the shark is not doing a backhand actually.
