It's two tiger sharks playing tennis with a blowfish (duh!)

If I pick your title, and this prints, you'll get a free shirt!

Title front runners so far:
Great Barrier Reef Open
Sometimes You are the Ball
Sharks are Unconventional Athletes

What about:
Advantage, McEn-Roe ?

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...

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

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

He's got a pretty mean backfin
dacat
   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
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
krokun on Mar 08 '09 at 3:56pm
Shrinp sitting on a jellyfish?
dacat
   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:

ha ha, thanks Ryan

Monkey...yes, definitely headband!
dacat
   dacat on Mar 08 '09 at 10:37pm
Version 2 up! Added net, headbands and wristbands!
SuperRyan
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
   dacat on Mar 08 '09 at 11:18pm
hmm, let me try that also
brentendo
brentendo on Mar 08 '09 at 11:28pm
awesome idea with the headbands! Its looking great
SuperRyan
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?

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

   dacat on Mar 09 '09 at 6:10pm
How about "Advantage, McEn-Roe" ? Roe...get it? No?
SuperRyan
SuperRyan on Mar 09 '09 at 6:12pm
I get it.
SuperRyan
SuperRyan on Mar 09 '09 at 6:13pm
What about:

Finbledon (play on Wimbledon)?
dacat
   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.
