Happy #sharkweek everyone!

On the age-old debate over sharks vs boat batteries, I definitely come down on the side of sharks. May they last another 450 million years!

Sharks are essential for biodiversity. Here’s how:

🦈 They regulate fish populations
🐟 They prevent prey species from overgrazing habitats
🌿 They protect coral reefs and seagrass beds
🌊 They keep marine food webs in balance

Portfolio pieces for your #gameart portfolio do not have to be large scale. Make smaller scale, higher quality work and increase your scale gradually. Awesome example of this by Matteo Maravalle
