No. 847: Barraskewda

 all points, no quills, no pillows

ok, this one is kinda raw though. Barraskewda is a 4 foot torpedo of a javelin, swimming along at 100 mph and punching holes in boats and whales. The muppet eyes no longer look goofy, they give it a deranged air. That is the face of something with exactly enough brain cells to know how to kill you, and not a single spare.

But what really makes this design, to me, is the tail. It rotates like a propeller, which is such a cool, unnatural movement! I wish static art could convey it.

And its fishbone decals on the side are pointed the right direction, emphasizing speed, unlike Arrokuda. The only thing keeping this from being perfect (and I can't believe I'm responding so positively to what is basically just another random fish) is the color scheme. But that shiny variant? Oh mama.


Overall: 9/10

  1. The muppet eyes that go from goofy to menancing were really inspired
