This is a piece I commissioned from the immensely talented
IncredibleEdibleCalico featuring perhaps my most notable original character, a young shapeshifting sharboy named 'Kade.'
I'll do a full bio later on, but the general gist this is a teen with no real memory of who or what he is, just that he has some pretty abnormal abilities and superhuman qualities...such as the ability to transform into a walkin', talkin' humanoid shark. I've commissioned a good few people to do artwork of this kid, and each artist has done a tremendous job bringing him to life and giving them their own unique spin. I think Calico did a great job here really capturing the personality of Kade in both forms.
At his core, despite being able to transform into a big, maneating shark, Kade's a complete cinnamon bun and a dork of the highest caliber. By his own admission, he's not too booksmart, but he is really good at listening and always tries to learn. He's also deeply kindhearted and selfless, always thinking about others and trying to help anyone he can.
But he's also got a bit of a mischievous and rowdy side. He IS a teenager after all. And he's got an appetite that could put a SUMO wrestler to shame! In his Great White Shark form, he's infinitely stronger, faster and has heightened senses. He can also swallow a full grown adult male whole, two humans is his maximum capacity in fact! But even in this far more imposing and frightful form, he's still the same Kade at heart, and while he has swallowed several bad guys before, he would never digest or kill anyone.
...Granted, he's more than okay not telling his prey that. They tend to squirm more that way, and since they're jerks, they DO deserve a good scare before being spat out and left at the mercy of the police. ;)

Oh yeah, he's a complete goofball and tends to find himself in a lot of sheepish and embarrassing situations, but he has a big heart and always tries to be better and more thoughtful for his friends, all of whom kind of guide him. At points, he's almost child-like with how innocent and wide-eyed he is. Some things regular people are indifferent to or take for granted, will amaze Kade and fill him with child-like glee...ESPECIALLY video games. 'XD
Really great work once again! Glad ya like the goofball so much! :)

While the clothes are a bit different from what I remember - I remember him preferring a plain white T-shirt and blue shorts/trunks - for the most part, this is exactly how I imagined Kade looking. What I really love about the image is how Calico captured the two sides of Kade's personality; he just looks so friggin' adorable in his human form, and so fittingly cocky and and mischievous in his "other suit."
This is fantastic, in short; my compliments to the artist! I long for the day I can get art from them...as unlikely as that is, since my wallet is regrettably barren. XD ANYWAY, nice to see more of the kid!
Sincerely,
The Cheshire Cat's Master
