Description More members of Karoo's Pod!

I've actually got a whole bunch of members written out for Karoo's Pod. Mother Sorbet and son Darwyn.
Darwyn is a teenage male orca, interestingly he has a snaggletooth around the same spot that his mother has a freckle. He's 100% a momma's boy, never straying far from her side. As he gets bigger, he becomes more protective of her and the other females in the pod.

Aw man, that tooth!
I like that Momma and son kind of reflect each other, with the tooth and freckle, and even how Sorbet's eyepatch marking looks like the marking in Darwyn's dorsal.

I actually know a real life dolphin who has two snaggleteeth like that They don't stick out all that much though. And they actually turn black quite quickly from all the dirt and algae and stuff sticking to them, so I didn't even notice until a year later hahah. Anyway, it's really cute, makes Darwyn look like a little vampire!

That's adorable and interesting! This sketch was done without much thought though and he was actually going to have a fang-shaped marking there, but then I thought "how neat would it be if it was actually a tooth," but I didn't rework it to make a little more sense heheheh. Next thing I draw of Darwyn, I'll make his tooth a little more reasonable.

Oh of course! The story was not meant to be critique at all or to tell your design off - I just wanted to share the coincidence of knowing a dolphin with that look I actually think it looks really sweet this way, so don't feel bound by what happened in the case of one bottlenose (or even reality in general). Who knows there might actually dolphins out there who really have one tooth poking out like that, it'd look pretty awesome :'D
