I'm just gunna let the title sink in a minute.

There's a lot I have to say about this pic.

  1. He is a Lemon Shark.
  2. The word for 'Shark' in the New Zealand Maori language is 'Mango'.
  3. I like mangoes.
  4. Lego used the Maori language heavily when naming Bionicle characters.
  5. I like Bionicle.
  6. I'm a huge nerd.
  7. Mangoes and Lemons are both fruits.
  8. MANGO THE LEMON SHARK

Now for the news.

STEP ASIDE KAZE RILEY, MANGO IS TAKING THE LEAD ROLE!

That's right. The leucistic ball python is no longer my fursona. My fursona henceforth shall be MANGO THE LEMON SHARK.

He's a he, he's 26 years old, he stands about 5'11" at about 160~ pounds, and is generally straight, and is also a huge nerd for anime, gundam, legos, pokemon, and lots of other things. He's me, after all, so I did my best to draw my body style. Of course, he wears glasses, and that's the best approximation of my current hairstyle that I can manage.

Nothing super complicated here. No crazy markings. Hes me. I wouldn't get tattoos and I don't have glowy parts or rainbow hairstyles, so he doesn't either. Like with Kaze, I tried to go with simple over flashy. This way, he'll stand out all on his own.

Oh yes, and like me, he's terrified of swimming in the ocean.

That said, henceforth if you want to get my attention, feel free to use the following:

-Doc
-Dr. B
-Doctor Bored
-Mango

Hopefully I'll draw him more than I drew Kaze at the very least. Last name is WIP.

The last thing I'll say is that this does not invalidate Kaze. He still exists, and maybe I'll draw him in the future. There's still art of him from other artists that's fantastic, but just like the evolution from Kai Okana to Kaze Riley, this is me moving into a new chapter of my life.

Hope you guys like!

    ...there's a certain irony of a shark that's afraid of the ocean, you have to admit this.

      Oh absolutely. But think about all the things we're afraid of as humans that we shouldn't be.
