Character History:

2012/13s
he was created as a pet for Chyo, a wolf-shark. a mindless boyo that only wanted to eat. over time, i gave him a metal jaw to help him with eating anything and everything.

2014s
a quick, what-if human appearance design. nothing happened with this and it was only a thought.

2020s
revived for a pirate universe amongst friends. he got heavily developed at this point and it was fun exploring his personality and character. he's not tied with Chyo any more and made into a new, fresh start.

Current:
he's not an active character but he'll probably remain a pirate captain, it just suits him.

and for fun, cyberpunk design. im not really set on it yet but really wanted to bring back his iron jaw.

before he was a pirate shark, he was a wolf-shark hybrid pet of my character Chyo.
i believe he was first created during an RP group on DA called Aldora Parade.

i remember wanting to give Chyo some sorta pet-friend and then Tick was born. his name was originally TikTok....BEFORE THE APP HAPPENED AND I SWITCHED IT TO TICK LOL. his name is also based off the crocodile from Peter Pan lol because i love that crocodile.. i think Tick also ate a clock that made him tick tock. i forget. but he was able to devour anything and everything. (current him still can)


wolf-shark no more. now he just big shark guy

fast forward: pirate universe happened and i thought it would be fitting to bring him back. redesigned him and all while still keeping some of his past. Name. Shark traits. Tick eventually turned into a nickname instead and his real name is Mateo Heras. his family line being megalodons that sail the seas since, forever. (spoiler, his family is also undead. zombies.)


my sinister shark who's out for blood, i love him

but yes!! im really happy with his current design and placement. i hope to develop him some more as he's been a fun character to figure out and draw ヾ(o´∀｀o)ﾉ
