Ahhhh! I found the BEST shirt!

RSVLTS put out a bunch of Moana themed shirts and THIS shiny gem was among them! They make pretty nice quality shirts, although they're a little pricey. But man, I never bought one so fuckin' fast as I did when I saw this!

An attempt at drawing this guy again after almost ten years, because the only good thing the remake is doing for me is making me want to revisit Moana stuff again.

😈🦀✨i'd rather be shiny~

In light of the latest release of the live-action Moana remake (which has since been out for a week-), I rewatched the real and true peak that is the original animated film last Thursday, and this led me to draw Tamatoa for the first time in years (...and even have my crush on him being reignited uwu) - overall, I hope you enjoy!! Please be kind to each other and have an amazing weekend~ ♡♡♡

Tamatoa while I work, found some crayons in a drawer 😊

Live action won’t be any good (and wait until release on Disney plus) but the least I’m here to see this huge fuk.

[a-world-chaotic-art]

Disney don’t not remove “Shiny” (which possibly they may) 

[turquoiseshards]

Ah, yes. Sea creatures. Each dropped a single banger. Pretty designs. Flamboyant. Bioluminescent. Antagonists. They would definately be rivals, but would admit respect. In a very passive agressive way. Not like the pictures prove that now.

Hey guys, I'm back here once again. I thought that these days I wouldn't post anything more about Tamatoa. I know he doesn't appear much in the Moana movies, but, anyway. I can't stop liking him, he's too beautiful 🦀✨❤️

Do yall just randomly screenshot ur fav scenes from a movie?

WELL I DO! AND HERS MY FAV SCREEN SHOTS FROM MOANA!

And it's mainly the crab guy Tamatoa.

I like how exprsive he is when he literally has no eyebrows- (especially the scene where EYELASHES APPEAR! he so slay)

So he canonicaly (or just appearance) HAS eyelashes (?)

I LOVE HOW SOMETIMES WHEN HIS MOUTH IS CLOSED HE DOES THE :3

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH-

(and also yes I had to screenshot his WHOLE body. Bc he's to pretty to get cut of at some screenshot :D but his face is more inportant too)

[haz3l-azul]

THE UNCANNON SHIP NAME IS SHINY-SHELL

YAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!! *confetti everywhere-*

I renewed, or rather, I redesigned my crab version. Well, I improved some details that would have gone unnoticed, and I'm doing a digital coloring. So Diva ✨😌💅

Eu renovei, ou melhor, eu redesenhei minha versão em caranguejo, bom, eu melhorei alguns detalhes que passariam despercebidos, e tô fazendo um colorido digital. Bem Diva ✨😌💅

[foundfamilyhq]

Should Tamatoa from Moana join the tumblr found family?

Yeah!

Nope!
