never drawn cetaceans in my life and now i'm out here speculating on mer-mammalian biology
#borrowing jazz to be my curly-finned anatomy model#wip#i wanna draw him in his ridiculous little beanie at some point#wondering where i'm gonna have em position their arms while swimming it's gonna like. affect the Shape#hmmmm#somewhere#damn maybe jazz has a habit of swimming with his arms away from his body#like a learned behaviour he's developed because he's in a small space and frequently interacting with walls/floors/surfaces#so he's always bracing for expected or unexpected contact with his surroundings#meanwhile prowl's used to having a lot of space to Go Fast and therefore swims in the most hydrodynamic way possible#he thinks jazz is extremely inefficient#and then he smacks his face into the concrete for the first time#and is like.#ohhhhhhh#i get it#merformers ig? is it merformers if they're just fish-#apocalyptic ponyo
