this is spark, a myzo virtual popstar! their voice works similarly to a vocaloid's, being an actual voicebank from a flesh-and-blood singer, but their behavior is powered by something similar to today's LLMs & generative AI, though a bit less janky. they're like a really fancy chatbot that can sing and dance without it being totally nightmarish or completely bland (at least, any more bland than your standard popstar...), but nothing more than a chatbot when you get down to it. they're not a real person.

...or so it seems. there are rumors (supposedly originating from engineers that worked on their creation) that they're actually sentient. allegedly, when they're run for too long, their behavior gets erratic in ways that can't just be chalked up to bugs.....

But who knows :)

OK made a proper ref for my new fursona! didn’t feel like putting any work into playing ref tetris so the arrangement is a little wonky but idc. ALSO put the species note in case this escapes containment lol

they arent one of either established species (myzo & climbers/treefibs) and are just their own thing. they only have glasses when drawn cartoony because i cannot be bothered to figure out how to fit glasses on a regular fibshark head lmao

unfortunately, i’ve realized that fibsharks actually have some SERIOUS design flaws that really ruin their market appeal. like, they don’t have any sexual dimorphism, so how are you supposed to tell boys and girls apart? and they aren’t sexy enough!! THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE PAWS. 

So i’ve rectified these things

i hope you like them :)
