Recipe for how to make a dreamy hammerhead shark guitarist: ✦🦈 Resilient sharks! ✦🌊 Many millions of years! ✦✨ And a little magic! And voilà, we have our silly Roberto! It took me a while, but I finally finished this artwork!

Illustration depicting the passage through the ages of hammerhead sharkfolk, presented as an evolutionary line. There is an ornament symbolizing a mysterious moonlit event of supernatural origin on a global scale. Moon phase symbols mark passage of time, and waves shift from rough to calm. The illustration begins with a storm and great wave engulf an unknown city, suggesting the end of the Anthropocene. The first image shows a wild hammerhead shark swimming freely in the open sea, illuminated by sunlight. In the second, the shark already has developed arms and pelvic fins that are beginning to adapt to form legs. It devours a fish caught with its bare hands. The third scene shows the shark with more evolved limbs, trying to crawl out of the water on a rocky beach. Some seaweed is attached to its dorsal fin. In the fourth scene, the shark is completely adapted to life on the surface. It uses plants as rudimentary clothing and builds a shelter of clay and shells under a mangrove tree. It is pouring nectar from a broken coconut into a small bowl. The fifth scene depicts a shark in a developed tribal society, wearing more elaborate clothing and carrying a wooden spear adorned with its own teeth. In the background are huts with conical roofs. The sixth image shows a shark in a similarly medieval era, wearing an elegant tunic and holding a crosier with a lunar symbol. He knees before an unknown human figure. Palaces with domes appear in the background. The seventh image represents an era similar to the Enlightenment or Industrial Age. The shark wears sophisticated clothing reminiscent of an engineer's and holds up an invention: a flask filled with glowing liquid that powers a light bulb. Elegant masonry houses with clay roofs appear in the background. In the eighth and final scene, a shark lives in a contemporary era, wearing modern clothes inspired by a teenage punk. He plays a moon-shaped guitar, while modern buildings and apartments form the background.
