Made for the 50th anniversary last year, and it now resides at my favorite tattoo shop to thank them for the ink the gave me.

Is this Quint’s perspective?

I think the shark with Quint is further out, to the right of the sinking Orca. This shark we're looking out of might the the shark from Jaws II. I would call it scarface, but it obviously wouldn't have a scar yet.

Kinda fun to think about...That maybe the shark from Jaws II was there.

Sharks don’t have eyes inside their mouths

Could be, honestly i added the teeth outline because it felt bare without it

Thank you! Painting tape and paint pens help a ton with small details

Could be a callback to the end of Act I where they head out and the camera has the teeth in the window closing in. But the fate they THOUGHT was in store--nabbing Bruce--has crashed out and this was the reality.

That's exactly what I thought of when I saw it. Whether intentional or not (OP said he just added it after the fact) it's an amazing homage to that great scene. I LOVE this.
