Wannabe Sharks: the fishes who want to be sharks. Wannabe Sharks is a collection of 2 types of fishes in 4 different colours. Each fish wears either a shark fin, snout, suit or tail amounting to 32 pieces of traditional artworks – each cut-out and pasted onto pieces of coloured paper.
Each piece of artwork is digitised and then minted on OpenSea. All items in the Wannabe Sharks collection include an unlockable content, which will be owned by the first person who purchases the NFT.
This collection was inspired by many things: the American television series — Shark Tank, the Ubisoft shark game — Hungry Shark World, and my own little fishes.
Watching Shark Tank with my family was fun and we got to know more about entrepreneurship. But, the thing that inspired me to make NFT of sharks was the name, "Shark Tank" and its segue with sharks swimming in a tank.
I was inspired by the game Hungry Shark World because it has different sharks that you could play as and as you level up, you can purchase bigger sharks. The design of each shark is gorgeous and it made me want to make an NFT about sharks.
I did not want to just create shark NFTs and call it a day, I wanted to include my love for my fishes as well. I love fishes and have been fishkeeping for a year or so. I am keeping Glo-Tetras and Glo-Danios. These fish are amazingly energetic and active.
So, I created Wannabe Sharks: the fishes who want to be sharks.
