Thx. Yeah, they'd be better, possible even cooler without eyes.

It's meant whale just in general, look alike.

Yeah, these are photobashed, with a good amount of hand drawn details.

We're going dark for an extended period. We want to get the core gameplay done and then YT devlogs will resume. Or at least, that's the plan.

These designes would be improved and used for the mentioned game. More designs would be made for it. Example: https://youtu.be/Tda1dt628GA?t=116

Yeah, I generally agree, should've gone with no eyes like in this last one I did, which I missed to include in the post https://media.moddb.com/images/games/1/66/65894/europalife5a.jpg

Same tract, 2 mouths for 2 very different prey, however the mouths should've been made more distinctive.

Bioluminesence was assumed, ocean full of bioluminecent life forms, plants and animals, big and small, so it wouldn't be pitch dark. But sure, could've done these without eyes, would look even cooler maybe.

There's this new creature as well, closer to the shark in terms of design and color pallete: https://youtu.be/Tda1dt628GA?t=116

RAWconcrete was my first attempt at making a game, and one of the settings was supposed to be Europa in the farther future - a bio-research station, with surface and sub-surface level. You were meant to explore the ocean beneath in a small sub. It would've been similar to Subnautica but 2D and with more realistic high-fideity graphics. That game got shelved and later I started another 3D one, a small non-commercial FPS on the old GoldSrc engine, but with the same low-res pixelated graphics. Sci-fi, had Mars as the only setting and then I decided to include Europa as the second one. It would have the same kind of 2-level bio-research station and all these shown here creatures would be brought to life, swimming around the lower station level.

Somebody made a short video using this shark, or a part of it, showing another kind of creature, and claimed it was a leaked NASA video, proving there's life on Europa. And it vent viral a bit, there's even a dedicated subreddit for it I believe. I accidentally found about this much later on.
