What are your references for your Yara design?
I created her new look with the help of a friend who studies Brazilian indigenous culture! We got a lot of her look inspiration from the Karajá tribe, I'll leave here some pics we used as references.

DEVELOPING TENDINITIS IN THE SECOND ARM

Do sharkfolk still have cartilage skeletons or did they evolve bones to help with the whole becoming bipedal thing? Also what do their skeletons look like?
I imagine that the Sharkfolk have developed a unique adaptation in their skeleton, which allows them to live both on land and in the ocean, but how this works is up to interpretation. What I can say is that it might be similar to that of amphibians, a hybrid skeleton made of bone and cartilage. 🦴🦈
Similar to frogs, the Sharkfolk's life cycle would begin with a completely marine phase. When they are born, their bodies are predominantly cartilaginous, with underdeveloped arms and legs. As they grow, they undergo a process of ossification: the limbs become stronger, the spine straightens and the body adapts to terrestrial locomotion. In the sea, they swim in a serpentine movement, keeping their arms close to their body, similar to the marine lizards of the Galapagos.
I made this illustration to try to show what the skeleton would look like, I know it's not that “accurate” but I hope you like it! I chose a great white shark to get a better view, the other species work in the same way, with a few small differences, mainly in the shape of the skull.
I thought it would be nice if the rib cage evolved from the gill arches. I used this diagram for inspiration:

Although they have adapted well to life on land, Sharkfolk still depend on a balance between the two environments. Spending too much time exclusively on land or at sea can cause physical changes, atrophy or even degenerative diseases. For this reason, their physical health requires a balanced routine of exercise, both aquatic (such as swimming and gill breathing) and terrestrial (such as walking and lung breathing).
Finally, Roberto, being a great hammerhead shark, would probably have one of the most "eccentric" skulls of the species hehe
I hope you like it! 🦈✨
