Sea Turtle Illustration – Finished

Finished!  I introduced the seaweed to give him scale and balance the composition.  I wonder if their shells feel hard or leathery?

Sea Turtle Illustration In Progress

I've imported the scanned drawing and started adding color. 

At this point it reminds me of my favorite bag from Seaside Cloth and Grass

I may have to make a print at this stage for myself. 

Sea Turtle Drawing

After the hammerheads, I wanted to to take a break from scary for a bit.  I felt guilty shirking the face your fears duty, so I asked some friends over on the Regretsy forums to vote for either the moray eel, starfish or sea turtle. They voted for the sea turtle, so here one swims.

He's quite attractive, and while he might lop off a finger or two in that beak, he's more likely to just swim by. Bemused as only a creature with such a long life span can be.
