Thanks! I don't think this is from any story. My instructor might have made it up haha. We were given a short paragraph and had to do an illustration based on it

that is cool but man if you choose a tortoise as a mount you really must not need to get to wherever it is you are going

I have always thought giant tortoises were the coolest thing. And those chin feelers just clinch it.

I honestly believe you have no reason to be afraid. I think it is better to know what is/went wrong so we can learn with our mistakes .
Have a nice week!

ForBangPooOnly [2009-12-12 08:16:43 +0000 UTC]

I really really really like this. I just want to know why a tortoise? (Why not a turtle?)
And, how did you make it look like traditional art? Also, what texture is that?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

lockjaw In reply to ForBangPooOnly [2009-12-13 06:25:02 +0000 UTC]

I figured the swamp water would be too shallow for a turtle to swim in and made it into a tortoise instead.

It looks like traditional art? Thats kinda awesome. I used custom brushes from [link] and a paper texture.

I love tortoises I was so shocked to see such a cool piece of tortoise art on the DD today! The concept and atmosphere are simply beautiful.

I hope my pet tortoise grows that big someday so I can ride around on her armor-clad back and have adventures.
