Artist's Comments

This was a commision for our lovely cashier at Animethon. So PLEASE refrain from ANY unauthorized use of it!

After seeing the technicolour oil spill she exclaimed VERY enthusiastically that she would give her soul and future children and such to have a sea turtle in a similair style. I was hooked on the idea, I didn't tell her for sure I would make her it, but I did and when she saw it in progress she literally squealed. ^_^

Looking back, I should have charged more! XD this nearly broke my wrist!
Done on roughly 8" by 11" sketchbook paper, in a .03 sakura micron V_V;; my hand was extremely cramped after working on it!

I did use referance photos of sea turtles, since she was very adament that it BE a SEA TURTLE
to me it looks like it would make a cool tattoo design, although I would pity any tattoo artist asked to copy it

It is ink, but I smoothed the black in photoshop to eliminate all the white specks that you can't see in real life.
Do you usually prefer things un-edited? :)

Only if leaving it unedited has some point, as if it's supposed to be grungy. But no, I edit all my traditional work, just because scanners have dirt or dust or something sometimes, and there are a lot of flaws that are not noticeable until you're looking at your beautiful artwork that you worked so hard on at 300% and thinking 'ARRRRGH that speck shouldn't be there!!'

so no. And your turtle looks very nice.

Thanks!
I had it up to 600% because I don't have the original, so it was even worse XD flecks and tiny spots galore from inking big spaces with a tiny itty bitty pen.
