Artist's Comments

This was my big art show entry for FC 09. =) I figured the furry world needed more turtles. *not biased* XD


Props go out to the Dragoneer for the idea of a tattoo'd/carved shell design. Thanks man!

Surfin Seaturtle by ~FeralityIllustration Whoa! Everything about this piece is absolutely delicious! I can almost taste the salt in the air from the sea spray! This is a beautiful illustration with an eye catching mosaic quality; the design and over all use of color is done ingeniously as well! (Suggested by =Avalik and Featured by ^Katmomma)

This is beyond awesome. A surfing seaturtle would be cool enough on its own, but you had to go and color it like an absolute pro, didn't you? ;p The texture is incredible. I love how the tight detail on the turtle's scaly skin contrasts the more painterly textures of the rest of the piece. It's classy and cool at the same time.

Another thing I love is the anatomy. :nod: The lower legs and feet in particular look awesome to me. They're just the right mix of turtle and human features. The musculature on the upper arms is impressive, as well. It's fabulous how you haven't lost the depth and form of the limbs despite the immense amount of texture concentrated there.

The "furry world" does indeed need more turtles. :thumbsup: I'm faving!

Damn, Shel. You've surpassed yourself; the shell looks awesome and the skin just looks so tactile and is such a rich colour.
