Swamp Tortoise - I imagine this one to be the cousin of the larger ocean turtle shown in my piece “Goodnight Turtle”. It’s a bit more humble in size, but it’s still bigger than a man. I really like how this one turned out
My original art made in Procreate, please credit if you re-use.
[Image description: a digital painting of a very large fantastical tortoise hanging out under shallow swampy water, mostly submerged except for the top of its shell. On top of its shell grows a patch of grass with a ton of fungus and little fireflies/fairylights. Below the water the red iris of the turtle glows red. Behind the creature a lot of trees with warm red wood grow, further trees disappearing into the distance of the scene. Streams of light come down to illuminate the scene below, reflecting on the water and making it sparkle as well as highlighting the garden of mushrooms on the tortoise’s back. End image description.]
