Tortoise

This is a commission I finally finished. Her owner is a tortoise breeder and this one, named Tamina, is her favourite one. Somehow I struggled a lot with this, probably because I have no connections to turtles at all. They are rather sweet and friendly animals though, I enjoyed watching those guys when I visited them to do the sketches - and I was very surprised how quick they can actually move when food is involved...
