The Sea Turtle




Here we see my cat Moxie checking out this Sea Turtle and offering a convenient size reference. Though keep in mind, Moxie is a runt of the litter cat.






Stuffed Animals are a spectacularly fun challenge for me. This Sea Turtle was the biggest challenge of all because my deadline was 48 hours from my starting it. I slept a total of 5 hours in two nights. I found inspiration for his shell at Planet June's Blog. You'll notice that my turtle is quite different, from her finished product, however, which is why I say inspiration.
This turtle is one of my favorite things I've ever made, in league with Fluttershy and the Rainbow Mohawk hat. 
Special Notes: Do you see those eye ridges? Damn, that is some excellent shaping.

I beg of you not to order something 48 hours before a deadline, the lack-of-sleep hallucinations aren't good hallucinations.
