Hello!
I think it's high time I start doing journals and breakdown of my characters, so here we go.
I finished the hi-rez of this fellow turtle. He started as a corrupted turtle warlock, but after spending time completely redoing the shell, I decided to take off his cape, then his wand, and slowly the warlocky aesthetic faded away to make room for a more interesting and compelling Turtle Sailor, with his wooden leg, his pipe and his lantern-staff.
I do hand-painted textures aiming to be a bit more painterly, so I think the sculpt is in a good state to allow the texture to do most of the work, while still giving the information it needs to give.
I can't wait to start painting
