Just some quick practice sketches to warm up.

Used a reference of a tortoise for this one: http://www.backfromthebrink.org/speciesimages/13/1_gopher_tortoise.jpg.

Tried to emulate my pencil technique with the tablet, but it takes longer and doesn't look nearly as good.

Yes, this looks pretty cool! Nice sketchy style.

I love the way you molded the tortoise into your own style.

Oh it's stunning so far comd, it reminds me of The Steven Brust series Jhereg..... You've given me an idea to draw that creature. I give all the props to you. Hope you finish this.

Editing my comment, didn't realize you finished. My bad. :o

Nice loose reference work. I like your hatching; it makes for a very illustrative style. I think it'd be cool if you made some of these pictures like they were pages from some fantasy logbook.

I absolutely love it! Reminds me of the Mock Turtle, from Alice in Wonderland.

Reminds me of the guy who did the concept stuff for the Stargate movie, he did alot of animal heads. This sketch is particularly clean!
