Turtle PALEOART Process with Commentary | Middle Jurassic Lower Shaximiao Formation | Timelapse

Commissioned sketch study of all the turtles from the Lower Shaximiao Formation that we could find, and one that may or may not have been there at all. Drawn in Procreate with some minor final touches that weren't recorded in Photoshop.

Commissioner again! It might be a while before I get something else, since while I have ideas...I need a good one to be worthwhile you know?
As for the turtles, I love them all but especially love our 'pancake' which is the speculative softshell from the Lower Shaximiao. If anyone can confirm we got them right...that would be lovely. Also, if anyone has got ideas that would help too.

The illustrations are great and it is awesome to hear the process on making them

Not even halfway in, and I'm subbed. Your art is AMAZING.
