I photographed this intelligent looking creature at the Corpus Christi, Tx Aquarium. Grab you paint brushes (er) stylus, pen or mouse and see what you can do.

... I decided to add some Eye Candy to the mix. Here (http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/6681/turtleorig5ie.jpg) is the complete rendering; cropped for the attachment to stay within size specs. :)

Looks like the poor creature met up with some sort of toxic spill in the ocean. I like it.

thought i would take pity on the poor creature

Not a nice thing to do... I wove him into a basket (Eye Candy 3.1 Weave filter). :)

Nice, Danny!

I just added some extreme grain to the turtle.

I am trying out the ArtMasterPro demo. I used the watercolor wizard on the turtle.

Had a quick go at the turtle. Ran Kai Pyramid Effect in Painter to simplify picture then used Painter grainy wash camel brush for a Filter. (wet watercolor layer after raising canvas to watercolor layer) with paper set to French Watercolor. Added light effects in PHotoshop. Action for background.
