Digital illustration of a tortoise with tall plants growing from it's back shell.

Garden Tortoise 2018

An illustration of a tortoise with foliage growing on it’s back that I created to be used as a graphic illustration, intended to be for print-on-demand products on Redbubble.

The colour palette of this piece was intentionally very limited. I wanted the monotone texture to be the highlight of this artwork and not care so much about making it look realistic.

Created using Clip Studio Paint with Wacom tablet.

Initial sketches and draft of the garden tortoise design.

The design was initially submitted to Redbubble in 2018 under the name MonoFishTank and then later removed. The artwork is available as downloadable clipart as part of a bundle at my digital downloads store.
