Description
bwaha it's a SPACE TURTAL (some website said that Chelonia is the latin name for the turtle family or something, and I believed it) which I've spent A MILLENIA doing because I never really found the inspiration after I finished the head..heh. Butanyways, it was HUGE so I made it into a wallpaper. ENJOY!Photoshop, Idon'tknowhowlong
(oh and I kudos to Vicar for helping me come up with the idea or something
)

*gasp* HOW THE HECK were you able to do all that detail without falling asleep from boredom??? (now, I'm not saying the pic is boring. It's quite...beautiful actually. It's just...surprising that someone can survive doing it.)

if you love giant turtles wandering trought space, you should LOVE the Discworld Series boosk by Terry Pratchett

Heheh, big fan of his already :3 you could say Pratchett is my English teacher, as his are the only books I intentionally read in English as they are funnier on the original language. Was partly inspired by him, too :3
Thanks for commenting!

Ah...turtles in space make me think of Stephen King's IT. This is really quite beautiful. The coloring is the most amazing part, although I would've put more color in the space part, like a dark purple black hole. Don't ask me why but for some reason my attention is drawn to the dust like cloud behind the turtle. Nice job!

quite a nice piece of work. don't fret over the background, as far as i'm concerned they aren't needed, lol. you've got some crazy talent, keep it up.

Indeed. The details are so crispy and much-telling, and everything kinda fits in; consedering it's a war turtle in outer space.

I see that this picture has gotten VERY LITTLE comments and a hell of TOO LITTLE than it deserves, WHATS GOING ON!? It DESERVES SO MUCH MORE COMMENTS!
This picture is in every way psalutely beautiful, it gives you a sense of being with the tutrle as if your in some kind of space craft and flying past it as it notices the tiny odd looking object near it and turns only a lazy eye to investigate, I just think this picture is wonderful and this comment doesnt give it its true justice (omg I sound like im sucking up -
Anyways, well freakin done!!!!!

Lovely! Lol I hope you don't get mad, but it reminds me of that turdle guy from the godzilla movies. XD It's just the first thing that came to mind. Though yours is a LOT better. Great detail job!

oh wow.. for some reason the creature reminds me of Treasure Planet! and i adore the background, as well as the turtle, definitely. you've blossomed so much in your art it makes me jealous. XD er.. not in a malicious way, mind.

Aaaaah! Ooooh!... it looks so wise, ancient, full of wisdom. That glow underneath, the yellow color, is WICKED. Making the feathered tips of it's fins look translucent like that was a good idea, and it's done very convincingly.
That's a nice background that you had made, too. The asteroid cluster belt was a splendid touch of creativity, this gives the picture something extra to feast your eyes on, even tho we know that the main attraction here is Chelonia.
I've made a starry sky like that before, I'd found a neat tutorial on it. That makes me think now, about why I haven't made another one after having only created one to see if I could or not, they're very cool. What is the vaporous substance there behind of Chelonia? I'm thinking that it's maybe some kind of nebula, but it also seems like the creature is emerging from the mist, too.

The turtle itself is completely awesome, especially the head. The background, however, isn't too great... But I don't blame you there. Drawing backgrounds sucks.
This is definitely being added to my favorites.
