Bonsai Tortoise Sculpture

This is a thread just for this project a sculpture of a tortoise with crystals and bonsai on it's back. I found a Easter Box Turtle (Tortise) shell replica in a junk shop that's really well done. I'm going to faux bronze the shell and then sculpt in the tortoise. I bought a crystal on ebay, hopefully it will be the right size when it arrives. I'm going to sculpt some bonsai trees on him as well. I have to wait for the supplies to come in before I can really get started.

Concept Art (not going to add the crystals on the head):

Saw this sketch on IG, I'm really excited to see this one come to life!

As someone who has been learning to grow bonsai trees for about 4 years now, I'm excited to see this progress. :)

Thanks guys! this one should be fun! Just waiting on the crystal to get in! Heehee.

I've had two bonsai for about three years now, I'm very proud they are still alive!

I'm pretty new here, so not familiar with your work. Excited to see this piece though!

Ooooooo so exciting!! I wish I had time to be this creative :) I'll like through all your artwork though
