    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):

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