Turtle Model

    I've started modeling a box turtle. There are two main uses that I have in mind for it. For one, I want to create a stone sculpture with it. After that, I would like to make some animated turtles. To do this, I'm going to create a base model that's as accurate as possible and then modify it for these two purposes. 

    So far, I've created a block out and started sculpting it in ZBrush. Next I'm going to work on matching the legs and claws to my reference images. After that, I will sculpt in some textural details, such as scales and the patterns on the shell. Hopefully this works out. I think the turtle will add a little more life to the scene.
