Because I wanted to express something about Marine pollution and harm to Marine life through this project, the original role was set to be a sea turtle. But the sea turtle’s limbs are not designed for a character that walks upright.
So I designed the turtle’s feet to stand well and its hands to have four fingers. This is the reference I found when designing a turtle. This reference has the limbs of a turtle that I like, but the head and neck of this turtle have some elements of a snake. I hope my turtle will be more cute.
This is my turtle design.
