Digital illustration of an Archelon.
#paleoart #speeddrawing
Archelon is an extinct marine turtle from the Late Cretaceous, and is the largest turtle ever to have been documented, with the biggest specimen measuring 4.6 m (15 ft) from head to tail and 2.2-3.2 t (2.4-3.5 short tons) in body mass.
Archelon had a leathery carapace instead of the hard shell seen in most sea turtles. The carapace may have featured a row of small ridges, each peaking at 2.5 or 5 cm (1 or 2 in) in height. It had an especially hooked beak and its jaws were adept at crushing, so it probably ate hard-shelled crustaceans, mollusks, and possibly even sponges, while slowly moving over the seafloor.
With its large and strong foreflippers, Archelon was likely able to produce powerful strokes necessary for open-ocean travel and, if need be, escape from fellow marine predators. It inhabited the northern Western Interior Seaway, a mild to cool temperate area, dominated by plesiosaurs, hesperornithiform seabirds, and mosasaurs.
The holotype measures 352 cm (11.5 ft) from head to tail, with the head measuring 60 cm (2 ft), the neck 72 cm (2.4 ft), the thoracic vertebrae 135 cm (4.4 ft), the sacrum 15 cm (0.5 ft), and the tail 70 cm (2.3 ft). The largest specimen, Brigitta, measures around 4.6 m (15 ft) from head to tail and 4.0 m (13 ft) from flipper to flipper and, in life, weighed around 2.2-3.2 t (2.4-3.5 short tons). Skulls of Archelon measured at up to 100 cm (3.3 ft).

I love how you started with very basic shapes and molded the shape out of it. you went over it like a fine liner. you started with very solid colours. and then you really took off from there. the attention to detail that slowly becomes clearer and clearer is incredible. it felt like you started with spray paint and played around with having that in two colours to get that spotted skin effect. you just started shading in, some parts are blurred. you just have layers of that. and then you sketch very lightly and clean up the imperfections in the shading. these are just some of my observations ~ ^^
Very beautiful, excellent job, David!! 👍👏👌❤️
