This is beautiful , very well created sea turtles swimming in the blue water, interesting placement of the two turtles, well shaped with good show of their structures, well chosen and applied colors.
I have seen these large turtles in Hawaii abd they are truly amazing!
Well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Thank you so much for your great review! Its funny that you commented on the placement as I have often thought that I placed the front turtle a bit too close to the fin of the farther turtle... Very cool that you've had the chance to see them up close! I hope to have that opportunity on a cruise coming up, doing a snorkeling adventure off the coast of Haiti!

Thank you so much for the great review! Yes, I totally agree.. in retrospect, I would have had them farther apart or overlapping.. the fin is too close to his head..

The amount of detail here is extraordinary, I can feel the turtle looking out at me, you drew the eye superbly. The motion in the water is also portrayed very well. Lovely colours and an eye catching design.

Thank you so much for the great review.. I appreciate your feedback on the motion in the water as this is the element that I was most critical of as I did this piece...

Your artwork evokes a sense of wonder and appreciation for nature's creatures.Each brushstroke tells a story of these magnificent turtles under water. Good luck!

Thank you for the great review and the kind words.. I appreciate that you mentioned that my work tells a story.. the back story is always as important to me as the work itself.

You did a fine job at that, of the whole composition, the simple lines in the background and the detailed turtles in detail, the texture coming through well of the skin and shell. Outstanding ink drawing, color.

Love the colors and the details in this. The strokes you used for the movement of water is very innovative. The dedication to details makes this a wonderful work. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the great feedback about the water technique.. I was very indecisive as I worked on this piece.. but when I stepped back, i liked the overall effect.

Cool!
I enjoy seeing artwork that centers on a Herpetological theme and I think that your pleasantly colorful depiction of these two marine chelonians looks terrific!
'Good Show',my friend!

Comment from soulfeeder
Such a beautiful artwork created just in ink. The details and choice of colors are pretty realistic and well-thought. I can see how you've worked pretty hard for those "tiniest details in the texture of the skin and shell". High drawing skills and techniques. This deserves a SIX!
