Shell
I’m currently working on a larger piece with grenades…while sketching and doing studies I came out with this little piece. 15×10cm, watercolour/conte/chalk pastel & pen on canvas.
I thought this time, I’d upload my (very silly) first sketch of it. I changed him a wee bit after then.
Detail (much bigger than life size):
Turtle grenades, goin off in ya face!! BOOM

Wow, very cool, Like the goggles as well.
When it first opened up, it rolled downwards and I thought he was skydiving.

He could be! He pulls the pin about 100m from the ground, BOOM

IN New orleas I saw a man in a granade fatsuit… he looked just like this except his head was sticking out the other way…
Firedrake replied
A grenade fatsuit? Who would make such a thing?
Incognita
Those USA-ians are wacky creative …marketeers. He was advertising the local cocktail specialty…from its (observed) effects it was extremely aptly named… after one or 2 people behaved as tho’ their brain had exploded… NO is one of the few places where it is apparently de riguer to wander the streets clutching a large fluro-plastic yardglass object full of booze.

Looks like they carry more than just their homes on their backs :P Haha, I never realised that a turtle’s shell looked like a grenade. Hopefully enough time to run before it goes off!
