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

    When it first opened up, it rolled downwards and I thought he was skydiving.
