When Paradox suggested I draw a turtle, my mind of course immediately thought of the genus
teenagus mutantis. That was too obvious, so I started thinking of something more composed.
Then she said "Really, with the head and limbs retracted, they're basically a rock."
And then it clicked. This is a Zen master turtle, who is as a rock in his zen garden.
This is one of those pics that is about a tenth as cool as I want it to be, but it will do for now. I must now atempt some Zen of my own, in order to attain sleep.
