Concept Art Factory Challenge

So the Concept Art Factory is hosting another sketch challenge where students will be redesigning characters from the Neverending Story. I chose to do Morla for my design, so far it is only in sketch phase. I will be developing the sketches further as I find time away from my internship with SCA Transporation Consultants.

Morla is a depressed turtle so I tried to make the shapes curve down. The shell has to seem heavy and burdensome while the face is long according to the expression "why the long face".
