it's getting there, definately got some character this one.

From the screens though i'd say you've got far too many polys for the shell, you should be able to get a similar result with half that, not so much a problem at the moment but it could result in one if you're planning on animating this little dude.

Looking good though, i do like the idea of him wearing the shell as an item of clothing user added image

Thanks for the comments. I am going to try and model John Travolta's outfit from Saturday Night fever because I want to animate my turtle just like the scene where John is walking down the street and that awesome music is playing.

I am stuck on how to create this effect for my texture. See the picture below of the Over the Hedge Turtle well I am trying to mimic the color scheme. I want to know how to create the greenskin with a highlight of brown on it. Any help would be appreciated. THanks.
