Concentration #2

The subject of my work is a snake in a turtle shell. The work was made with paper. I started out with forming newspaper, adding colored paper and then adding things like bells and beads. I chose to create this because I love character design. I don't like how it looks very messy. I used shape, color, form, texture and space in the piece.

I was originally going to have the snake be curled up in a ball or have it so you can see his eyes in the shell as he's hiding. I'm not really proud about the anatomy. It just looks so stiff and very straight and the anatomy isn't the best. But I still like how adorable it is.

There is no story or meaning behind this... Though, I guess you could say it's me when I'm sleeping, haha.
