April encounters some strange turtles.
Everyday I think about how cute irl turtles are and yearn to hug them. I'm coping by drawing April doing it instead.

I never mow the patches of English daisies, not so much for the bees, as for her to see something pretty when walking around.

I found a bunch of pictures from my last job working with wild fish and I figured some of you critter-lovers would enjoy them
The angriest red-eared slider I've ever seen
mmmmmMMMMWWAAAAAAAHHH! (paddlefish)
A northern pike. These were always hard to work with because they're super slippery.
Grasp it firmly in your hand (paddlefish)
"I told you, mom, it's not just a phase!" (bighead carp)
Long, long man (longnose gar)
The biggest smallmouth buffalo we caught
The size of this lad (bighead carp)
That's a cute kitty (channel catfish I think)
Softshell turtles wake up every morning and choose violence. This one was trying to bite my finger off as I was taking its picture.
I've never seen a grouchy pancake before (softshell turtle)
Most turtles are chill. Snapping turtles are angry enough to for the rest of them
A freshwater drum. These guys make a grunting noise when they're upset
A bucked o' snoots. Pretty sure we were collecting these so fish and wildlife could tag and release them. (paddlefish)
A water snake
A juvenile gar. Just as pointy as the adults
I have apprehended the criminal
A bigger drum. This was more around the size we usually caught
A very shiny river carpsucker
A very mossy man (red-eared slider)
Anyone want to play darts? (longnose gar)
Looking very dignified (painted turtle?)
Take this, it will be important in your quest (common carp)

More adventures with demutated turtles. I can't get over when basking sliders and softshells stretch out their legs, it looks so silly and cute.
Mikey's behavior is inspired by videos I've seen of box turtles climbing up their owners for... affection? Or maybe just a bite.

New sketches figuring out a redesign of Myrtle, who will be introduced in chapter 3! She is a courageous band manager, a sincere friend, tour bus driver and mechanic…this little hippie turtle (ask her about her time at Woodstock) does it all, and definitely deserves a raise. She needs assistance with her endless list of tasks, and she will find that help in the form of a certain small punk cat…

Top 5 reptiles in gross excruciating detail
Boy oh boy it's show time!
Ball Python
Yes I know that's basic bitch taste, but LOOKATIM. CUTIEPATOOTIE
A generally well-size snake, and I adore all the colors they can have! So pretty to look at. I specially love em big snoots. Literally owo-ing 24-7, what else can I ask for?
Galapagos
Just a big ass guy. Look at him. HUGEEEE individual.
Honestly I don't really know, I just think it's cool that there are turtles the size of dogs. My man is titanic. Honestly, if I had the space I would LOVE to house one of these guys (don't let em near dogs, I just thought that pic was a good size approximation)
Satanic leaf tail
LOOK AT HIM, this guy is metal AF and I love everything of it. The heads shape is SOOOOOO fun and I love animals that camouflage. Their tiny Lil feetsies are so CUTE, and I adore their eyes with them tiny pupils. I'm never forgiving treecko for making this concept into "just some guy" who then turns into a generic-ass Dino, so much potential wasted. I gotta give em justice some day and make an honest to god dark-grass type fakemon. Or maybe even just dark-something and the grass is a lurantis scenario.
Chrysopelea
Ok but picture this:
A snake
That fucking GLIDES
Bitch goes in top of trees and then just fucking JUMPS and GLIDES for half a kilometer and then lands unharmed and repeats again. Because that's her locomotion method. Girl just JUMPS from high places and does aerodynamic shit and boom, ur 200 meters from where you started. Metal af
RES
Ok I KNOW this one is polemic, specially knowing they are driving to extinction an endemic species over here, BUT JUST LOOK AT EM
I just adore these guys, all from their silly lil-permanently angry faces to their marking and asking patterns, to the vibrancy of their "ears" marks, just such guys. I also adore how when babies they are such a soft emerald hue but they start getting more and more dark as they age and once they are adults they are all these mixes of rich forest green with light olive green strikes in their shells, they are sosososoooo pretty
Cameo of my Lil guy Olivo being eepy because I adore him to bits
Also a pic of the afro mentioned almost extinct endemic species, because I felt like it. We have some at the zoo and we just went a course on how to teach the public on why it's important to care for em and all that jazz. Pretty cool ngl
sorry for taking so long to asnwer! i just got hit by "honestly i dont really wanna do anything rn ngl" diseas and had to rest for 2 days. Have a painting of my doggo as compensation
