in the process of trying to get my Instagram up to date with all my old art (for archival purposes lol) I realised I don’t think I ever posted this to tumblr?? So I’m now fixing this most egregious error, please forgive me 😭😭
Back in 2023 @saltyspitt00n sent me some pics of leucistic sea turtles and I was ✨i n s p i r e d✨… this is Lucy, the leucistic Green Sea Turtle! (yeah, I wasn’t in a creative names mood…)
She’s tall and she’s beefy! She got that swimmer’s build: broad shoulders and big thighs. Leucistic and albino animals in nature are far more vulnerable to predation than their wild-type (regular coloured) counterparts, and Lucy is no exception: she’s been roughed up and attacked more than her fair share, and has the scars to show it. yes that is a shark bite on her wrist.
She trained herself to fight to defend herself, wielding a bident scavenged from the seabed near an underwater portal to the Hidden City. Neither she nor her weapon have any mystic abilities, but she’s a truly fierce and formidable opponent nonetheless!
