Completely true depiction of my adventures with a soft shell turtle, except Ben should be poking it wit a twig.
Sean had snagged this turtle instead of a catfish. I had to wade in to get it so we could get the hook out of him, but I grabbed it the wrong way round.
Now, soft shell turtles can extend their necks out, even more than other turtles. This one was the size of a hubcap and could stretch his neck about nine or ten inches.
So Sean decides it is a photo opportunity, I'm trying to keep the turtle from taking a chunk out of me, and the turtle is getting frustrated.
eventually we got the hook out and let the turtle go. But now I'm gonna try to get my cousin's recipe for soft shell turtle.

I probably would have freaked out and dropped the poor thing *if i had gotten the nerve to even pick it up*
all in all great pic...super funny *i can almost see it happening*
Real life events are fun, but difficult to draw in my experience.
Glad you like it.
And if your friend was so anxious for a good close-up, you could've tossed him the turtle. Just a thought.
You always think up things you shoulda done, long after the event. I'll remember that next time though,
