for those of you that may not know, I LARP. I do leatherwork and I also make my own shields. I was planning on making a turtle shell shield so I did some sketches to see what style I'd like most.

This is the design I came up with for a more "tradional" turtle shell design, more tortoise like, really. I just don't want it to yell TMNT cosplay so it will be muted greens and mostly browns.

Should I go with this one or one of the other shells like the sea turtle shell?
