attempt two at coloring these lines and I'm much happier with this design! I even turned it into a little species.

The painted or speckled turtle dog is a reptillian egglaying mammal. They live in and around water, eating fish, small amphibians and waterbirds and their eggs. They are around 4 feet long and weigh around 70 pounds. They lay their eggs in eggmounts, much like crocodiles.

They have a throat sack which they can inflate to expose colorful membranes and produce a booming sound.
