This species is known as the Scorpicrocodillo. it has the body of an armadillo, the head of a crocodile, and the tail and pincers of a scorpion. I came up with this idea by thinking: "what if the crocodile was more mobile?" so i gave the crocodile a shell that it can roll around in. But then i thought it needed to be even more intimidating, so I gave it a scorpion tail and pincers.
my biggest problem for this project was getting the added pieces to look like they belong there. Fortunately, the armadillo has a distinct shell, so I used the shell texture and clone stamped pieces that I felt would have that shell texture, like the tail and the top of the head. If I could change something, it would have to be that realistically, the tail would need to be bigger in order to sting anything, but I think it still looks good at this size.
