The lines at work can be interpreted as the lines on the turtle shell with outline the shape of the
shell. All other parts of the art work are pictures from the internet all spliced together.
The colors depicted in this picture all very cold colors as the setting is in space since the
Turandaguin is a celestial being and resides in the clouds of space. The white clouds deep blue
earth and piecing blue eyes make the picture very cold and calm.
The picture is an asymmetrical photo in front where the animal is and the background is
symmetrical with the earth in the background.
The safety of the earth protected from aliens and giving wisdom to space
travelers who seek guidance through the space time continuum.
I really like the Turandaguin because the name works and I did a good
job photoshoping it together and bluring the animals in such a way that
you can still tell it is a doctored photo but it still looks cool.
