Free Vector Tortoise Plus The Sacred Turtle

I needed an illustration for an article about The Sacred Turtle and looked around for a free vector graphic. As usual, I couldn't find one. So I made my own tortoise vector to turn into a digital image for the illustration, and as it was actually a lot more tricky than I thought it was, decided to share my tortoise vector with others who are in need of such a thing ...

You can see both the links to the free tortoise vector images in .ai and .xar and my "Sacred Turtle" design here.
