This incredible TurtleTank character is the creation of Jeroen Backx. Clearly he is an amazing [3D media and motion artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1). The character is creatively conceptualized, with an impeccably executed video to boot.

Jeroen Backx's TurtleTank has a steampunk look that makes it a wicked [reptile character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-the-gathering-x-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles). Looking like it's about to muck stuff up, this turtle would probably wreck some major havoc. Do you think this Jeroen Backx creature could hold its own against [fellow reptilian Blastoise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kt2-kungfu-turtle)?
