The shell from the hell

A loose warmup over one of old sketches I did when got a period obsession over trying to make Turtonator look "badass".
Maybe I'll nail it later, but knowing how many WIPs and artistic priorities I have, I cannot promiss anything over this one...

You might noticed it's not a generic realistic Turtonator, but an unnamed OC I drew once in much better way here:

Lately at the job I experience dealing with one guy that could be how I see that OC, but then....emotion, the truth and our personal effection towards
own OCs come in; see, I have one "bad behaving yet not villanious" OC, a Scrafty names Zuzy that even tends to mock over her own trainer not on purpose,
but simply from misunderstanding the cause and differences between her and her owner.

This Turtonator I have in my mind, however, is still undeveloped, but I want to go with similar route with it- it was behaving bad towards others
without meaning it- and then an OC will change after understanding the core problem(s) of its own. I know, a cliche happy-go-lucky ending wibe,
but that's for catharsis lesson behind.....welp, that's the concept which I cannot make. Luckily, this OC is planned for the future events, so I go easy on myself
and try to give myself time.

.....just enjoy the drawing. My mind has to be occupied with thoughts even while drawing, and so my thoughts here were:

having an explosive nature behind, he tends to be loud mouth and bring attention with his quarrels, spreading negative emotion like a smoke left after something burned up.
Ironically, he cannot stand an eye-to-eye conflict without any nasty advantages to ensure his win- that's why on the battlefield he adores to produce a lot of smoke
and wait for confused and pissed of target to come close enough for an easy attack.
Like a mata-mata turtle hunting in the murky waters, he lives in rather blurry background- starting as a rouge without any goals in life, competing for females out
of boredom, then wandering around with team Skull grunts to just cause trouble without any certain goal in mind. Once he got into the hands of a skillfull
and experienced trainer, this Turtonator became confused about its power and life goals that seemed like behind a thick smoke...
Every dragon Pokemon has a strong power towards the good and the bad- and each dragon type Pokemon can choose which path it will take through its life.

Will it give in to the anger over its inability to stay strong among other Pokemon and strong emotion bursting every now and then, or will it build a shell of self-control
after realizing what's the fire that keeps it alive?
