Awesome detail here... I've always been fascinated by large ship such as these but was always too overwhelmed by the details to attempt drawing them.
You did an incredible job here.

hahah well give it a try! you do have to remember everything as you go along though - especially sails and rigging - its best to start with them!

Man, I'm sure I'll give it a whirl some time, but it's tough stuff... I've always love those scenes...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah do try it though! its really satisfying - but so mind numbing - the waves alone are enough to send you mad!

Man... I know all the pains and joys of high end detailed images... Usually the joy is felt after the image is done, and the pain keeps you from ever wanting to do it again... It's rather traumatic sometimes... *sobs*

Can I sign up? That is all sorts of shades of awesome!

*laughs* I just thought being a captain (oh heck, I'd even settle for deckhand) in the Dream Squadron would be a great fantasy to indulge in.
I ought to join the Military Academy though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah! do it! i reckon you'd fit in perfectly with the dream squadron - the serious one AND the comedy one (pratts of the carribbean) especially if you do them 'deadpool' stylee
join the military academy if you like - not much goes on there im afraid :S
