Description
zomg, Dan is doing fan art!
yes, I did. and boy did I enjoy it. The reason for that lies in the nature of the character, though, I certainly wouldn't want to paint fan art all my life.
About two weeks ago I was browsing various visual effects news and sites and reading through a couple of articles when by chance I came by this shot of the Pirates of the Carribean movie, and I immediately felt the urge to try and paint it. I planned to just give it an hour or two to see what I could do with it, and after that time I had the picture pretty much roughed out and from there I just kept refining it, which was a lot of fun.
I don't plan to do more fan art, really, but y'know, never say never. In any case this has been a fun change from my usual scenery and landscapes, and I hope you don't mind that.
In the end I just want to make clear that the Davy Jones character is an amazing creation of the superb team of ILM, and the film and all its contents is of course Β© by Walt Disney Pictures.
Am looking forward to the 3rd movie, I hope it will be as enjoyable as its prequels.
This said, I hope you do enjoy this piece, too, comments and critiques are welcome
Daniel

At first I thought that this was brilliant, and that there was no point in writing the critique because it was simply amazing. However, then I compared it to the link you gave (to the original photo), I decided to critique, so here goes.
First of all, I'd like to stress that `memod created a lovely atmosphere, and that the expression of Davy Jones is very fitting and conveys his emotions very effectively. And fits with his character too, if I may add. I love the use of colour - the green/blue on the eye and the hint of purple on the tentacle, but I feel that in some places there is a lack of detail, especially after comparing to the original photo.
For example, I think the eye is done beautifully - the texture of the skin is very well mirrored, however, even before I saw the original I felt that more details (sea anemones etc) would have been nice on the hat, and on the lower parts of the tentacles.
Overall, an amazing pieice, and like I said, without the original photo, the slight lack of details is hardly noticeable.

Hey, thanks a lot for your critique 
But yeah, I agree, getting all this photographic detail into the painting wasn't easy, and there are certainly places where I wasn't successful with that
Thank you!

Ein sehr schΓΆnes, detailreiches Bild (wie ΓΌbrigens alle anderen auch) & mit Abstand mein Liebstes aus der
Leider bin ich erst jetzt dazu gekommen, mir auch alle Werke zu betrachten.
Aber zurΓΌck zum Bild (um von meinem VersΓ€umnis abzulenken...): Es sieht exakt so aus wie im Film - Besonders die Augen & vor allem der Schimmer darin, der ausdrΓΌckt: "Jack Sparrow, ich kriege dich..." ist einfach...
: 'Captain' Jack Sparrow bitteschΓΆn!"
Ja, richtig... 'Captain' Jack Sparrow.
Wie konnte ich nur...
Nun, ich glaube, ich beende das Lob an dieser Stelle erst einmal. - Sonst wird von Jack noch nachgefragt, wo der Rum hin ist.
Liebe GrΓΌΓe & bis zum nΓ€chsten Bild,
Shonali

Oh really??? I have a piano too and I know some music! *-* Some I don't know at all xD but I love to play with youtube's tutorials that's awesome!! And too, my sister played in a orchestra and they played the principal song! I cried of happiness!
I loveeee sparrow!!! <3

Hehe well my brother had bought the sheet music, so I can now play some of these songs right off the notes, which is cool =] Just love the themes in that soundtrack
But playing it with an orchestra is of course much more intense
You should definitely give those songs a go =] They're fun

Oh, I know that kind of people -___- sometimes you don't feel great and confortable with yourself when you have people like that beside you... Or you try to smile or laugh, and it's became bad.... :/

Oh I wouldn't let that worry me. It's just strange though, that people always try so hard to be in a bad mood. Usually things aren't half as bad as they make'em out to be. I'm usually quite cheery
