I was in the mood to make a new piratey picture, and after looking through a bunch of Howard Pyle's artwork and *AilinStock's stock gallery, I found the perfect inspiration. This picture is based on this stock photo. I drew it in brown pencil and then painted over it with ink washes on an 18"x24" piece of watercolor paper. Then I scanned it into my computer and painted in the rest of the colors in Photoshop. The finished picture measures 20"x30". It was completed in May of 2007.
Many thanks to for providing such wonderful stock images and for giving me permission to base an illustration on one of their photos!
Prints of this are now available!
A behind the scenes look at this picture can be seen right here.
I actually wasn't familiar with that painting, so thank you for sharing it! And after seeing that painting, I'm extremely flattered - that's very high praise. So thank you!
Love this one! I think you actually captured the Howard Pyle style yet made it your own!

`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More

Waits to bring me down
Drown me in its waves
Still I have no doubt
This meaning of life"
