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!

An artist..a human being,profoundly human to the core..isnt capable of loving until he forgets himself and sacrifices himself if necessary if he wont put down his magic brush and head the fight against the oppressor,then he isnt a great artist"DiegoRiver
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

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