What a fantastic storybit to accompany the art! I'm loving seeing his development.
Your sense of light and shadow in the background is also really glorious (I love how you were able to smooth out the coloured pencils.) The pose on Adrian is great, too: it looks like he's .5 seconds away from leaping over, which is really cool.
Thanks so much, Dray! I am a little less happy with this one. I feel like I should have put more into the background, but the ships were giving me grief… I gave up (I know, out of character for me)
Nothing wrong with taking a stab at something and then moving on if you're feeling blocked. Heck, maybe you could save this for next year's talk-like-a-pirate-day and try again to see what progress you've made! (That way you can also put it off for a full year, haha)
