Artist's Comments

A rather boring-ish portrait of a roleplaying character of mine. The bit I do like is the background. William here is head barkeep at a little pub operating out of a grounded whaling ship located in the bizarre city of Hanghorse - The Beached Whale be its name, yar. That'd be it yonder, mooning ye with its awkward rudder and cute, grinning whale sign.

Ye colours be too, too saturated for the time o' day, yarr, but I do like the water, aye. Yarrrrr.

Wow, that's really excellent! Amazing background and lighting (and I agree, his upper body doesn't quite match the saturation of the rest of the picture, but I kinda like the idea of him being picked out by a sunbeam, and it draws the eye to him), lovely relaxed pose and expression, and I love the idea of a bar in a beached whaling ship :>

Your backgrounds always floor me. How do you have the patience for them? I'd drive myself mad with this much detail. The water is especially gorgeous.

I'm not the most articulate person around, so I'll just say that I like this piece a lot and not try to explain why, 'cause I'll just sound silly trying to do so.
