Artist's Comments

I hate the idea of filing this under Digital Work since it's equal parts traditional technique and digital work, but... oh well.

... my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.

[...]

Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.


- Ulysses, by Lord Alfred Tennyson.



100 Pictures Challenge #92: All That I Have.

A rather rushed card (given the date of submission, you can surely guess what for). Or at least... how I would have liked to do the card in black ink wash if not for the fact that I finished the linework at two in the morning (most of the time was spent trying in vain to decipher the different rigging shown in different resources) and was too dead beat to do anything else with it. The original line drawing - done with 0.05mm and 0.2mm Medallion drawing pens - can be viewed here: [link]

The colours were digitally added (after the original had gone out), obviously.

Why ships? he likes 'em. So do I. That's as good a reason as any. ;)

Gorgeous! I love the textures. The sweeping style of the sky and the choppy waves really bring a feel of freedom on the open ocean. Cast off! I have been longing lately for the sea. I hope your dad loved his card.

Btw...my dad loved his card. ;) Thank you.
