The figures were taken at our local pirate festival - you've seen the main character in a slightly different pose previously as he strolled along the prom. The ship is in Charlestown, UK and you've seen her too. The base background is done with a cloud brush, picking colours from the subject and the orb shapes are a texture/light layer taken inside our car - they're oof highlights off the dash or steering wheel I think. Over the lot is another texture layer consisting a shot of a roller blind. It's good to have Piet Franke commenting again in our section (as well as contributing images of course). He prodded me into thinking of adding texture in my last post, which started me on this one. Any critique is welcome and appreciated.
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
And the palace in the sun.

Perhaps just a tiny bit too closely cropped in my perception, but the artwork is top notch! . .
