Well, things certainly could be worse. True, being set adrift was no picnic, and it seemed as though a storm was starting up- with no land in sight. But at least seasickness was never a problem and there were plenty of fish about.

Yikes, help! Nicole this is really gorgeous - I love the dark, eerie mood and colors and his expression is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue texture of the background with the flat colors in front. Great story, too.

ReplyDeletegreat compositional eye. The boat and the waves. The hair and the foam. All work with and from each other. Nice work.
Wow! This is a fantastic voyage and illustration!
ReplyDeleteI came here via Andrew's blog. Your IF image is so on the mark. It looks scary too! I would be afraid if it was me on that boat. I love the clouds. What is your medium? It looks like the clouds are in oil.
ReplyDeleteWow! what an amazing illustration! Great movement and use of color. Great waves! :D

ReplyDeleteActually, the entire piece is painted in gouache over a layer of acrylic. Then I go back in with colored pencil to sharpen the edges.
I really love the froth you made over those waves. GO gouache!
