The Ocean Breathes Salty

Way too many hours have been put into this baby... woah.

I owe =kengiroo that drawing since July, I think. I really wanted to do something big, so I spent a lot of time on the lineart, started it over a few times because the angle was too complex. Then school started and this was on hiatus because I didn't want to rush it in-between all the homework. I guess waiting that long was a good thing because it looks better than it would have last summer

Colouring it was also difficult and long. I restarted the wood textures ten times or something because it never ended up like I wanted it to (it still doesn't, but it's not that bad I suppose). To make things worse, my computer died on me yesterday evening while I was finishing it up so I lost a part of it I had to start up again. Yay! I don't know why the machine still works this morning...

There are probably several angle and lighting errors but hey, bear with me, I haven't drawn anything like this in ages. Plus I've drawn the ship only relying on my memory and I know I'm not a pro when it comes to ships. (Thanks to Dreamworks' Sinbad, it didn't turn out that bad, heh.) I'm proud of it at least.
