Description

This is a quick (for me...) drawing I did on an envelope. I was asked out of nowhere to do something for someone from the marine unit, so not much thought/planning went into it.

I was originally going to do a regular boat but that was too dull and normal for me, so I did a pirate ship instead. It's vaguely marine-related, right? :p

The idea actually came to me when I just looked over to my right in my office and saw the colouring poster of a pirate ship someone gave me as a joke. Thanks!

I don't know how to draw ships, so I just hastily designed this after getting the general idea of what a ship could look like from some reference pictures. I know it's not really accurate. I had fun doing it though, once I got over the hurdle of worrying how to draw a ship and just actually started doing it.

Some of the reference pictures had a LOT of those line things going from all the pole and sail things (I have no idea what the proper terms are). I took that idea and kinda turned them into spider web-like things and broken lines since I was going for more of a "ghost" pirate ship thing.

Bonus points for anyone that recognized the Emil flag. :laughing:

Yey, this is a cool ship! I really love it! Sometimes spontaneous often turnes out really cool. I love all the detail, like the textures of wood and all the rope. Also I really like how you did the sun/moon with all the construction lines, it looks amazing. I think it's accurate enough and looks amazing, what more would anyone want. And you taking time to create it, it's really nice:) You also did really well on making the railing similar parts in too layers, the background just being lines and the other actually a bit more detailed. yah. Really geat work, I like it a looot.
