Artist's Comments
Just when I thought I couldn't take any longer to draw one of these I found a way. Draw it like it's actually sailing. Boy, that adds some time to the project (as does moving house, planning a wedding, getting a new job, Christmas....)
This is based on a Rolla class brig of about 1807. The Royal Navy had dozens of these brigs or classes very similar. It's actually the same type of vessel that HMS Beagle was, before numerous refits changed her whole appearance. The set of the sails is actually a test for a miniature shipbuilding project coming up. If I drew this ship like I normally would, the foremast stuns'ls would have obscured most of the bowsprit, and just look dead odd to boot. Photoshop 7, Wacom tablet. |

 reports, 1d 8h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.67 So i herd u liek emotes?? - Volume 58`Synfull

Hitting Download took me to the full size image with all its great detail. The fabulous shading creates the look of sunlight on this incredibly well-drawn ship.

Even though I consider myself a fan of the navy in it's later, "shell versus plate" era, I must say I have a soft spot for the sloops of war of the Napoleonic era, and this is one of the best drawings on the subject I've seen in a long, long time.

No really, I don't.
Seriously now, stop looking down here.
Thanks for the fave and for adding me to your friends list. Much appreciated.
