Artist's Comments

One quick personal painting, think its time to leave the sailships for some time.
I really like ironclad ships, wonders of the victorian engineering. Most of them never fough in any war, but their look is impresive. This battleships were the most advanced machines build in 19th century.
My other goal is to make a stormy sea, so you can tell me how it looks. And I really like the location on the picture, it is the Solent straigt near Needles in South England.

The whole picture was done in some 4 evenings about 15 hours together. Just photoshop and wacom intouos+some photos of the ships for reference.

The lighting here was really used so well to give visual information and to set the mood! It is so nice to see such attention given to a class of ships that have faded out of our collective memory. You did a great job on this beautiful piece of work! :clap:

In terms of you're stormy sea. to me it looks like the beginning of a storm. Its a very difficult medium to get I suppose a true stormy sea would mean you'd barely see the ships which with them being the focale point of the piece would be counterprodutive I guess. The scene certainly doesnt look calm, though for stormy i'd almost be inclined to have one of the ships maybe the rear one (so as not to distract from the detail you've put into the main ship) with a wave come over its bow
