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.

just as a side note, no large ships can pass between the IOW needles and the mainland because it isn't dredged deep enough.
hence why all of the forts out in and around the solent are positioned to deffend portsmouth (where i live) from attacks by sea from the east entrance to the solent.

just wanted to say that, in case you dint know it =P

As Mr. Burns would say, "Excellent painting!" It is. Have you ever done one of a naval disaster. This one makes me recall one only four years later off Tripoli, with the loss of 358 Bluejackets and the Admiral Commander in Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet: the Victoria - Camperdown Collision. I notice only one picture on Deviant dealing with it, and it shows the Victoria as she is now, at 90 degree angle into the Mediterranean seabed. In actuality, Victoria is in better condition followng her collision than Titanic is after her's.

15 Hours- Well, I have to give you a credit. Even If I am a pencil artist, I really don't think my sanity would withstand 15 hours of work on one piece of art.

I am like Leonardo da Vinci - I waste my potential on worthless experiments.

And I already hate that stupid DA nick of mine - Why I can never come up with a subtle one? I have to boast with something? I mean Damn!

Nice! Ironclads are totally awesome!

Your storm and choppy waves are very well-done, technically. They also really give the picture a sense of foreboding and danger - the two intrepid ships, leaving the "clear skies" behind and entering a dark period of danger. Totally badass!
