Pirates from concept art group. Painting took forever so I dropped one of the characters in the sketch from the painting. Took a nice step toward developing a painting style that is comfortable for me which means using the hard round Photoshop brush at 60-70% opacity 99% of the time and cleaning up my idea BEFORE painting which I neglected to do with this. Also work from big to small unlike this painting. –Mental notes end.
