Nice atmosphere

Hi "DaVinci", and "Gillie", and "PS".....Thank you all very much for your nice comments....I really do appreciate it. "Gillie".....I just added the texture to the sails, because I thought that might make them look better.....but I guess you're right....a real pirate ship wouldn't have textured sails......I might try changing that. Also their shirts.....I might try changing them too.....to make them look more like pirate shirts. Thank you very much for your comment, and for pointing those things out to me......I always appreciate constructive criticism.....it helps me to learn what I'm doing wrong, and to try to do better. I'm really glad that you all like this picture, and thanks again for all of your comments. :)

These pictures of yours just get better and better firecracker. Amazing!

hope I am not offending but....I would try just smudging the textures just a little....not doing all of the area but parts and see what that would look like. Not exactly sure, but I think that might work, you can always undo if it doesn't do the trick. thanks fire for not getting mad at me, but this piece is sooooooo good otherwise.

I agree with QT. It's a fantastic piece, but the pirates look a bit like they were just 'placed' onto the gorgeous background. Bravo for your persistence in the time it took to create this one, wow!!

Hi "Gillie".....well I tried smudging the sails a wee bit......I think it looks better....what do you think? I didn't do the shirts yet....I'll try that later. Noooo, I never get mad at anyone for giving me "constructive criticism".....I appreciate any suggestions, or criticism from anyone on my draws. That's the only way to find out what you can do to make your draws better. "Thanks"!!! :) Hi "Gel-o", and "Suntan", and "MissDJ"...thank you all for your nice comments...I really appreciate it. "MissDJ".......I didn't really spend as much time on this draw as is "posted".....I dilly dally around so much when I'm doing a draw.....and I leave the computer to do other things, then I come back to the draw....and so on and so forth...."LOL"!! It did take me a long time to complete this draw though....but not as long as is "posted". Yeah....I agree with you about the pirates.....they do sorta look like they were placed there......but I don't know how to "fix" that. I don't know where else to put them. Captain Jack is standing amongst all the foliage, and the other pirate is kneeling there, holding onto the torch. Do you have any suggestions of how I can fix them? I don't think I can do it..."LOL"!! I'm just glad I'm done with this draw...it was makin' me crazy!!! Thanks again for all of your comments....I appreciate it. :)

Very pretty and well done :)

Thank you "Pantera" for your nice comment....I appreciate it. :)

Wow...this is really good...well done....:)

Hi "Gloworm".....thank you very much for your nice comment....I appreciate it. I still might do some more work on this picture......but I'm just too tired to bother with it now. Thanks for your comment!! :)
