Ragtag Futuristic Pirate Leader

[Dodge]

Its been a while since i posted here actually ive popped back now and again and as always seen great artwork.

This was done for a draw off on another forum, the topic was ragtag futuristic pirates. I worked from an origional sketch and design to this piece. I still will go back and work on this some more but at the mo ive already been to hell and back once:D

Yeh hit me with it comments crits etc

Hey neat!! Great concept and I love the colors! :)

Although it looks like you have a couple of Neanderthals driving the boat. :)

My first thought:

Santa Goes Wild!

If it's not supposed to be a psychotic Santa Claus, I'd change the colors or lose the fur lining. Way too evocative of Chris Cringle otherwise.

I was thinking it being more of a psychotic arctic mountain climber gone postal! :) Keep it up!!

Shade1978:Thanks, and yeh the neanderthals are there to hopefully make the leader look more leaderlike in comparison. Nice work you been posting recently too btw:cool:

JSpektr:Heh, oh if you only you knew how many ppl have ribbed me about this looking like santa, the final straw that broke the camels back, and i took an exec decision to change he now has an orange jumpsuit:D

I dont like it as much personally but i cant ignore the santa referances so its what ill go with, i think the red suited the other colours better and brought him out of the background more.

Trust me, if I were Santa and every year I had to deliver presents to billions of brats, I'd eventually go postal too, have a couple of cavemen boat me to the nearest pier and start whoopin' ass, Terminator style! :)

That's funny.. I saw the title and thought.. hmm, could it be, and yeah, I saw this picture just a few minutes ago on the AGS forums.

Talk about coincidence. Another person who frequents both forums. :D

hehe yeh i know a lot of people who frequent two or more boards i visit small world. Kinda strange when it first happens but when you think about it rpg's and adventure games share a lot in common.

I know it aint the done thing to dig threads up from the grave but i got this one finished now and want to put it to rest. I learned a lot and made a lot of mistakes, hell im gonna notch it down to experience.
