I had a blast doing this design. It was both extremely fun and very frustrating at the same time. It was fun for the obvious reasons that I finally got to do a pirate themed illustration! The frustrating part was that it was generally difficult to do- the pirate ship was tricky to render because it had so many small pieces. Not to mention the size of the entire art! Yikes! But Im just so happy how this turned out as I really gave it my best. :))

This is a really cool "good vs." evil themed design for a client. What I liked about this particular design was the use of multiple organic elements that I think made this particular piece soft to look at. I wanted to avoid making it look harsh and aggressive, as I thought I wanted to portray beauty in this overall design. My favorite part was really the use of candles on the lower part of the design- it's something I never even thought of before, but it definitely works here. I also really like the angel is pointing to the heavens, saying "it's never to late to change your ways". I think it's a great message for all the people out there who are in search for something for the better.
