Ahoy Mates, scallywags and vermin alike. Today's image started out as nothing, just a few lines here and there and before too long I was on a journey, an adventure, a quest. That's right a quest for THE BLACK PEARL. The meanest, most devious ship to ever haunt the waters of Port Royal. I've just recently seen Pirates of the Caribbean 2 which was unbelievable in my opinion. Never mind the 5 hours worth of extras on the DVD (well worth watching if you like to see how much thought and artistry go into a movie like this, not to mention the physical labor). I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. I drew this entire image in the Sketchpad section of my site, but the skull and words are of course a photoshop addition. I hope you enjoy this image and to those hardcore Pirates fans out there that will look at this image and say "That ship doesn't look exactly like the Black Pearl", I didn't look at an image of the Pearl when I did this. It's all out of my head. So in true Pirates fashion I choose to invoke "Parlay"….
