Artist's Comments

--After a long journey to the mysterious isle of Haddross, the Deathwater Pirates began their final battle through the rugged seas of the north to shore. Misfortune however, were in their fate. Haddross had always been guarded by the legendary Ferrod Serpent Dragons, known for their utter destruction of trespassers. It seems the pirate's maps lacked the relatively unimportant information, and so their trusty vessel quickly morphed into a useless floating torch.--

What can I say? Dragons, boats, fire and pure destruction. I love painting these beasts.
About 25 hours (one of my longest)

The internet was meant for the free exchange of information and debate. The reality is merely a forum for obscure niche jokes. Al Gore would be pissed.

I take my pen, some paper, my phone so I'm avaible, put on my trainingclothes and go hide ninja style.

Cool, and its very different from your high-tech sci-fi stuff, it can be good to have variety whilist still keeping all the great details in each. Nice work :clap:

Why is delivering things in a car called "Shipment" while delivering things by boat is called "Cargo" ?

Nothing happens by accident... everything happens for a reason... even if you don't know what that reason is.
