Thanks all, I'm happy you like it. I'm actually trying some new approach on my style and art, and it is hard for me to know if I'm on the good way or not.
But as somebody said, there's no bad choice, what is important, is just to made one...
>luc : thanks for the kind words. |

Thanks again!
>Ko : I didn't know this painting from him, but I think that the idea of the whale's shape came from one of his paintings (where the whales fly in the space).
The most inspiration for this one was the works of JM Turner and Bierstadt's paintings. For the lines of the ships I was really inspired by the Japanese estamps.
I really like the mix between this 2 cultures. |

MAn I sometimes wish I could do stuff like that.... Awsome.... The roughness it has over it it just helps so much to the atmosphere .....
