That looks nice =)
Did you mean to share those as inspiration?

polsped · 02-24-2012, 01:25 PM

Of course. I have no problem. Those designs was created for some costumes in the town where i live. Have you visit the links?

AlexTooth · 02-24-2012, 10:03 PM

Can't resist some good old swashbuckling action.

Kinda was thinking the pirate handing over some booty to like some baron, or maybe pirates about to steal some booty off rich travellers, or maybe just a bunch of pirates landing at the docks!

Want to with a junky cyber theme!

LadyMedusa · 02-25-2012, 09:19 AM

Probably a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway.
What are your expectations on "quality" in this contest? Is it Ok if I go less realistic and more Children's Bookish?

tobz · 11:31 AM

LadyMedusa There are no rules about styles. You can do whatever you want! =)

A children's book style is not of lesser quality than a realistic style.

And some originality and difference here is always nice.

LadyMedusa · 01:53 PM

Thanks tobz

danlambert- Why I put that word in quotation marks

. Over here it's often regarded as a simpler quality when compared to realism. (Simpler, doesn't necessarily mean lesser in my opinion)

notpill · 02-25-2012, 02:14 PM

I like pirates. I'm in (i hope)

SOm_pixelz · 02-25-2012, 02:22 PM

so i already have sketch ,i cant step back.

jaredjbarnes · 02-25-2012, 03:50 PM

@AlexTooth

I really like your thumbnails, but especially the second to the last one. That composition really strikes me, its captivating. Great work!

zephyri · 02-25-2012, 06:21 PM

@Alextooth, lovely thumbnails, really like the story aspect that's hinted at in the middle bottom one, and I like the atmorpshere in the very last one too, the way whatever's in the light on the right is the focus of the image. Also like the simplicity of the second composition too. Will be curious to know where you go with it!
