Decorative Pirate Cabin COMPLETED! Yay!
-
@Perrij this is already looking great. Your girl looks so pretty and delicate. I’ll stay tuned!
-
Thanks Nyrryl!! Slow progress...dragging my feet along here
-
I like your style, it is so nice to look at, delicate. Looking forward to see more.
-
@MichaelaH Thanks Michaela!! Appreciate it
A liiiiittle bit of progress...Trying to decide how I want to handle the tapestry behind the captain. Do i want a lot of detail? What should I put there? The problem is that most of the tapestry is covered up, so it'll be difficult to make it look like anything at all, I think...
-
I wonder if what you do with the tapestry has to do with what story you're telling with the image. Where do you want the emphasis to be? Is it on the globe? The pirate? The girl? If the story you're telling is actually about the tapestry behind them, that might dictate what you do with it...
-
Ah, @Coreyartus that's a good point....Although I feel it would be so difficult to tell a story with the small segment that we see of the tapestry. But I should give it a shot. Is it weird to say that my emphasis is the look between the two characters? (second one is a white blob right now) Edit: I WILL FIGURE THIS OUT. I AM DETERMINED
-
still trudgin along here
-
inching ever closer
my goal is to finish this tonight, but we'll see... -
Trudge and inch away -your in good company
-
@Heather-Boyd Thank you heather! I've been telling myself that doing a little bit is better than doing nothing, and it's really helped
-
at that point where i don't know if i like it anymore LOL ughhhhh help
-
Not to nit pick but where the blue handle of the jar meets the table cloth bothers me as a tangent.
I’d say push through and try to remember what sparked your interest and try to rekindle that feeling or whatever so it will help you finish. Nothing like not finishing to deter you from going into a new work and not having enough momentum to finish it.
-
@Heather-Boyd ooh crimeny you're right heather, that's an awful tangent. Not nitpicky at all, I appreciate it. I'll have to take care of that soon... But I did a little more work. Rofl I think Im updating this thread too often, oh well! It helps me push forward

You are so not. Love seeing your progress!
I agree about the tangent, but other than that, outstanding work! -
@Perrij I also love to see the process, it is great illustration
-
@Amanda-Jean and @MichaelaH oh thank you so much both of you, so kind of you to stop in here and give me some encouragement. Sometimes you feel like you're trying to make it all on your own, so it means a lot to have you along for the ride
-
So close to being DONE! I just need to figure out what pattern I want on the captain's big robe. Hm! He's supposed to have made his coat out of a tapestry...Still deciding how to balance that much detail....Welp, maybe I'll finish it tonight...
-
@Perrij I like your composition and colors very much—is it possible to bring the wall tapestry in front of the rod at the corners without too much reworking? Right now it looks to me a bit like the rod is going through the head of the figure in the foreground.
-
Looking fully amazing, love it, like @BichonBistro wrote, I would also put the tapestry in front.
-
This is looking straight up amazeballs!! Love it.
