Wow, Rob...truly impressive work. I love your concept & that luminous cobalt blue is both arresting & just plain gorgeous ! I highly recommend viewing this full screen, there's a lot here. Nothing to forgive, fantastic work & I wish you well in the contest.

NICE!! That's pretty sweet man. I love it in the monotone too. Damn good entry if you ask me.

Good job.. looking for more! thanks for sharing.

This looks more along the line of "Pirates of the Carribean" after dark. Nice job. Can't decide which one I like better.

Wow!

Really cool image here Rob! My favorite part are the stars in the sky!

Wow is right! This is very well done and the colors are just scrumptous...great blues!

Mystic blue,..like it.Nice work..

ding ding ding .. (* the cigar chomping, heavy breathing referee fumbles for your wrist .. grabs it .. and thrusts it skyward *) ... da winnah .. and new champeen

(*a rumbling can be heard but its source can not be discerned*) .. (*you realize it's the crowd*)

groo .. groo .. groo .. groo .. groo .. groo

your head swells to three times its normal size .. you fail to train properly for your next bouts .. and you fall to a young upstart




I like this

Well, I really liked the first one but this is even better with that dark mysterious sky and I love those beams coming from that lighthouse...super job...shoud be a winner IMO...Good Luck.:Pat.

It seems the competition is tough. I wonder who is gonna win the contest. I think you really have the chance. It is so creative and different from the original. I guess this is what I would expect, some original concept and yours is brilliant.

wo this is so good, l like the sky and the stars

Truly cool idea! Who would thought of this....? I love this one!

You got me with the blue - Love the theme you have going and the composition, well done.

Very nice render. I love the ship. Good color choice for this

I love it and the blue color....totally awesome.....it kinda gets my imagination going. Wanting to see more of your "Pirate Kick". Excellent work.

This is fantastic. Very creative and unique.

Shivers me timbers! Ye ole scalawags, ye dun good! I tap me peg thrice and raise me grog to ya, matey. Now make me another or you'll be dance'n the hempen jig!

magnificently superb!

awesome!!!!!

I wish I hadn't looked at the original background and discovered that the ocean was really grass; it's distracting me how well you transformed the landscape just by darkening it up. I really love this creation, and I too am a big fan of pirate folklore, especially since I visit some of the Carolina coast islands every summer where I get to hear the stories. =)

Fantastic and fantastical work.

Wonderful colouring.
