I return, with more of my mad creative title-making-up skillz!
Erm, yeah.
So it's Captain Flynn Freeborn (from my on-going "novel" project The Voyage to Ruin and pertinent sequels), climbing up the ship's rigging.
It was nice to get to work on personal art for a change.
Many thanks to for answering my questions and giving most helpful information!
Sorry about the big hideous watermark; I've recently become paranoid. I'm still trying to figure out a watermark that I don't hate, but ... these things take time.
(EDIT: I changed the watermark to something a little less godawful. Hope it looks better now...)
Clear sailing to you all!
Oh! And P.S., if you'd like to win a copy of my book, check my journal!
You should probably have a watermark anyways, just in case.

I like the composition. A very clear background and foreground - it's dynamic. I like the way the horizon bends, and the light hitting the waves.
There's something that bothers me with Flynn's anatomy, though. He looks almost too bendy or rubbery. I think it's his neck, it bends awkwardly and/or is too long. If his upper arm was more straight (thus he would be more like hanging from it), I could believe that angle.
My favorite part is the colouring. I think you've gotten better at it. Flynn looks very 3D - especially the pants and the coat flaps flying in the wind.
You may want to take a look at foxfires' some of her pieces have her watermark on them in interesting ways -- like she almost incorporates the watermark image into her picture.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake. And the Science gets done. And you make a neat gun. For the people who are still alive. --Glados
Ugh, I just flipped it in Photoshop to check, and you are totally right; he's got like a turtle neck or something. Argh. I have a long-neck problem in general, but it's usually exaggerated with Flynn. I guess he tends to stick his neck out or something, hahaha. >_<
Thanks for the compliments and the pointing out of that problem!
Some people have been asking me about this stuff so I decided to gather all information in one single article on how to make your own portfolio, in a profesional and clean looking way. I hope it's useful, because these steps I myself take.
DeviantArt is full of extremely well produced artistic fashion and fine art photographs. Make up. Styling. Creation of scenery. Story. Light. Glamour. A combination of these expressions sometimes make up a great photograph. But the protagonists of these pictures are usually female.
So... now it's the time for male models to come into focus.
How to make DA work for YOU! Taking an in-depth look at how to make deviantART work for you, and getting the most out of your user experience. How to get comments, watches, your work scene, commented on, critiqued, and what you have to do. These are some of the things which I have learned since joining more than 4 1/2 years ago.
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
