Congrats!!

Great work and love it, very cool, you just forgot one thing, to add shadows to the pirate and boat according to the shadows on the rocks behind him.

i like the work you did on the face.. gave him character

Awesome!!! Powerfull scene!

It would be nice if you post an SBS, thanks! and just a question: is it possible to use brushes in a contest?? thanks

Awesome!.. looks like a movie poster..great chop!!.
High marks author..GL

Thanks a lot people. Sofie73, as far as I know yes, since you link the author of the brushes and the contest isn't digital drawing I'll see about the SBS...

@Sofie73 - If you look at the rules for Photoshop Contests: http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/photoshop/ You will find that only brushes that are based on illustrations of any kind are not permitted, photo based brushes and simple brushes are permitted. You also posted a red flag elsewhere about filters not being allowed, again if you read the Photoshop Rules there is nothing that forbids their use. You may be confusing these rules with those of the Drawing Contests which are not the same. All brushes require links be posted as the author mentioned.

you're irritatingly good!

Ahhhrrgg...pirates! Very nice work, textures create a most appropriate mood!

Sorry for the mistake!!

I love the angle, it's very dramatic! Great work, good luck author!

Dramatic. Cool texture and color palette. The angled horizon doesn't work for me, however. The sails blocking the view of the skull's mouth seem to imply added meaning but I don't see what that might be (and the title provides no clue). [Why not move the skull to the right so nearly half of it is outside the frame?] I also think the waterline at the base of the skull should be ever so slightly curved instead of the perfectly straight line seen here in order to be more realistic since the neck should be jutting out into the water.

Great work

Congratualtions..... good work here.!

Congrats, terrific work

Awesome job!...Congrats!!!

Congratulations! Well deserved!
