Thanx

lol, without the 'Instead of the cross, the Alabtross' in the picture, the writing makes no sense at all! Glad there was a description to read. ;) Image seemed a bit sad at first, but somehow after reading the description it takes on a tone of comedy. It doesn't look particularly happy, but it's just so random. The style of drawing is soft and sketchy, I like the gritty texture, and the sparse and thin outlines. Shade's all very subtle too, and in difference nuances. Looks pretty artistic! And after all is said... I wonder why you chose that specific quote? Does it have any personal significance? Does it maybe mean more than it seems to mean? Nice work.

-cd-

Actually I wanted to expresses How I am Feeling!
Yup It have some secret!

I like the color scheme, especially the blue color for the sky though I've read this literature and know it takes place on a boat and the boat the captain is standing on looks weird (I don't think it should be curved like that). Also, his chest looks like he has one huge bulge on it, going from his stomach area to his chest. I guess my last criticism is that the scene almost looks comic in a way, especially if someone saw this and had never heard of this writing, then this may appear funny, as the captain has his hand to his face to indicate "Darn it. How'd this thing get on my neck again." or "my crew mates played another weird joke on me."

Still, I like the fact that you're trying to draw diverse things. A lot of people on newgrounds just stick with drawing the same kinds of things over and over again so your work brings a breath of fresh air. I hope you'll keep drawing diverse and different things like this and devilsgarage is correct, you are getting better.

DIWAKAR responds:

Thanx And Yes ! My brother thought The same !! LOL

DIWAKAR responds:
