The Captain's Tall Tale

Share

They never believed the old sea dog of a captain. He would say, he had seen many a strange things along the bay, but everyone else said, he only saw it from the bottom of a bottle of rum.

MtG = Magic the Gathering, known for it's quite epic illustrations for a CCG, at least more epic then every other CCG.

Seriously though, do have that in slightly bigger? I'd totally love that as my background, that's how awesome it is (as pretty much all your illustrations imo). I actually like how that, I guess it's a dragon, dragony thing isn't in the focus. It kind of doesn't give the eye something to rest on but I think you actually pay more attention to the picture that way, unlike other things on the art portal that are like "look here's something to look at and some crappy-to-decent background".

I could go on interpreting but that's tl;dr anyway so yeah. 5/5 from me =)

This is fantastic work. Reminds me of MtG artwork. The only thing I don't like is the ship. It looks a little flat, especially compared to the richly detailed environment surrounding it.

What is MtG?

I like the perspective, I guess you could tweak the angle of the viewer a tiny bit to look more over the dragons shoulder? But otherwise it's good, and I like the comment to go with as well!

Very well done, however a shot from the boat towards the monster(and maybe closer) would be a bit more atmospheric.
