Playing around with inks. These two will haunt me into my grave xD

An ink portrait of John Silver from Black Sails. It's done in a mostly-realistic style, with bold splotches of black ink here and there. Messy but that's the style. The author wants you to know she appreciates you spending time with her work. An ink portrait of James Flint from Black Sails. It's done in a mostly-realistic style, with big, bold splotches of ink creating a grungy effect.

I've been watching #Stargate SG1 lately (again) and what was supposed to be a quick sketch turned into a full-blown drawing.

Wondering what horrors Lieutenant McGraw witnessed in his early days in the Navy...

Thanks to our BS server for the idea! <3

#BlackSails #fanart #JamesFlint #JamesMcGraw #ToraDraws #art #digitalart #illustration #fuckai #OnlyHumanMadeArtBaby
A digital painting of Lieutenant James McGraw - Captain Flint - from Black Sails series. He's seen from the front, from waist up, standing against a black background. He has one hand outstretched towards the camera, trying to reach the viewer. His long hair and the white, half-unbuttoned shirt he's wearing suggest his lieutenant era in the Navy. The look of fear on his face and his widely opened eyes suggest panic, along with the clear movement at the edges of his silhouette.

A WIP of #CaptainFlint in his Lieutenant era. From sketch to flats with lineart, to rough colors with highlights to a little mockup of the movement blur I want on the finished piece.
