More stinky Pirates

After posting my Pirate the other day, my friend shared some pirate photo-reference from her advanced figure drawing class this semester, so I did some sketches. Since the week isn't out yet, I though I'll post 'em! Argh!

Ink the Pirate

Okay, so I may have used the pirate theme for one of my inking assignments. I think before Pirates of the Caribbean (the movie) came out I had another mental image when I thought of pirates, and to this day I still think that's the most amazing pirate story ever told. I'm talking about the Monkey Island games by Lucasart (before all they did was Star Wars games). Monkey Island is definitely my favorite game of all-times. It was an amazing adventure game and the most important part: FUNNY AS HELL. I truly recommend this game to anyone and right now is a good moment to start because the past few years they released an special edition for the first and second game.

This game marked me so much that, after playing the third one, the art style really influenced the way I drew for a long time.

I know that, because I needed to take reference from a photograph, I didn't draw Guybrush (the main character from the Monkey Island game) but I also posted an illustration I did a few years ago as a fan art of the game. I hope you enjoy it!

Last Pirate post

Some of my favorite moments of the Disney attraction, the cave scenes. I tried to boil down the essence of that scene for me, and this is it. "Dead men tell no tales" I sent this in to the Disney fine art people to sell on property, so keep your fingers crossed.

Avast!

"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot, Drink up me 'earties, yo ho."

 I am a huge Aquabat fan, and one of their songs is called "Captain Hampton and the Midget Pirates," an epic tale about a boy who joins a crew to track down and stop the deadliest pirates in the seven seas! These I did a bit ago, just for fun, but now I can finally use them!

So when I was five I rode "Pirates of the Caribbean" at Walt Disney World in Orlando. I was told that I cried at the exploding water. All I know is that the experience would forever cement pirates in my brain as one of the coolest things ever. So this is the first piece I'll post this week, it's an homage to east coast Pirates of the Caribbean. "yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me"
