More from Leucrotta
A National Geographic article on the discovery of the Whydah, off of Cape Cod, got me in the mood to draw about three pages of pirates (this one, and two more are on my DA). But having some of my gray markers running low on solvent was what got me in the mood to do them up as b/w wash. It's faster than marker, less precise, and I'm pretty sure I'm working on the wrong ground for it, but I feel like the wash conveys more of an older, historical feel than marker.

Thanks! And, the used book store near me had a whole batch of National Geographic back issues for only .50 cents each, plus the issue with the Whydah featured an article on African Wild Dogs. So I read through the article and was all "arr pirates!" almost by accident!
*ahem ahem* According to the book entitled "Expedition Whydah", written by Barry Clifford (explorer of the wrack Whydah), he found the first coins in 1984, and July the 19th 1998 the ship itself, a museum is founded.
The Whydah is next to the Queen Anne's Revenge the only found wreck being a known pirate ship.
