Building my portfolio

Me too, Dan. That's quite good for a first portrait.

Watching so many portraits in various galleries made me want to try my hand attempting a portrait myself. Since I never did one digitally, I thought starting with one notorious character of the seas, non other than Edward Teach, a.k.a. Blackbeard. So this is my take on him... I hope you like it.

I like doing portraits so I know how hard they can be, then again nothing I have produced would match this. Seeing this is your first one I am even more impressed. Shows a great deal of character and the menace of the individual.

Thank you so much everyone for the kind comments! I really enjoyed making it and am really glad you guys like it.

 

[RAMWolff]

Looks great. The vascularity in the hands gives it a more realistic look!

 

[Dan30]

Thanks RAMWolff !

An attempt to a cinematic look of a seascape at sunset. Called it The Guiding Lights.

Well if the cinematic look was your aim I would say you were spot on with this, a truly lovely render. If many of my intentions turned out half as successful as this I would be a very happy bunny.

Thank you all very much. Glad you like it. It took a while to get it right.

 

[Alisa]

Very lovely!

 

[NapalmArsenal]

Gorgeous Dan!! I really love the refection you have there, and with the bouy in there it rather reminds me of that scene from Jaws 2 off of Cable Junction!

 

[Miss B]

As Hornet said, spot on, a truly lovely render Dan.

Thank you kindly Alisa, Miss B, NapalmArsenal.
@NapalmArsenal I like your vivid imagination! Have you watched "The shallows"? There, the main character makes a fantastic use of a light-buoy !

Yes, I have seen that one also with Blake Lively!! LOL ............ Wonderful use of the bouy and go-pro for that matter!! I happen to have a fondness for suspense thrillers such as those.

WOW Dan, that's a really gorgeous piece there. Congratulations on a very serene piece.
