This is almost fanart (Temeraire!), almost a tribute (Horatio Hornblower!)(Dawn Treader!...Haven't watched the new movie yet), and almost in celebration of the new year. Goodbye, 2010 in less than 2 hours. I have mixed feelings about you.
Really out of practice, but hopefully apart from all the great things I've been learning from portrait painting, I'll also pick up more inspiration and epic ideas after almost half a year of not having any time to draw at all.

the books are also very well written, Horatio's character is developed in the most skillful way---I recommend them!

I love the perspective and angle here. Just beautiful.
My favourite thing is the way you gave it the illusion of texture. I wish I could reach out and touch it.

Wonderful illustration. Almost thought it was a photo.
