More work for my animation major this year at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. I'm falling behind in my submission requirements and am short several necessary landscape sketches and studies, so I'm scrounging what I can from my sketchbook and gussying it up for presentation. This is one of those attempts.
These are older drawings by now, and the first attempt at drawing Louis's ship 'Celeste', let alone a cross section, and I am still sort of futzing around with the colors. It's garish and gold-gilded everywhere, that's all I know. Because Louis is a Baroque dandy like that. There are a hundred bajillion things wrong with this and oh my god I hate drawing ships why do pirates have to live on them so much but I don't have time to nitpick right now and she doesn't even appear in the final animation so there.
I'd imagine it would be more happy than traditional pirate flags would look like. He doesn't seem to be the type to mercilessly slaughter for fun and profit.
God, this is a lot of work. It's wonderful that you post everything here on dA so we can see what you're up to, as a lot of us are also getting into animation. For your sake, I hope this is for a background and you don't have to make the ship move! XD
