Done with a DON! Tom's Workers laying down some tracks for the Sea Train back in the day. I just wanted to capture the dynamic between the master shipwright and his two apprentices because I love Franky's backstory. Tom is also my favorite out of all the mentor figures in One Piece (yes, even more than Hiluluk and Kureha =gasp= ), kickass.

Wooh! I spent the whole day on this like a loser and I gotta say, I don't think I let myself down on this one. Sure, I'm still bad at using photoshop, but as far as my skills go I think I made good use of them here. I like doing ocean scenes even though rendering water is really hard. Somebody mentioned on the scrap that the composition was a little left-heavy so I tried to balance it more by shifting the clouds over making the track more prominent. I hope it helped. The drawing itself I was totally in love with, so even though I wanted to get a painterly look, I couldn't really color over my lines... I don't think I'll ever have the guts to go through with it. There's only one thing that sort of bothers me about the pic but I won't bring it up since people probably won't notice anyway.

"But Mr. Tom - my goal is still you after all!
Please come back and teach me some more,
Because one day I want to build a dream ship too -
A dream ship that can sail the unknown waves with a don to the ends of the earth."

=sniff=

I am so sorry Frankruiz! I will finish your picture very soon!

I'm not going to lie, this is, by far, my favorite picture in the entire world. And I also share the love of Franky's back story.~

You SHALL NOT "paint over the lines". No way; this piece is SO BEAUTIFUL the way it is. It gives it a more intimate feel when you can see an artist's underlying techniques, especially line. *Favorited* I agree, I love Franky's story. :) Yes, it is balanced with those clouds over there; what also helps is that Franky is looking to the right (our gaze naturally goes to wherever the subject is looking). Beautiful work. :O
