Description Balbaris and Lourde on a treasure hunt. Two characters who are less drawn at the moment.
A while ago we made a ROR photoshooting and I was asked to draw an illustrated version of this piece: eninaj27.deviantart.com/art/Ra…
Today, almost 2 years later, I felt inspired to draw Balbaris because of watching the pirate series "Black Sails", then I remembered the photo and finally began to do it. Pirates yo hoo!

Balbaris, the captain of the Rakazel, is my OC
Lourde, allready a fully fledged crew-member, belongs to

WOOW! So cool seeing the drawn version of the photo! What a nice idea
I love the composition, it looks like a screencap from a movie, and I also love the "obfuscate" looking of Lourde, it really captures the eye. I think I love the details in this scene, for example the untied ligature of Lourde's blouse and Balbaris' little hairlocks flowing in the air

Thank you! It makes me very happy that you think it looks like screencap.
It made things easier to have a good ref this time But I also tried to avoid a too strong similarity between the two pictures.
Lourde gave me a hard time, I think his expression turned out a little different from what I wanted.Β  He should look excited and a bit tired, but he really looks a bit confused with the pose of the hand. XD But he just try to tame his hair in the wind

I think Lourde's expression looks better here. He looks kind of fed up with this trip and tired while Balbaris is completely commited to his task. However the thing I really like about this is the light. It's perfect and that wrinkled paper looks very good too.Β

Thank you! I dedicate it to you for giving me the idea, haha.
It was an interesting challenge to realize the same scene as a drawn picture. And I didn't have to search for pose refs!

Heh I am honored
I can imagine that it wasn't the simplest task to adapt yourself back to your character. I enjoy the result.
And also want to say that Lourde seem to grow up into fine young man

Yes, it was a bit tricky. I didn't want it to look like a copy, so I made a quick sketch of the scene to use the ref as less as possible.
A fine man with Balbaris as his teacher? hehe. Here he's still half of a young noble in pirates clothes, but that's what he is turning to: fav.me/d8o7v34
