IT'S FINALLY FINISHED!!! :faint:

WIP: [link]

Once again, excuse the photo, I have no scanner. I seem to have taken it from a slight angle which possibly accounts for why Kiera Knightley's face looks a bit wonky.

Painted in acrylics, although next time I attempt something like this, remind me NOT to use the first sheet of paper I can find purely because it's the right size.

Sure, it's not perfect but it's as good as it's getting. I refuse to even attempt painting the pattern on his bandanna because I know I'm going to mess it up.

Time taken: I honestly have no idea, I lost count a long time ago... :eyepopping:

yay, you've finished it!
and it looks awesome!
i'm amazed at the detail and the fact that you have the patience to finish something like this.
:iconsentientshadoe:
:poke: Okay, firstly, it's impossible for Kiera Knightley's face to look wonky; (in my humble opinion) she's gorgeous from EVERY angle, wonky or not! :p

Anyway, what I like MOST about this is that I do believe it's "Fijayified"! Allow me to explain: Firstly, I'll assume you used a promo pic from the movie as a reference, but you've depicted the charas in your own unique mind's eye instead of trying to depict the actors playing the charas from the movie. To me, Jack :o ...er, CAPTAIN Jack looks more like I imagined him to look, Will has a more convincing wild look of wanderlust, and the fair maiden who can take care of herself is KIERA KNIGHTLEY!!! 'Nuff said! :drool:

Really nice, and your perseverance (annoyance?) paid off. Hours and hours? And how big's the piece?

Engage me. Else, when you blink I may disappear.

Thank you. :aww: I did indeed work from a promo pic, the piece is A2 in size.

It's interesting how you say I've captured the CHARACTERS - with all movies I do tend to think in terms of characters rather than actors. Everyone else falls in love with actors, I fall in love with their fictitious counterparts. :giggle:

Looking pretty awesome! I think the main thing which is a bit strange though, is that the eyes in part seem a bit too close together.


Still cool though :D Woo PotC!
