Description I have been reading a lot of Patrick O'Brian's novels lately. About captain of the Royal Navy, Jack Aubrey, and his friend, the surgon, naturalist and intelligence agent Stephen Maturin, fighting the french and their allies during the Napoleonic Wars.

(To those familiar with the books: This is not my rendition of Stephen Maturin, even though the choice of species may suggest that (given that he is an eminent ornithologist). I would never be so cruel)

Ink and watercolour...

Hello there,

I'm new on deviantart. So I don't know how some things work in here.
I See you are into the watercolour technic. Do you use traditional watercolour, or do you use photoshop with a special brush? Can you tell me what you're using? I would appreciate it. Thank you very much.
I like your work The colours are very intense.

Have a nice day.

Goodbye,

Bonny

Well done! I really like the water blossoming on the file cabinets, as well as the highlights on the magnifying glass (gouche?). And of course the character's wry expression is perfect.

As soon as I saw the title, I thought of Stephen. And I agree with GeniusBee; I would like to see your interpretation of Jack and Stephen!

Beautiful work. I really enjoy traditional media.

GeniusBee [2010-06-21 10:22:54 +0000 UTC]

Haha I was wondering about that! Love the books, and the feel of this is certainly representative of them! You should draw Aubrey and Maturin sometime! I love seeing people's interpretations of them C:

Great work!
