Description
I thought quite a while: and if Silver did lose the eye, arm and leg because of Nathaniel Flint?With this Idea in mind I made this comic manipulating a little one of the scene of the movie
draw it traditionally and color (without too much commitment) it digitally

A pretty decent piece you've made here. You've pretty much did a good job, trying to capture the scene, and somewhat recreate it a bit, by adding a bit of a flashback, and even a bit of a clearer idea of what could have happened to Silver, when he tried chasing for Treasure Planet. You've also pretty much did a good job capturing the basic image of the characters. When you look at the thumbnail, you could easily recognize the characters and who they are, if you've watched the movie of course. Regardless, they may not look exactly like the characters, but you managed to capture enough of their likeness, which can actually be much harder than some may realize.
Now, the lineart may use a bit of practice, but it's pretty good. Colors, you've got the pretty basic idea of shading and lighting. This is especially evident with the metal parts, as they have quite a bit of a shine to them. However, I do believe that you could do a bit more with the other parts of the characters. Perhaps experiment a bit with other colors or tints with the shading.
The panels themselves are pretty decent with it being close up to put more focus and emphasis on some areas. However, I think that it can be improved with more experimental placement, rather than just the box kind of comic.
Other than that, it's a pretty good job.

Hi, thanks for commenting
my real purpose was recounting this situation without much effort (for my extremely lack of time), indeed I didn't make a lineart but simply used the one of my inked traditional version of it and the colors are pratically flat almost without shades, so if you simply appreciate the concept within this piece I reached my goal

Love that movie, it's huuuuuugely underappreciated.
Your idea about Silvers motivation is also very strong, it was kinda lacking a bit in the movie.
Since you submitted art for productive comment here it goes
I would like to point out the main issue with the panel, specifically "the camera work".
Flow or the path of the eyes is a bit all over the place. Think about how it should be "directed". I would recommend checking out
Markrilley channel (especially the playlist "How to make Comics/Manga) some simple tricks will upgrade your level in no time. And the ability to "direct" readers eyes is a major advantage, that should be used any time you can.

Hard to imagine since Flint plunder a hundred years ago and Silver's in his fifties. But it's okay think up since in the original book of Treasure Island Silver was Flint's quartermaster.

I knew that in the movie was impossible , after all BEN was abandoned 100 years ago when Flint died and removed to BEN its memories , so is obvious that Silver couldn't be there at those times but I wanted to twist a bit the story just for introduce this memory of Silver, now reading what you wrote about the original book it's awesome since, without knowing it, this is not impossible! Thanks for this info!

Well, the way it could be for Treasure Planet. Perhaps, who ever it was who nearly killed Silver, perhaps since Silver was obsessed in finding Flint's trove more than anything else, maybe in his mind he saw Captain Flint on the face of the real person trying to take his life to prevent him from finding the trove. But because of this illusion, Silver refuses to give up his life and find that treasure.
