Hi JJcanvas, your work is amazing!
I'm going to use it as an illustration to a short story I have just written (if it is OK for you). Of course I will quote you.
The story is written in spanish language and the title is "La Peor Tempestad" which means "The worst storm". It will be available here after the 31/05/2016: fantasiadr.weebly.com
The story is about Juan Ponce de Leon, a spanish sailor who discovered Florida and was obsessed with the fountain of youth.

If those exposed rocks are anything to go by, I wouldn't put much hope in them even beaching, much less finding a harbor. Beautifully tense.

The rig on the ship looks very small (masts too short, too much ship aft of the mizzenmast, etc.). These ships were more likely overcanvassed than underpowered. They sailed like bricks and needed every bit of help they could get.
In stormy conditions upper sails would have been struck (taken in) because they both add too much leverage to the top of the mast and are harder and riskier to take in once the weather advances. This guy would be coming into this harbour under courses (lowest sails) alone.
There appears to be no crew on deck, not even the required lookout. Adding shadowy figures all about the deck and some in the foremast rigging would seem more authentic.
Also the rectangular windows would not be found anywhere but in the transom (flat stern face of hull) because that's where the officers' great cabin is. Most 15th- to 19th-C ships did not have any side portholes at all-- they are a vulnerability both in terms of sailing safety and in battle.
The rendering of the surrounding conutryside and seascape is marvellous. I just hope that captain knows what he's doing coming this close to such rocks. (Or is the other picture, 'Crash', his sticky end?)

Very nice! May I use this in my music video? I make my own soundtracks and a lot of people said to me it sounds a bit like Pirates of the Caribbean, though I had something else in my mind
I will give you credit! I'll put a link to your DeviantArt Page.

Nice work. It's a little too wide to work as my computer desktop image, but it's there anyway!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful artwork.

Looks great
Btw, is it lying deep in the water (perhaps making water?) or is the ship's hull relatively long?

Oh lord, really this is beyond everything I have seen - it really gives me this nostalgia feeling of pirates and those times.. beautiful. Thank you.

Nice! The dark gradient at the top lends to the sense of ominousness.

Hey mate thanks!
Took me about 5 hours! It was really smooth, took less time then I expected

That is smooth. Oh, and I AM going to do the 'THE VALLEY OF FORGOTTEN SHADOWS WHERE AN ANCIENT DEMON LIES ASLEEP'
I even saved the note and I'm holding it right now infront of me.

Maybe it was your intention to make it like this, but if it is a storm why are there no waves?

This is absolutely stunning. I've grown used to your art generally kicking arse, tbh.

I do like! For some crazy reason, even though I grew up in the mountains I've always been fascinated with ships.
Looks like this one is sailing in some dangerous waters! Fav. Oh yes, fav.
