Description So upon re-watching Dead Man's Chest after watching At World's End, I noticed where they said the "Isla de Muerta and its treasure were claimed by the sea" and all suddenly, I got the idea for this...

Good grief, this took forever to do! The details of Tia Dalma's dress made me want to cry, and it was kinda tough to make Barbossa look corpsey enough, but I am very happy with how it turned out! I love these characters. Thankfully, movie costume sites rock, heheh. Download-view definitely shows the detail better.

The fishnet pattern on the dress was made by for her own Tia Dalma pic. It's a great pattern. Many thanks!

Insomnia is a good thing when it makes you finally finish pictures!

Ahhhg! Forgive me for not commenting sooner.



Did I ever mention how you draw a very yummy Barbossa? Even if he is all comatose in this picture Let alone I love your concepts!

Oh god yes, norrington, he was amazing. I don't care if he was slammed off his ass for most of POTC2. he was still ruggedly handsome and I'd tap that xD

Thank you ^_^ Yeah, sometimes just playing around with filters can do neat stuff... the problem of course is remembering what you did to get it that way, later

Thanks! I'm sure I'll find somewhere to use it again too, heh heh.

Yeah, looking at that dress, I can't believe they made more than one, too, but they had to have...
