Hey there guys, I'm making an illustration about "A pirate in Love" where the main subject is the young captain, mesmerized by an interesting creature of the sea, a siren. The old man behind him, having more experience with such situation is trying to pull him back to safety.
The siren looks completely harmless, of course, but the viewer is given a glimpse of a possible future with the scene of a skull and a ribcage (not final) behind a rock facing away from the pirates.
At the moment I'm working with this composition, realize that the captains face is out of perspective, and want to crop it in before I start working with finer line work.
I am going for a more realistic approach as far as rendering goes, but may change to a less realistic approach in terms of render. If I do go with a less realistic I may have the young captain smooching at the siren.
The scene's setting is at night, and as previously stated the main focus is the interaction of the captain with the siren, and interest in the old man pulling him.
Feel free to critique in any way possible, and paintovers are welcomed as well.
