Elizabeth is sooo great. It reminds me of illustrations from my childhood's book, somehow.

[aletheiafelinea]

Heh, you know what, me too. :) Something between Szancer and Orłowska-Gabryś, remotely... And something else yet, but I can't grasp it at the moment.

Szancer is probably the most obvious, but - maybe Mirosław Pokora? He draw humans very differently, but some of the ornaments on her dress reminds me of the way he draw e.g. the waves or the forest.

The left hand is kinda... popart? comics-style? though.

By the way, after browsing the gallery I think that the artist would be definitely a great illustrator of children's literature. She's fantastic.

Nah, Pokora wasn't what I thought. But I looked before at the left hand too, and tried to recall. Got it! Antoni Wasilewski. I needed to get up and take this from a shelf. Don't ask why??? this, the association just somehow worked for me. *g* Though still it's very possible I forgot someone else yet...

A bit too clumsy and messy yet, IMO, but there are glimpses. I really like this, or this, or this.

Jack's portrait is so vivid
For me, half of the impression is done by the way of presenting. I love the contrast between the fine, precise drawing and it's place - the tabletop, the tape...

It's so different, unique & very beautiful.
One doesn't often get a chance to see such style in fanart, does one?

My pleasure! :)

Such a sad shadowy Jack! Just the thing to remind us, there's a lot more to him than the cheerful cunning pirate.

Such a dangerous Davy Jones! We should never forget how formidable that claw is.

And such a charming image of pre-pirate Elizabeth! No doubt this prim and pretty existence was what she was headed for, until she fell off the wall... Funny ol' world, ain't it?

Thank you, thank you, and for the third time thank you!

This, oh this! Somehow always when I got down to draw him myself, I used to chose more serious moments. I like to see him not-so-stereotypical.

And such a charming image of pre-pirate Elizabeth!
Yup. Pirate Lizzie is awesome, but I also admire how fine lady she is when she wants.

Triple thanks for coming back here! :)

I love all of these! The one of Jack is so compelling; really like the way Davy Jones' altered hands are emphasized in the second one; and the one of Elizabeth seems a caricature that captures every aspect of her. Great choices!

Glad you liked them. It's always great to see you here! :)
