This is something inspired by idler_1814's masterly story "Run Aground" which I've reread recently.

( some remix... )

Oh my! That's absolutely beautiful, a real work of art. I adore the style and composition.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked this :)

Lovely! Thank you so much for sharing it.

My pleasure! Thank you for your comment!

Really amazing. I love the way you used the smudging to show the fog and wind. And Bush looks so fierce!

katriona_s August 21 2011, 03:22:36 UTC

Thank you very much!

Bush looks so fierce!

Yes, idler_1814's story is mostly book-based and there Bush is rougher and tougher guy than in drama. I used the image of Paul McGann's Bush here but tried to describe him differently.

Here is a nice sight - a Volgivagant icon back on FS - hello there you !

hope you have brought the Lord Admiral with you too :)

katriona_s August 21 2011, 03:26:56 UTC

Not at all. It's my pleasure! :D

Wow!!!! I am......speechless!! It's beautiful, and your concept of both Fanshawe and Dawes are startlingly close to my own. I particularly appreciate Bush's 'fierceness'...he was pretty fierce in RA: he had to be.

And the cutters, too! You convey such a wonderful sense of their speed and agility.

I love it, and am deeply honored. 'Masterpiece', though? Thank you--you're very, very generous--but not quite. Only if "masterpiece" = "really long"! ;)

Thank you, I'm really glad if you liked this, especially if Fanshawe and Dawes I've imagined are really close to your concept. I'd wanted to draw something about your stories for years and when I reread Run Aground recently this image of three officers came to me. I enjoyed drawing this very much so I thank you again for it :)

Oh, I'm not an English speaker and of course not good at English vocabulary, but if I can't call Run Aground a masterpiece then which works should I call so??
