Beautiful illustration to a lovely story. Great movement.

Thank you! :) The story is lovely indeed... although I must confess that considering the living conditions aboard a man-o-war in those times, I'm reluctant to call it "happy ending". It's bittersweet, which is probably what I've tried to get across here.

Lovely as always, hon.

Yes, little Gillette touches a soft spot, doesn't he? I'm glad you like it! :)

OMG.

You keep surprising me, and I love it. LOVE IT. TO PIECES.

*pauses a moment* Hang on, I DO remember that one...

*goes to read anyway*

That picture is just.... amazing. And pure squee.

Yay! Surprise! So glad it has that effect!
Thank you - I have a special soft spot for little Gillette as well, so I'm really happy you like it. :)
