Description

I have to say that though not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, this is one of my favorite works that I've done. For one thing, I absolutely love working with marker and colored pencil together. I feel like I've found my signature "style" with it and it allows so many opportunities with color and blending. Also, I just loved bringing these two figures to life. When the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie came out, I was obsessed. I saw it in theaters 4 times, wanted to be just like Keira Knightley, quoted Jack Sparrow, and had the hugest crush on Will Turner. When the 4th movie came out without Will and Elizabeth I was worried about how the franchise would change without the romance element and those two beloved characters. I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful love story of Phillip and Syrena, and as much as I love Will and Elizabeth, I find the story of the sweet missionary and innocent mermaid more poignant and compelling. Every time I watch On Stranger Tides, I am more and more drawn to their love story. I think Phillip is a flawless character, motivated by his undying faith and compassion and is so caring and protective of Syrena, before he even realizes that she not only saved his life, but is different from her vampire-like, seductive sisters. Syrena, despite the violent nature of her species, is strong, yet delicate and innocent. I think their relationship is so pure. The line they both utter to each other, "You are different..." sums up their feelings beautifully. As far as this work goes, I was sooo intimidated by it, but I just dove in (excuse the pun ;) ) and had a great time. Thanks for looking!
