Honestly, it's a really nice piece! I should've waited until I was fully awake before posting 😞
It made me think about that porm "rhyme of the old mariner", where sailors were stuck on a calm sea (no wind at all, I'm not sure what's the real sailing term for that).
I don't remember the full details, but a guy killed an albatross and got cursed for that. They hung the albatross around his neck as a sign of the curse.
Thus, bird + dead ship made me think of that story!
Sweet
Thanks :)
Wow, that is an awesome piece.
Thank you!
That's one peculiar albatross, I like it.
It's a cormorant. There's a lot of them by the water where I live.
I think that's a snake bird.
edit: unearned confidence got me again
I used a cormorant as reference, but they do look a lot alike. Didn't know these kind of bird. They look very cool!

Thank you very much 😊 Someone else mentioned this poem as well! I'm gonna listen to it when drawing tonight. Ian McKellan reads it in this video
Dead calm sea is common in the area of the equatorial atlantic called the doldrums
The title isn't a typo. Sometimes we need a smooth sea as to not work ourselves to death.
But the caption of the image is different?
Uh shit... that is a typo. I'm really glad I can reupload an image here. Thanks for making me aware
No worries 😺
Do you sell these?
I will put it up on my Big Cartel store and send you a link :)
You can get a print here :)
Thank you!
And could i use it as a background image on my phone?
Sure! Sorry for the late answer, Lemmy wont let me comment or post on computer...
