HMS Victory in a Storm

Description

Prints: daniel-eskridge.artistwebsites…

A massive 18th century warship crashes though the waves of a stormy sea as lightning flickers all around it.

The HMS Victory is an English ship of the line that was launched in 1765.  It is still a commissioned vessel today and is the oldest navel vessel in the world still in service.  The Victory was Lord Nelson's flag ship at the battle of Trafalgar.

Here, I have depicted this famous warship fighting not a human enemy, but a natural one: a massive tempest at sea.  Really, I wanted to create an image with a rough stormy sea.  The idea of adding the ship came later as I felt there need to be some substantial subject for the viewer to focus on.

Note: the creation of this image involved the use of purchased products

Tools used: Vue, GIMP
