A Smooth Sea Never Made a Killed Sailor
Koopa_Khan, Do you sell these?

doodgelukkig, You can get a print here :)
Koopa_Khan, Thank you!
Hjalamanger, 
And could i use it as a background image on my phone?
doodgelukkig, Sure! Sorry for the late answer, Lemmy wont let me comment or post on computer…
i_love_FFT, 
That’s one peculiar albatross, I like it.
doodgelukkig, It’s a cormorant. There’s a lot of them by the water where I live.
Arsecroft, 
doodgelukkig, I used a cormorant as reference, but they do look a lot alike. Didn’t know these kind of bird. They look very cool!
i_love_FFT, 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!
TruthAintEasy, 
Dead calm sea is common in the area of the equatorial atlantic called the doldrums
doodgelukkig, 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
Hubi, Wow, that is an awesome piece.
doodgelukkig, Thank you!
half_built_pyramids, Sweet
doodgelukkig, Thanks :)
doodgelukkig, The title isn’t a typo. Sometimes we need a smooth sea as to not work ourselves to death.
Axiochus, But the caption of the image is different?
doodgelukkig, Uh shit… that is a typo. I’m really glad I can reupload an image here. Thanks for making me aware
Axiochus, No worries 😺
