The Pirates Have Sailed Away

After 5 weeks, “Pirate (space)Ship” have been reckoned. It had a very good run and people really liked it. But everything must come to an end, and now we wave goodbye to those fantastic space pirates. It really was an awesome journey.

You can still grab one before midnight, it’s your last chance. Thanks to everyone that supported it :)

Yo Ho Ho, to space we go!

I can barely contain the excitement. This is my second print at Woot, in exactly one month. I’m starting to think the number 4 is my new lucky number. My first print was on February 4th and the second one today, March 4th. Even though the first time I won second place and this time third, more people voted for this design. I was starting to think that I wasn’t going to win this week because the competition was really tough, but thanks to everyone that voted, we can all enjoy the design and bring it home with us.

Thank You!

Pirate (space)Ship

Sneaky ninjas, always getting away with everything. But not this week, it’s time for different adventures. This week’s theme is all about Pirates, even though it is called “Take that, Ninja”. I wanted to go back to the “artistic style” rather than the “funny concept”. I’ve always been fascinated by space travel and spaceships, and thought it would be to be cool to place a pirate ship on space. Why keep pirates at sea, when they can go beyond that. Not even the sky can limit their travels and treasure hunting!

I used some old Photoshop techniques to create the planet, so the surface pattern is very random. And as for the “clouds”, I used the same brushes and a similar technique I used on “Elements of Life”
