Blood on the Water

"He'll tear your gut and he'll eat your heart raw.
His eyes gleam red, his heart will never thaw.
Mark well these words, you quaking babes.
Blood on the water follows Captain Velehk Sain."

Did I mention I love this random character in Skyrim?
Inspired by the book elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Pi….

Of course we all know he's not as fearsome as the book want you to believe.
But after turning him into something cute and cuddly I thought I should redeem his character with something that kinda fits the book.

Now you see why I needed a bigger canvas. There was so much to paint. I couldn't have done it well on the 'regular' size.

I struggled with the water (or should I call it blood? ).
And it's the first time I've actually made a ship. I wanted it to look scary and Daedric-ish, so I based some of the shapes of the ship on the structures I've seen in Oblivion.
I hope you guys can recognize what he's holding in his hand as a heart... OTL
I made the heart and blood glowing to represent life energy.

Cheers to Bethesda for making awesome random characters in their Elder Scrolls games.
I hope to see more of Velehk. But that will probably never happen.
No pirate adventures with a Dremora for me. :C
I hope they keep making awesome/funny Dremora (or other Daedra) characters.

Materials: Acrylic paint on canvas. 60x90 cm.
Time: About a week
Character belongs to Bethesda.
Painting belongs to me

EDIT- I removed the mature warning for now. I want people to see this when it's a thumbnail too. If it really is too scary and bloody I'll put it back on.
