Summary: More Art! Norrington and Groves on the Dauntless. “That’s got to be the best pirate I’ve ever seen!” Poor Norrington looking pained, and Groves fangirling! I scanned this picture every time I stopped working on it, and I’ve included a few of the stages here as well as the finished piece. Here’s a Navy Lieutenant dauntless_2005! Thanks for the links.

Oh this is really amazing ! Gorgeous ! A hundred times better and more impressive than the movie pic. I just saved it along with the other Norrie-related fanart and images I use as a screensaver. Thank you so much for this !

Thank you for your kind words. The movie pics seem to never be able to get everyone in focus, so I had to improvise. And I made the two of them closer to the same size--compressed the perspective. I'm honoured that you saved this. And I did appreciate the links to reference photographs. I'll have to get to Gillette someday, too.

I am really glad a talented artist like you found my references useful. :)

I'll have to get to Gillette someday, too.
This would be really wonderful ! (Mr Gillette is a bit vain, you know, and he could grudge his friend Mr Groves so beautiful a portrait :D )
