Absolutely, impressively gorgeous ! This is one of the most beautiful rendition of Lt Gillette I've ever seen. You did a fantastic job with his facial expression. That cheerful, witty smile and those beatiful eyes sparkling of life are actually there to be seen throughout the whole POTC1, but people generally overlook them and take notice only of the fact that he is - in a manner of speaking - on the "wrong side" of the film heroes. Thank you for having done him justice. :)

I'm so glad you caught this, because it is thanks to you that I had the pictures to work from to make this portrait. The lighting for many of Gillette's scenes in PotC was overcast or in the dark, so his features were very indistinct. The other pictures of Damian were so helpful. He is definitely a witty character in the movie; he seems to have so much fun seeing other people make fools of themselves. Unfortunately he is always lacking a critical piece of information that proves him wrong about just what kind of foolishness they're up to. A bit impulsive is how I read him. I love all the characters in this movie and I've had fun writing Gillette in my movie novelization. He's just doing his job--a good man, as Sparrow would say--and very loyal. Though I'm sure Andrew would rather perish than have Sparrow think that of him. :D I'm so glad you felt this portrait does him justice. Thank you.
