Beautiful work! Oh just lovely! Thank you so much for sharing it!

Your drawings are really excellent !
Hope in the future you will give a try to the Navy Lieutenants, too^^. A gallery of POTC characters would be a great thing.
*hopefully*

Stunning! This is really nicely done. . .

... wow. *rampant jealousy* You just... with graphite and paper.... uddd.... *flomp* *is in awe*

I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I prefer this to the original. Technically it's flabberghastingly good - the stitching on the leather belt! The contrasting textures of his hair and waistcoat! Amazing! But I like his face better than Johnny Depp's, it's something about the eyes - he looks more formidable, more serious, more genuinely *piratey*. Less like an actor, if you know what I mean. I almost feel that you've caught the character better than any picture from the film could. It's wonderful.

Wow. I'm quite blown away by this one. The detail is incredible. For some reason I'm fixated on his shirt...

Beautiful work.

[the-dala.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, that's beautiful!

[teh-farmer.livejournal.com]

Wow, That's... *lacks the words*

*stares* Great isn't good enough a word!

[bohemianbeauty.livejournal.com]

wow that's awesome! it's true, a lot of people have drawn it but I happen to be favouring yours over others I've seen. i think it's because some of the arts you can tell they were directly copying an image. yours somehow seems unique. this is a gorgeous piece fanart. kudos to you!

[have you drawn other things? own a deviantart account? i'm curious to see more of your work!]

[erinya.livejournal.com]

WOW. The detail in this is exquisite. Absolutely exquisite.

I do like the fact that it is not quite Johnny, but definitely Jack. Lovely, Honorat.

[jedipirate.livejournal.com]

Tis quite loverly. And much more detailed than anything I've ever been able to create.

Cheers!

(And I'd love to see your Sands drawing. Recently become obsessed with a sort of strange "pairing" involving Agent Sands and Count Rugen from the Princess Bride. =) )

This is the first one I did as well. I love the lift you gave to his left eyebrow (screen right) it adds just a bit more attitude! You did an awesome job with the hair and the shirt :)

Goodness, this is fabulous! I get so jealous of you people who can draw or do beautiful manips or be otherwise fine artsy. I get all these pictures in my brain but I just have no way to put them on the paper--except with words and sometimes they are just soooo inadequate. I'm discussing a PotC fan-art contest with a couple other people--keep an eye on pirategasm for details. :)

Seriously beautiful work!

[order_of_chaos]

Wow! That is really, really good.

Sorry, incoherence is my way of saying something is excellently amazing *squees*

You are, officially, the stuff. You did this with a mechanical pencil? Hell's bells, I can't get to the end of a frickin' grocery list with one of those!

This is amazing. And I find myself agreeing with you and galadhir -- it's more the character than it is the actor, which is quite cool, actually. Or...it's like one particular facet of the character, one side or flavor of him, shining through almost to the exclusion of the others. (Okay, how much sense did that *not* make?)

To try for something slightly closer to coherence, it's like this is the JAck that the mutiny made. This captures the fighter, the man betrayed, the sharper side of him. And it *is* all in the eyes, and the set of the face. There's almost the first hint of a snarl there. It's like you've captured him while he's in the cold place he goes to to get the job done.

And the texture and shading...wow. I can't draw for crap, but I adore artwork done in pencil. When it's done well, nothing looks more alive. And this is most definitely done well, in my opinion, anyway. The life in the eyes is perfect, and the details are incredible! I love the inlay work on the gun; that's just exquisite, and for some reason I won't ever be able to explain, I love the button on the cuff.

Absolutely awesome.

Woohooo! Lovely!

[drbillbongo.livejournal.com]

Excellent drawing!!! *awe*

[evilmissbecky.livejournal.com]

*forgets how to breathe*

Oh my God this is simply beautiful. *falls at your feet and worships*

[black-hound.livejournal.com]

Jesus! That is just outstanding.

[benevolentround.livejournal.com]

The eyes are perfect. You have a real gift.

What everybody else said. *G*

This ... is Captain Jack Sparrow. It may not be exactly Johnny Depp playing Jack Sparrow ... but it is absolutely Jack. As someone else said, it lends a bit of sharpness, a bit of hard, shrewd deviousness to the character that we all know lurks underneath the facade of foolishness that he employs. Crazy like a fox, indeed! :-)

Absolutely brilliant - *Memories* :-D
Cheers ~

I just came accross this unbelievably beautiful thing months after you posted it but...oh well.

It's fantasmagorically wonderful!!! I just had to comment once I saw his hand holding the gun. I have the POTC wall calendar, and December's pic is Jack steering a ship...and I just looked at his hand on the wheel. And then I looked at your drawing. And then at the calendar. Drawing. Calendar. Drawing. Calendar.

Anyhooooo...utter perfection.
