Artist's Comments

Everyone's favorite dashing young commander. Maybe not, really, "everyone's", but mine at least.
Because Royal Navy uniforms from the Napoleonic Wars ARE dashing. Prodigiously. :D

You can tell it's Post Captain era (before he is made post) by the left-shoulder epaulet and short-by-his-standards hair. He took to wearing a wig in the middle of the first book after having half his hair burnt off while taking a fort with a great display of panache (Lord love the man).

Oh, by the way, he's not the Russel Crowe version. Obviously. Oddly enough my seeing the movie first did not ruin my capacity for character imagining :)

There is going to be a series of character portraits. I'm working on one of Sophia at the moment.

Thank you! One of the rare times I get my own ideas drawn without being obscured by a movie.. Eh, Jack's just that kind of character. (:glomp: --> That's me randomly hugging him :D )

Thanks for favoriting too!!

No worries, it deserved it!

Jack in my head is still pretty close to Russell (um, but taller and broader), Stephen I have entirely different from Paul Bettany. :/

My Maturin image is completely different too... unfortunately Paul Bettany is much too obviously good-looking (:faint:) :D

And still my mind completely accepts him as Stephen, which is weird. I think he's just very good at those typically Stepenish expressions. The reptilian glare comes to mind.

But still, yep, much too pretty.. though I won't complain. Haha.

:climbs aboard bandwagon:

This is also good.

I discern a passing resemblance to St John Vianney: [link]
