In honor of National Talk like a pirate day, I bring you Gimlet! A Pirate Dwarf!!

He is very fond of gold, so fond he had them put extra gold into his custom made armor. He has been known to dive into freshly killed piles of beasties to search for that elusive winking single piece of gold.

ARRR!

while most dwarves do anything they can to avoid the sea,Gimlet has picked up a rather cursed saber, which has increased his love of the water, and enhanced, of course, his love of gold.

i used several new techniques on this.

I'd love critique on how I can push this further, or pieces like this.

Dude! Thank you for reminding me about tomorrow! I'd completely forgotten about it! :D

Pirate dwarf, eh? Interesting that you gave him mail and a breastplate-- I don't care to think about what'd happen if he fell overboard like that. Non-natural hair-colors, especially for such an earthy bunch, plus that huge grin forces me to grin even under the mountain of homework I am currently wrestling tonight at midnight. Excellent commemoration; you do all the pirates service with this gem. ;)

Don't try to keep thinking pessimistic thoughts. You will run out.

Avatar by =Foxchibi. She's pretty cool like that.

Very watercolorie and a different style than your usual, I really like it!

Only real suggestion is to blend the horizon between the sea and the sky together so the switch is less abrupt, maybe some haze or decrease the contrast between the lighter accents of the water toward the horizon.

Oh, I totally forgot, I also used a chainmail tutorial [link] by

It took a little bit of time, but totally worth the effort!

Nice job on the chainmail! The highlights could have been slightly brighter in there. :)

You're right, I may do a couple touch ups after all the crits come in. :) Thanks again for your tutorials.
