Obtaining Eskimo Captain

So in class we did a project where we got on ( http://andrewbosley.weebly.com/the-brainstormer.html ) It's a website where you spin this wheel containing words and phrases and makes random phrases, of things or people that you can draw. This site really helps if you have artist block, or you just want something weird to draw. So I spun the wheel a few times and finally ended up with (Obtaining Eskimo Captain). When I think of Obtaining, it brings to mind capture, and captain brings to mind a Pirate Captain, and Eskimo is self explanatory, they wear fuzzy jackets and stuff. 

So it didn't take me very long to come up with what i wanted to do, so i sketched it out on to a piece of paper. And i colored it in with colored pencils to get a feel of how it would look once i used the paint tool on the computer and so far it looked alright. After that i felt like the picture was too empty and missing something, so of course I added a Penguin. And of course I decided that there would be a love story between the Eskimo and Penguin. So yeah the Penguin captures the Eskimo after years of hoping and waiting for the Eskimo Pirate man to come to him. So the end on that romantic story.

The background is a work in progress. I just painted it Orange to do something with it. I added a lot of different tones and color, to make the face and jacket and stuff seem a little realistic. So now all I have to do is fix up the background.
