This project is the largest digital artwork I have ever created!
It features 47 individual characters (and little extras) and 43 easter eggs. The whole project took 4 months from start to finish, the drawing part alone was 126 hours!
Easter eggs are hidden around the piece, can you find them all?

I hope we can do a similar large artwork next year!

You did indeed tag the wrong person… no worries there though ;D
I’ve seen it already and it just makes it that much cooler to come with a speedpaint underlined by a community created sea shanty ^^
I spent about half an hour zoomed in and looking around the picture with my family on Discord. We picked out the “this is fine” meme reference with the fire, too. What a great assortment.
I also really like the lightning and phosphorescent or lit up waves and clouds of cannon smoke :)

Don’t worry, it will be fineeee
Uuuuhh…
