The classic final scene from Herman Melville's Moby Dick. I tried to cram as much of the symbolism in as the composition would allow. I even worked in the coffin Ismael clings to for survival.
That is evidently the actual coin that Ahab nailed to the ship's mast. I did my research on this one!
The soundtrack was supplied by none other than Mastodon, with their album Leviathan. No surprise there, haha.
Moby Dick by ~scumbugg is really a fantastic piece that represents a classic novel through wonderful drawing skills and muted watercolors! (Suggested by *Suspeito and Featured by ^ArtisticAunJuli)
Good job on the coin. I never read Moby Dick but I read a short story called Another Orphan where the narrator winds up in the story and the coin figures in that one.
Wicked image, and the details make it a solid depiction of the book. Terrific job.
