Artist's Comments

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.

Microns & Watercolors.

Edit: This is now available as a shirt. Check it out here!

Daily DeviationMoby 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.

Beautiful composition. You should make a print.

Wicked image, and the details make it a solid depiction of the book. Terrific job.
