Grimshaw. He painted a lovely one of my hometown, Hull - once a city of fine maritime tradition (unfortunately in a state of decay and decline for years now)

Same, but for like a year.

I feel like a fool for ever having picked up the pencil because no matter how hard I drew, I could never capture beauty like this even in the course of the daily efforts over the 3 1/2 years I tried.

So like the rest of the western world.

Yes, but even predating the current issues around cultural enrichment, it was back in the 1970s that the fishing and shipbuilding industry began dying a slow death. They fought it but the writing was on the wall.

Anyone got higher res viking ship picture. I would like to print and hang one.

Thanks for the thread Anon. My HDD died a while ago and I need to rebuild my Nautical folder

any luxury mega super yacht papes?

I hope you learned a lesson; keep backups.

Trust me, you won't regret setting up a proper backup system.

>>8060996
And where do you put such a backup system exactly? If it is physical, it can't be in the same place you live, because of fire possibility.
If it is on the cloud, you don't really have the ultimate control over the files.
Only way is to own two different locations as your own home, but not everyone can afford such thing. You can use some bank vault system for storage, but would you be really comfortable storing your personal shit in some company?
So what else you can do if you live in one apartment?

>>8061153
Dude, just get the backblaze pc backup plan, any backup you do will be infinitely better than nothing

>>8053306
It's the italian fleet coats that one there. The ship is the Amerigo Vespucci.

>>8054889
But at least you TRIED! Bravo to you!

Much worse than not succeeding is never trying!

>>8058796
kek i like it

>>8051919
Why flip the image?

>>8048261
Vernet
Among my favorites.

I think this would make a great nautical wallpaper, the art style is dope and the ship looks epic like it's right of Valheim. How do I remove all the words?

>wasted 3 1/2 years doing something he can't make a living on and in the process got 3 1/2 years behind in life and became disillusioned and frustrated...
How is this a win? You kumbaya tards make me laugh.

anyone know source for this? its has been the background for my phone screen for a while, i like it a lot. it wprks really well because as you unlock the phone you see the left part only, which is by itself really nice, and as you swipe screens to the right you ge to see more of the ship. honestly i like it more than anything else in this trhead so far

>>8075015

>>8058796
Holy shit.
This activated some memory I didn't know I had. That's from a book or something. How many other memories do I have that I can't remember.

This one's on the wall in my office

Tough call, but I'm calling this nautical
There's a boat, there's surf, there's some rocks, it's nautical

>>8078242

Weirdo would do beach landings with bagpipes and a sword
He may or may not have gotten a longbow kill in during WW2

Amazing thread, I saved so many.

>>8082040
Contributing a few in return.

>>8054889
Listen, you can think in both ways, the productive like the other anon said, you wasted time or either way you can think like you at least try. Throw all of that shit in the garbage. First ask yourself why you paint?
Because if you paint just to be like a guy who paint really cool, and just mimic like a bitch, then you are in the wrong path, your art its just a copy. Art is a endless path, forget about goals and shit. Pay attention, explore with out the fear of failing. Always think what are you saying with the think you chose to paint... FUCKING ENJOY DOING IT, NEVER FUCKING STOP DOING IT UNTIL DEAD, LOVE IT ALL THE TIME, HATE IT ALL THE TIME, NEVER STOP, NEVER, NEVER NEVER, EVEN THO, YOU MIGHT NOT SUCCEDE, BUT YOU HAVE BETTER CHANCE, AND IN THIS FUCKING UNFAIR LIFE, THATS GOOD ENOUGH, SO DONT BE A BITCH CRYING, PAINT TILL YOU DIE, BITCHING AROUND LIKE THIS IS USELEES, YOUR ART IS DISCIPLINE. PUT SOME PANTS ON.

Man what a spectacular thread. I've taken like half of it.

You guys got me in the mood so im gonna contribute

Captcha killed my mood but i won't back down
