Ahoy and a fine day to you all!

Here be th' Piratey Contestual Challenge of DOOM!! winners:

Grand prize winner:
The Eighth Samurai with "Thing 1" [link]
This short story is rich in description for Tibbs, Desiree, and Justice; not only developing animated and creative visual wordplay but also investigating the interaction between crew members. The true heart of the ship lies in the relationships of the crew and The Eighth Samurai really helped to capture a small window on the day-to-day to expose the quirks and colours of these characters. Excellent work at th' mainsail, pirate!

Runners up:
~TwistedMindsAsylum with "Desiree DuBois" [link]
Full of detail and dynamic, ~TwistedMindsAsylum really captured Dez at her finest moment: swinging through the rigging, enjoying the freedoms of piracy. Fine work, sailor!

*Scruffy-Nerf-Herder with "Desiree DuBois" [link]
Capturing a more determined and no-holds-barred attitude, *Scruffy-Nerf-Herder shows us who Dez really is: bold, beautiful and with something to prove. Excellent job there, sailor!

~Kung-Fu-Guy with "Garrison M." [link]
Flint's straight-forward and a-wee-bit-paranoid nature really comes through in this bit of artwork. ([link] is also a fine sketch worth yer perusal.) A fine job all around, sailor!
