Corto Maltese

Fun piece!  It was the cool effect of the pants legs that I noticed first!

What a beautiful piece of art and also such a cool and thoughtful gift!

Great piece, great pants.

Excuse me, but can I see you for your style?
We all hit like if you seek real thrill
I got an Arty nice illustration sailin’ at sea again
Yeah, I can hear Pratt
Been saved again by the good Hage luck
I got something exchange, you know, it’s Artyom

Yes, I know when you think Maltese, you never shut up
Yeah, I can hear Pratt

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of negative space, still comics
Hey, but Corto’s here
'Cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice
And it's been here silent Maltese years

An inventive style, yet still in keeping with the classic Hugo Pratt approach!

I absolutely adore his disgn work on the water spout, so much little details to take in on just one object. Thanks for sharing!

Who knew that George had you pegged spot on as an AT fan?!  Awesome layout, layers, and some tricky stuff for the eyes here :)  Congrats, M!

Artyom's style is so unique and it really works with the character. An excellent gift!

Thanks for all you do my friend!
