Description
Don't get me wrong, I love the story and I love the new remake. But.... I always felt sorry for Hook.
He loved Wendy's stories too, he just wanted to be loved and have some company.
Thanks to some psychopathic little bastard who's under the delusion that "life is a game" he has his hand chopped off and fed to a crocodile which later eats him.
All the while he's being mocked by Peter Pan, Wendy (who lied to him), her nasty little brothers and everyone else who's fallen under the spell of "those darling little children".
Who go around killing people for no real reason I might add.
And I'll bet Peter started it in the first place.
(I DON'T believe in fairies.)
Hah!
----------------------------------------------
This took me 12 hours, been working on it all night and goddamn do my eyes hurt.
Wacom, Paintshop, Photoshop & Photo for reference.
I chose this particular photo to work from because it just captured everything for me that I loved about Captain Hook.
His need for love & company contrasted with the bitterness towards Pan and the desire for revenge.
Thank you for looking.

All the blood and sweat you've put into this pic is so well worthed. Excellent painting dem. :o). You've got my vote and admiration.
Incredible realism! perfect lighting, excellent pose! congrats Dem
Unbelievble good work , really impressed me
And add the feelings of guilt at being out-shone by a juvenile, flying, raggamuffin cannot help poor Hooks self-esteme. This is one incredible picture, combined with the fact it has a relevent an UNDERSTANDABLE, messege. For my own part. I have always rooted for the villian, instead of the hero. While they might have unlikeable motives, At least they are understandable and beleiveable motives.
An incredible peice of work. The painting is quite extraordinary. Congratulations! Vote!

Thank you SO much for creating this and stunning us all! You've so perfectly captured the essence of one of my favourite stories of all time, and that's DEFINATELY Wendy, without a doubt! Thank you again for sharing this, truly magnificent!
I too think Hook is misunderstood but I loved the fact he was played by the childrens father as to a child it can be how one appears and as an adult you still wish to fly like Peter.
Oh well said! I liked that contrast as well and thought it was a great idea to have the delectable Mr. Isaacs playing both Mr. Darling and Hook.
