“This image was created as a cover for the PC game for client Akella where the player had to participate in sea battles, trade with various countries and to establish own colony in East India. The main idea I choose naval officer in ceremonial suit at a marine landscape. I specifically avoid any action in this figure. I want to draw brave and nobility captain. Since the game takes place in the English colonies, I use English military costumes.”
