I like your work
Perhaps it would’ve been better if you’d add some Spot type of light and place it in the right corner of the scene at an angle of ~45º, so that the shadows of your ship would be casting to the left side of it. I think, it would’ve brougt some more realism to the whole scene.
As for the rest - great job!
So you going pirating instead ?
That bow gun aperture will put a lot of water in the ship, not sure you will stay afloat 
Like the model but you need shadows in the water.
thanks Bullit … something was bothering me about the pier, and i think it’s the water shadows you mentioned. 
@KakuDbowen i do like the color choices you used for the ship, and the figurehead is great
The modeling is whimsical and cute – it doesn’t have to be seaworthy. I agree that right now the lighting is kind of “drab,” especially on the pier, which almost disappears into the water. But, the whole thing is fun to look at. I especially like the spiral shapes.
I featured you on BlenderNation, have a great weekend!
