Speed Painting of Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I’m impressed. This is a time lapse video of some artist speed painting Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean and wow. Whoever did this has got some mad skills. Though I can’t help but ask - why would he/she paint the whole skull at the beginning? It’s not like this was 3D modeling? This was a regular standard 2D speed painting. The drawing of Jack Sparrow’s skull, regardless of how bad ass it was, seems a bit pointless. But then again - what do I know. I am nothing compared to this artist. Damn impressive.

According to the caption at the beginning of the video, the artist used Adobe Photoshop CS3 to paint this Jack Sparrow. 3 hours and the pirate was done. You can see it all in mere 4:20 (how awesome, eh?). Pull that hookah and have a puff while you’re watching this. You won’t understand where the fuck you’re at.
