first illustrations

I produced these illustrations using the pen tool, I think that the tone is interesting on them, I especially like the eye on the pirana I drew, however I feel that I have lost a great deal of depth with my image but I think it still looks good.

I feel as though these images have something missing from them and they do not tie in with what I want to produce for my drop dead brief.

I really do like the detail on this illustration of the anchor and skull, I think the tones work really well and compliment the whole of the image without taking away from anything.

This is another image I really like the anchor top and how I incorporated a skeleton, thigh bones and a pirates wheel. Originally I thought that the image may be a bit to much using all these different elements and may over do it, but it worked out quite well.

Below is the image in full, I don't want to use the top part at all, but I may use the anchor in further development but I am not sure yet. I want to produce a different style of illustration for these t shirts which are more like Black axe's kind of illustrations with interesting stroke work and a tame use of colour.
