Well I promised to do something with good ol Jack Sparrow and here is one of the things I was itchin to try.

Using my new found splatter brush techniques I created a really cool parchment effect background and then I decided I was going to make a Jack Sparrow wanted poster.

After messing with a image of the ol captain, it dawned on me that instead of going to cliche route with a wanted poster (which I might do later anyway with another image), I would go in another direction and thus the concept of creating The Pirate Code according to Jack was reached.

After heavily tweeking, filtering, blending, and smudging said original pic, I came upon this great almost lineart but not quite grayscale faded look for Jack that transformed him from a simple photo into something more graphical.

You will notice I took the codes mentioned in the POTC movies and added a few I believe Jack would approve of.

I also added details like rusted nails, his infamous (and impossible to find online in a high res) sparrow tattoo and some aged and torn effects to the paper.

Hope you like it and if you fav, please leave a comment will ya?

Thanks!
