Description Illustrated book version of the mariner's revenge song by the decemberists, done for my drawing class. It's around 26 pages long. Plenty of hatching, plenty of hanky-biting action, sex, venereal diseases, violence, drama, betrayal, and revenge. all the good things. gotta love those unwholesome victorians.

listen to the song

Oh my god, that was amazing. I listened to the song in time with reading the pages, and it was just awesome. It almost made me cry too. I love the way you illustrated the song, it's just perfect.

Oh my God, I just read through the whole thing, and Jesus, this is absolutely amazing. It's so atmospheric and intense, I love your compositions for the pages. The inking is absolutely fabulous too, and the character design. Wonderful work. Good lord.

This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I'd never heard this song(or of this band) before, but listening to it an then reading along with it was so so so sooooooo inspiring. You did such a good job. ;w;

I cannot stress to you how much I love this. The Decemberists are by far my very favorite band, and this is definitely one of the best songs. Really impressed with the way you told the story, and I can't think of any better way to depict the characters than the way you have. Of course, your style of work lends itself perfectly to the feel of the Decemberists, the period and setting that all their music brings to mind.

Wonderful wonderful.

ahhhh, i'm so glad! i love them, too. i agree, it is one of their best songs. thanks, i worked really hard on designing the characters so it's great to hear that they were successful.

i love that the decemberists create such vivid settings and characters for all their songs, that made it really easy to just kind of... draw what they described.

Wow - I am in love! You've truly captured the feeling of this song in your illustrations (as well as the overall tone of the Decemberists, I think!)
Excellent job. I especially like the little details in the background (such as the picture of the hound hanging on the wall of the home when the mother, child and suspicious character are together in one panel, where the picture is crooked in the next panel with the mother and son alone) as well as the way you ...delayed? the action in the last few panels to make the end more suspenseful.

I love this!

whippets are so gross looking to me, and they also embody shady victorian men in my eyes. ANYONE WHO HAS A WHIPPET IS A BAD PERSON. (no just kidding XD)
