Ship in process

This is a pretty darn good work, man! You should be proud. I love the way you've blended rough patterns such as the sea in with the detail of the ships' railings and the seagulls. I seriously wish I had your skill in rendering, you obviously spent a LOT of time on this.
This would be a good reference for anyone who wants to get better at drawing and rendering boats.
Can I be a nuisance and ask which ship this is based on? I'm a boat fanatic myself and I'm always eager to learn.
Overall, very striking and detailed.
