Description Haven’t done a proper piece in a while, so here’s a study painting of Hokule’a, a Polynesian double-hulled voyaging canoe (a 1975 recreation anyway). Done based on a black & white reference (which honestly looks much better than my color attempt).

As usual, Atari 2600 palette. The painting is still done in my painting style of recent years, but the boat in this case is done proper pixel-by-pixel in my own editor (background is done in GIMP).

Thanks! It was a bit of a struggle since it was a B&W reference, but I'm glad it came out alright.
