A tall, imposing Ironbound navigator made from scavenged shipwrecks, blending carved wooden figurehead artistry with rusted metal hull armor. His torso resembles a weathered, ornate ship’s figurehead—wooden grain and gilded scrollwork framing a stern, expressive face—while his limbs are a patchwork of riveted iron plating, barnacle-encrusted beams, and jagged steel. Sections of hull armor hang like samurai plating, patched together from mismatched vessels, their faded paint still clinging in places. Tangled rope, chains, and torn sailcloth drape from his frame, swaying like tattered banners. His eyes glow faintly with a ghostly blue light, hinting at the spirit within. Bits of coral and sea-glass are embedded in his armor, glimmering in the dim light. One hand grips a battered ship’s wheel as if it were both weapon and talisman, while the other is an articulated claw of mismatched metal. The setting is a surreal rust-and-wood seascape, with shifting fog and the shadow of a great vessel in the background. Dramatic, painterly, with intricate detail and high contrast lighting. See more
