Pirates, Coffee, and Open Canvas

[tealin]

I like the effects I see people get in Open Canvas but never had the time or patience to figure it out for myself... I've been poking around with my revised pirates after work (and, now, this weekend) so here's the result. I've probably forgotten things and could fix others but that's about the limit of my patience (for now) and ought to get back to work on my portfolio.

Verdict? And is it too big? I made it 1000px for the 1024x768 crowd because it's hard to guess on a giganto Cintiq.

I'm runing on 1024x768 It's a good size. Coulda even been a little bigger.

I like it in color. The logo on the crate is nicely done.

Thanks – that's the only thing I had to resort to Photoshop for, for its copy/pasting, free transform tool, 'paint daubs' filter, and opaque layers. Does anyone here know if OC even does opaque layers? Or do I have to cast aside my layer crutch?
