Powder Monkey


Powder Monkeys were the explosives experts/handlers on the ship - hence the mass amounts of dynamite slung over one shoulder, large bag of gun powder at the hip, and (my personal favorite) the bag full of bowling ball bombs :) T'was a greatly fun challenge me hardees - land ho!

  1. that's really fantastic Zach. the color choices are excellent for a dingy powder-keg guy, all dirty all the time. Love the detail in things like the leather straps and buckles. The wrinkles feel a little forced to me, but maybe that's a style choice too. It's wicked good. nice job.

  3. Despite the name's whimsical sound, the job was hazardous. Powder monkeys had to navigate narrow, slippery passages while carrying explosive materials, often while the ship was under heavy fire.
