Magazine Design/Illustration: Survival

This is the fist page of the "Survival of the Fittest" feature. I had a ton of fun with this. The feature was all about how, to be viable, a crew member must be able to do more on board the boat than ever before. Otherwise they might loose their job to a more qualified competitor. Anyway, the very word "survival" immediately conjured up the works of Frank Frazetta. That and the poster for the first "Vacation" movie served as inspiration for the above illustration. I only wish that I had time to paint the piece and really amp it up with some chiaroscuro. Next time...
