Brief was to use more aquatic tones (greens/blues) with complementary gold trimmings to be in keeping with a pirate theme. Various options for basing were discussed, but in the end we settled on a relatively simple composition placing the figure on a rock surrounded by shallow water and weeds. This nicely reflected the pose of the model itself, which is dramatic but still.
