There are a couple of stray purple pixels on the mast. And the window color is non-standard.

I very well might be wrong so please correct me if necessary but I refer to this guidelines where it says "Windows: #1873FF or RGB 24,115,255". And when I open your image in my editor it shows your windows color as #0080FF or RGB 0,128,255... :?

Wonderful drawings, on par with the "Rolling Ressies" done earlier. May I just, though be a party pooper and point out a few eeny-teeny errors on the otherwise attractive Victoria:
The forwardpilot house and aft secondary pilot house have too small, that is, too 'square' windows. One obvious way and the simplest, would be to just raise them two pixels to the edge of the roof. That way you'd accomplish the necessary 'tallness' of those windows. Also, I'd recommend moving the forward-most pair more forward, so that the leading edge of the first window will coincide with the pilot house wall side. If you study the many photos of the Victoria you'll understand. Also the Admirals' walkway taff-rail is too simple and in the wrong color. The cast iron bars could often be quite elaborate, in spite of a strive to simplify decorations etc since the demise of the wooden liner. I'd also noticed that a set of pollards are missing adjacent to the aft 10" gun placement, and so, too, is one likewise missing at the extreme bow, just above, and, in fact, slightly inbetween the forwardmost hawsepipe and bow scroll. Otherwise just a most magnificent work of a true artisan!

These are great drawings DP, regardless of the criticism, they still rank as some of the best.

Just want to clarify, in case someone misunderstood: I do think DP:s drawings are in master-class. I have a special affinity for the Victorian era and its usually quite bizarre, but at the same time wonderfully innovative, almost Jules Vernesque ships' designs. So, any criticism or suggestions on my part is only because I love the subjects of DP:s artistery so, so much. :D

Thank you for your comment, can you point it out in the drawing with red lines and arrow?
