Description Drawn while rewatching PotC: At World's End; I had an urge to draw a piratess, and then realized at the last minute that I had meant it to be more of a pin-up and she was looking pretty clothed, so I tore up her pants a bit. She didn't seem to mind, so long as they don't get in the way.

Meant, obviously, as a companion piece to the girl with the skulls- and we'll have to see whether or not she keeps the name Christabel. Any accidental resemblance to myself is exactly that; I shaded her face while referencing myself in a mirror, so I think that accounts for it.

BlackDove42 [2008-01-19 05:33:48 +0000 UTC]

Very nice. I can see that being an actual name of a woman pirate. But I don't know if they normally would've worn confining buskins like that because it would've restricted movement. From what I recalled about Ann Bonny is that she'd just let her breasts hang out wherever they wanted. No support or anything like that. Admittedly, that's probably not as sexy but I bet that she could use her breasts to distract her foes^^

Beautiful underlighting. Gorgeous coloring, overall. I really dig your style. Its so raw, and so rough, and yet it pulls together in the final. Great rendering and color schemes, with dynamic poses, no matter what they're doing!
