So, here's some more TomPreston parody work, and as with the last piece, this is also AtlantaTheAristocrat 's fault. We were talking about Alex Ze Pirate (as well as Canadian-Rainwater 's Captain Fashion Faux Pas) and we talked about the how the story and characters could be heavily improved upon (along with all the damned anachronisms that pop up in the Alex Ze Pirate comics). So, Atlantian talked me into trying my hand at making a sexy lady pirate character...

...And then like usual said sexy lady pirate wound up getting into my NeverRealms setting. Soooo, sexy dark fantasy post-apocalyptic lady pirate? There's errors in this image (such as her left hand being all around flipper-ish and I got the flintlock pistol wrong in places), but I'm okay with the image in the end. : )

So, here's Captain Lexine Read. She is a legendary pirate hailing from the Golden Age of Piracy. She sold her soul to both Lucifuge Rofocale and Mephistopheles without either Demon Lord knowing of the others transaction until it was too late. I'll elaborate more on Lexine's back story in future pieces. Let's just say the name "Lexine Read" is an alias. Oh, and she's immortal.

As for the parody image itself, the premise is what would happen if Alex Ze Pirate tried squaring off against a professional pirate (I mean come on! If you've read the comics, you'd know Alex isn't very professional), never mind Lexine's immortality. Needless to say, any fight that ensued would be a short one, and poor little Alex Ze Pirate would find herself in a rather...perilous situation. I don't really see Lexine killing off Alex though. Lexine would think Alex too much of a buffoon to finish her off and would probably leave her to wallow around in her perilous peril...because the peril is much too perilous.

Come to think of it, I wish I had drawn Captain Peggy passed out in the background with a nose bleed. Damnit.

Good point, but this is still more of a parody poking fun at TomPreston , so I would prefer it to stay in parody groups. : )

You don't have to, it's just more respectful to do so, otherwise it looks like theft and poor manners.

I don't know how I missed this one! I guess I find Alex ze Pirate less annoying than that rot-awful gummi bear. Your misgivings are still justified and I definitely got a laugh out of the Captain Syrup reference!

Lexine's a fine creation, but my favourite part of this picture might be the dark sea and sky. There's a palpable sense of menace and no telling what lies beyond!

HotaruThodt In reply to jflaxman [2015-04-22 04:28:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, man. I think what annoys me about Alex Ze Pirate is that it has a little potential to be a decent story, but Dobson just resorts to making it bland gag after bland gag. Also, he also treats Atea's sexuality as her defining trait, Talus is "ran dumb (something he bitched about Deadpool via Twitter a few months back), and all of a sudden Alex her is bisexual (even though there's no hint at it whatsoever in the comics), something Dobson said he had been thinking about for "a long time". Riiiiiiiight.
Someone spotted the Captain Syrup reference. That makes me pretty happy. XD

The background was fun to do even if the oil tanker I added (Lexine's pirate base) sort of disappeared back there. : )
Speaking of the Gummy Bear, I have the lines for another parody in my computer's Scrap folder, but I have the attention span of a cabbage so I don't know when I'll be able to finish it.

Lexine's looking really good. Love her big swirling hair and that nice waistline (and the sexy corset). You can draw pistols better than  me too XD The thing on her hat (is it fur? Or feathers?) is pretty impressive too. I love the expression of Alex. She really looks very troubled.

Nice shading too. The photo background and your drawings merge together very well.

HotaruThodt In reply to DarkAsteria [2014-08-12 21:27:55 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I actually had touch up her pistol a bit in PhotoShop since I actually forgot to draw a couple of parts on paper. >_>;
It's supposed to be feathers, but I started painting them in the same manner I normally paint hair and it went a little awry. We'll just say they're fluffies. XD
Alex thinks the peril is just too perilous. XD

As for the photo background, I'm glad I'm finally getting better at blending them with my art. My 2009 stuff looked to obvious. XD

Great work as usual. I love the way you did the hair in particular. And the pose really flatters the pirate captain lady's body shape & proportions.

Hey, thanks. Have you been having anymore luck painting hair in Sai? I could make you a screencap sometimes of my Crayon brush settings. : )

Just with what I uploaded lately, I haven't been practicing apart from that.

Yes, please, that'd be great! I lost my old brush settings and I can't make them just like that again for the life of me!
