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.

I love the detail of the boning in the corset. Remind me not to annoy her.

The design in the tricorn hat is A. Also her exaggerated cuffs are great.
I really like the shading you did on the face. She does look like you!

How lovely! The light is fantastic: harsh but still very rich. And the costume is wonderful too.

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!

I like the drawing style you used on this...very scratchy, and yet sharp. It's unique.

That is some rack. Although she looks like she might cut me for saying so.
Piratesses are always win, and I especially like the straight and scratchy of this. The slight translucency in parts is very PotC, somehow.
