Beat a personal time/detail goal with this one!

And so I present the ladies of the Obsidian, Captain Scarlet Waters and Heiti.
The goal here was to make Scarlet look distracted and in deep thought with somewhat of a lonely feeling. I wanted to draw them together because these two are the only females on the ship and I think Scarlet would secretly love the cat's company for this reason. She'd never admit it, but she does get rather lonely and craves the occasional interaction with someone more feminine.

I think this will forever be one of my favorites. I don't often draw cats, but I think she turned out alright. I'm proud of a lot of the details, especially the fire and smoke. I usually skimp out of Scarlet's outfits because I find drawing intricate clothing daunting and intimidating, but I sucked it up and tried to make something actually piratey! I also included things like jade, turquoise, and carved ivory in her hair to demonstrate her global sense of fashion (because there would have been a lot of plundering along trading routes going on.) I wanted to portray Scarlet as something between feminine and careless, which is why her hair is messy with elegant accessories, and her outfit is mix-and-matched, and she's got a cigar and dirty nails. I don't know, I just feel like I finally managed to portray the Scarlet in my head instead of half-assing her appearance like usual.
