The hunchback of Beijing

2006-04-27 (36k image)
Well, there's no arguing about it: my pirates are truly an equal opportunities group! This guy is both a visible minority and a handicapped person! His being asian (chinese?) and hunchbacked makes his seem like he's always bowing, this and his glib tongue makes people tend to underestimate his intelligence and sneakiness. I tried to make his clothing sortof chinese and sortof piratey at the same time, probably failing at both. In the end I gave hima cutlass for the pirateness, though I expect he's probably more of a hand-to-hand martial artist - and much more of a talker than a fighter.

The king of all evil pirates!
He's big, he's mean, he's powerful... His weapon is a... cane... ice pick... thing. You know Long John Silver once killed a man by throwing his crutch at him! Honest! You should read Treasure Island!

Probably a Hassan or Achmed

Pirates, pirates everywhere!
There's always room for an ethnic pirate. I concepted him as an antagonist, but more of an honourable kind of antagonist, one who might just be an ally if his interests didn't conflict with the main characters. The guy who will always keep his word, even to his enemies, and never strikes you in the back.

Also: vulture FTW!

Lady Karess

More pirates? As pirates go, I'd label her as 'evil'. The kind of crazy evil who's all elegant and proper aside from its tendancy to rip people's guts out.

(Love her hat!)

Will the pirates ever stop?! (possibly)
This one was concepted as this guy's crazy old dad. Gun crazy, that is! Possibly other kinds of crazy as well.

It could be said, I suppose, that I am on a roll.
Another pirate, an irish pirate! Or something like that.

One more pirate. Am I on a roll?
Not too sure about the rose bush on her leg. I just wanted to give her a little rose tattoo somewhere, and got carried away. Maybe it's a rosebush stocking? Maybe she should have them on both legs then...

Could be a team mate of yesterday's guy!
Canons and torches and powder and bandages and ropes and chaps and frilly underwear and boots and red hair and one constantly-closed eye for better aiming oh my!

Pie rat

You know how ninjas are often considered to have super-powers just because they're ninjas? Well for some time I've been thinking - what if that also applied to, say, pirates? You're a pirate: bamf! superpowers. What kind of crazy fictional world would that be?

I guess sort of like One Piece, but not.

I've done other sketches on this idea - some of them in the archives - but I believe this is the first I'm happy with. Thoguh some things would still need work before this was an acceptable main character for the concept. Like... the boots are boring. And many of the designs (headscarf, sword hilt, gloves, belt, etc.) need redesigning.

Okay, so here's what happened: I flipped over one card. A shepherd girl! I thought: meh. But then I flipped over a second card. This can fly. Oh-ho!

Shapeshifta sista

2006-04-11 (35k image)
Not that she's actually Aiidedis's sister, but she is definitely the same shapeshifting species. She's a youngster, though, with only three forms so far. Her second form is exactly the same size as her 'human' form, but anthrosquirelish And her third form is... a goofy mountain goat?

I call her Sidoreii.
