I know this is late, but I DID start it on Talk like a Pirate Day...! This picture came to be for a number of reasons. Obviously, to celebrate a really cool holiday X3 Also cause I loved Pirates of the Caribbean and Tony gave me this really cool book about girl pirates.
So I just got to thinking that Ao Li would make a kick-ass pirate captain. and whilst looking at Lip Service's webpage, I found this really neat pirate-like shirt, so I based Ao Li's shirt on that. It's not exact, but I think it's still pretty cool.
In the original sketch I did, I gaver her baggier pants with the thigh-high boots, but someone thought they were weird puffy momiji-like shorts, so I ditched those >__> Ao Li's dreds were inspired by our recent summer students, cause she had the coolest loose, wiry dreds <3 I wanted them. So, I gave them to Ao Li instead. And what's a pirate without a piratey pet? X3 I love that monkey X3!!
I spent a LOT of time on this @__@ I drew Ao Li n' the monkey in Paintchat and coloured it there as well. Thought she deserved a background, so I added that in painter n' fixed a few things as well. Added a few lens flares on shiny treasures in Adobe and voila!
p.s. I know it's a big file, but pleeaaase, if you can, look at the fullview. Also, you may have to press refresh a billion times to fix DA's stupid stretch n' squashing problem @__@
Awesome! Talk Like a Pirate day was cool.. gotta love it. The pose in this picture is really nice.. and the colors you used really work well with the overall presentation... Nice job!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
