Drawing while listening to this kind of pirate music - it was the most epic way to create ever! You should really check out their works, these composers are amazing.
I don't think anybody knows, but I mostly sketch pirates. And I never even coloured one of them. But now was about the right time...
The sun is rising. All night long the storm raged over the seas. Now a new day dawns over the calm waters. New horizons wait for us! Many storms are yet to come and many adventures lie ahead beyond the waves. Life is an endless journey to which we all must surrender, but for this moment - you enjoy the one silent view of the new daylight. And you cannot help but feeling grateful. And you cannot help but looking forward to the next time the sea will create a wondrous tumult again. Because that is what seas do every now and then, just like life. And you know you love it.
"Because a ship is safe in harbour, but that's not what ships are for."
(Yeah, I am so very fond of metaphors, it is almost embarrassing)
(and yes, her look is inspired by PotC... as is the colour scheme. Next time I might draw her with a beard made of tentacles, arrrrr)

This is stunning! There is such a warm atmosphere that matches her facial expression beautifully. The textures really add to the overall look of the piece. You should definitely try more color work with your pirates

Aaaah I really love this one! I saw it a while back on FB but I still wanted to let you know, lol. Pirates are awesome, lady pirates are even more so. 
Do you have a backstory for her? If not, you should write one 
That music is super epic as well. I made a pirate playlist for spotify myself a few months back, if you ever need more pirate-y vibes.

thank you!
There is a backstory for her. Her original name is Yawa, her father is the leader of a gloomy and rainy country of which more than 60% is only sea. She's a very stubborn girl, breaks traditions all the time and is pretty much frustrated because she can't be the successor of her father only because she's a girl. But put her on a ship and she is one happy girl and all will obey her and she can be free. (I wrote the story when I was 11 years old, so it's not much, but still I like the character)
Too bad I don't have spotify

Haha yeah, the romanticised ones. 
That's a great story.
I have this story that I'm currently writing (well it's sort of on hold atm because I mainly get inspiration during the summer, not sure what that is) and one of the major side characters is a female pirate captain. I do have a rough backstory for her but I'm still planning to flesh it out some more at some point because even if she's not a point of view character in the story, I still really like her.
You can log in to Spotify with Facebook but I understand if you don't want to. I can always give you the names of the songs on the list in a FB message so you can look them up yourself.

Indeed, just as the way they portray life in Rome or ancient Egypt and stuff... it looks amazing, but no way it used be like that
Well, it's allmost summer... sort of 
Yeah I should get Spotify by now, I guess...

Oooo, and thanks for the link! I love Tom Smith (recognise his style anywhere!), he's one of the funniest people ever, but he also wrote an amazing song about Hellraiser. Good bloke.

Yeah, can't wait! Got distracted by the sudden appearance of a spinning-wheel at my house (don't you hate it when that happens?!), so I haven't even opened my sketchbook ...

I love the texture of this piece. It lends itself to the expression on her face and makes it feel more raw and real.

Thank you, I am glad it gives that effect ^^ It actually was kind of accidental.
