Thirty pages, day 21

Day 21: in honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day.\n\n\n\nTrying for an anime/manga style this time, so we're not exactly swimming in verisimilitude here. Sorry, just wasn't in the mood for scurvy and rotting teeth today. Maybe imagine she's an sky pirate on a ship outfitted with a full-service salon, pillaging the penthouse suites of the rich and famous -- I call her \"Big Bad Stilla\" of the airship \"Le Mannequine,\" in honor of my favorite sea dog.\n\nToday's main points of concentration: fabric, pose, foreshortening, costume design. If I squint, I think maybe my foreshortening works for once. Yes, I know her hands need something to do. I have no idea what a bad-ass anime sword looks like anymore -- except for Cloud's, which I think we would all agree would be a mistake. So! There you go.\n\nArrrrrrr.
