Character Design - Raven

This is an oil sketch of Raven, the scourge of the seven seas. She is a pirate and I was inspired to create her when I first started going to the Renaissance Festival in Texas. I bought some pieces of an outfit and I sketched out what my outfit should look like when it was done. Thus, Raven was born. She's a fiery pirate captain that knows what she wants and always finds a way to get it. She has a pet two-headed raven, Emerald and Crimson.
I did this paintings sketch during class when I just didn't feel up to painting my original three-headed hydra-woman.
