Description
Ching Shih Β was one of the most powerful pirates in history, terrorizing the China Sea in the early 19th century. Her fleet included more than 300 junks and 40,000 pirates. Though she challenged the Qing Dynasty and the great British and Portuguese empires, she remained undefeated and was one of the few pirates to ever retire from piracy.Related content

In a sense, she is the Mother of Hong Kong, and they retain her independent spirit.

Whoa, I admire her for her accomplishments, especially when I think of the role women were expected to play in many societies. And the art you've done for her has made her even more admirable! Had I not stumbled upon this piece, I would have never gotten to learn more about her, or even know that she existed!

Awesome! Ching Shih was such a badass, and your portrayal does not disappoint. I love her design, pose, and expression, and the details throughout the image (particularly on the chair) are incredible. Great work!
