Oh, look, more Pirate characters! Avast!

Took a weeks' holiday recently, and went down south. Ended up near the sea, and kind of got inspired to draw this. Unfortunately, I've not had chance to digitize it properly yet, but I'd like to put some decent inks on it, at some point. Maybe some colour, too.

She doesn't have too much backstory, yet. Her actual name is 'Modwen' (A good, solid Cornish name) but she uses Ruth, her middle name, because less people ask stupid questions about it. It also flows nicer when you stick 'Red' in front of it, an allusion to her MASSIVE head of shaggy, frizzy ginger hair. What does she do? I dunno, what to pirates do these days? Terrorise international shipping? Consume vast amounts of alcohol? Devise surprisingly egalitarian methods of distributing the shiny stuff they've stolen from other folks?

I don't know, but I had fun drawing her. Wanted to try and cross some Celtic/Brythonic elements in there with the generic pirate-y schtick. Other than that, I've got... not a lot! Maybe that bottle of grog, and that suspiciously iron-age looking sword might have some storytelling potential.... maybe she's just another dusty-footed cutie in the gallery?

(and those of you who know your UK geography -there must be a few of you, right?- might get the pun... I hope )
