This is Timaea, William Newgate’s Elven companion (in more ways than one). Once again, this is one is trying to replicate the engraving-style illustrations from General History of the Pyrates.
Once again, I don’t think I got the shading right, especially for the water in the background. It clearly does add depth and texture to the pictures, but I still don’t think my application of it is correct. Again, in the actual drawings, the engraving lines are used to signify any colour or texture in the image, since they’re entirely monochrome.
In case the pose isn’t clear, she’s got her back to us and she’s looking over her shoulder.
William Newgate is at least tangentially inspired by William Kidd, whereas Timaea doesn’t really correspond to any historical female pirate, though the whole “outliving the male captain she’s most associated with” angle does have at least a bit in common with Anne Bonny who does kinda disappear from the historical record after the capture of Calico Jack’s crew, but is attested to in some sources as being released from prison and living to be almost ninety.
Timaea will be getting an Encyclopedia entry later today.
