Captain Rose! in bondage! Shes a former pirate queen who is currently engaged in an anthropological expedition to assist late neolithic societies in modernizing to the sky pirate age. Advancements have been hindered by small issues with communication but she hopes in time to convince them of the merits of using ROUND wheels at some point in the near future. Plus side? Free teddy bears literally everywhere.
Rosebud edition (Explicit)
This is a sequel to an image I made with Pixel Inquisitor pixel-inquisitor.deviantart.co… six and a half years ago.

Heh, I was just looking at the original picture, and saw that you said you wanted to redo it sometime. Just assumed it was another project that fell by the wayside, so quite a surprise to see it redone.
Your writing talent really shines through even in that short description. Redefining being abducted and gagged by jungle savages as some kind of charity mission with communication problems is genius.
As for the drawing itself, you did carry through my thoughts as to how a jungle ponygirl would be decorated: Rough leather, facepaint, and feathers. Quite an elaborate assortment of leather strands to form a sort of bra/chest harness, there. The piercings on the rosebud version are well-thought out as well.
Personally, I think the coat the one Goblin is wearing would probably be a lot muddier and in much rougher shape, especially if Rose has been working with these goblins for quite a while. Still, minor quibble.

Yeah this scenario with Captain Rose was always something I was going to come back to but I didn't want to rush it. There's a lot of texture variations in a set up like this that isn't really present in any of my other pictures. Feathers, rocks, shells, beads, leather, wood, vines, fur, leaves ext, throw in some white hair to boot. Its all organic but each surface has to be unique in some way. Working out a balance between the tans needed for dirt, skin, wood and fur knowing that its all going to occupy the same general area is a lot more challenging then anything else I generally do.
I'll put a pin in this right now and say that this is definitely a concept I'll be revisiting again down the road but probably not as seasonally as Shanoa and the straitjacket pictures.
As always I welcome your input and let me know if you have any ideas you want drawn out.
