I'm so glad to be finished with this! This is one of the main characters in my series of short stories about mystical/mythical heriones... she might look "odd" because she's not all human (part siren XD).

I used open Canvas for the line work (it was drawn on paper and scanned first though), and Photoshop for the brushing/colouring and what have you. The original size was something like 2000x3000, so there's a few details lost. But I really like it, cuz I don't usually do backgrounds. and that's about it!

Oh, oh... she is French, so her name doesn't actually sound like 'Charles' in English... it's more like 'Sharle' if you want to say it right. I don't think it's a French name... but I thought the end result sounded pretty... she puts Charles on papers to gather a crew, and everyone thinks it's a man... then they're surprised when they find she's a woman ^_^ also "duMer" would be something like "of the sea." It would actually be something like "delaMer" if I wanted to be totally correct, but that sounded horrible! DuMer is much cooler! haha, I'll stop now XD
