The Barbossa pair sketch commission

5th sketch done for the special offered slots here: [link]

Colored sketch commission for

Requested were Hector Barbossa and her character Clarice Newheart.

I am not sure how much information about the characters should I write here, so i just pick few and summarize.

They're a married couple that are pirates so they don't have easy lives and seek refuge in each other. If you can evoke the feeling of the ocean/sea/a pirate ship that would work really well as well!

As for her personality Clarice is a very strong woman who fights for herself but loves Barbossa very deeply. They both realize that being pirates their lives could end any day and they have to love each other as much as they can while they still can. The dynamic between them is a very heated, intense relationship but in a loving way. They truly care for each other but they are also very attracted to each other. They're always touching or kissing in some way.

I suggested to implement a playful apple flirt between them and the commissioner was so kind to let me use the idea. Clarice is leaning on a ledge on a ship and the background was supposed to give the impression of stormy sea - the unsettling waves.
