digital black-and-white illustration of Nerea, a heavy-set, older butch with a mohawk thatโs tied into a long ponytail and a lot of tattoos with both maritime and foliage motifs. She also has quite a few scars, most notably one splitting her lip on the right and a few more facial scars as well as a prominent x-shaped one at her biceps and a few smaller cuts around her limbs. She is wearing a tank top and rolled up shorts with a belt, her belly hanging over it a bit. To the left, Nerea is standing on the rigging of a ship, flashing a confident grin at the viewer. One hand is raised in salutations, the other is holding on to the ropes. To the right is an illustration of her sitting on the railing of her ship, smoking a pipe, fishing rod in hand. Her eyes are closed in a content expression. Below, in the bottom right corner is the image that inspired her: "A pumpin used as a fishing boat" by Filippo Morghen from the 1776 book โFantastical Visions of Lunar Life.โ The black and white illustration shows exactly whatโs in the title with some foliage in the background. Some of the foliage, as well as the fishing boat turn up again in the character design too, in the tattoos.
Ahoy! This is Nerea for #30DaysofCharacters, captain of a fishing/gardening vessel called the Chariot, which appears to be ...a pumpkin? ๐ Her produce is so sought after, the port authorities turn the other way regarding her less savory dealings. I'm in love with her
