Well, I first started out making a pinterest board using reference on monster characters. Then I decided to go ahead and try a few pirate characters. I just might go ahead and make a few monster characters too.

Here is my pinterest board I used for research.

Next I started my sketches using Ps and the brushes Matt Kaufenberg

supplied everyone. I started out with the girl pirate then went on to the captian. Next I thought I'd add a skipper to the team. Together I thought they looked pretty bad ass!

Finally, I added them together with a background, overall I'm pleased with this!
