Description

EDIT: changed the color - lots, and added some texture. Much better and more suited to the title now, I think. ^^


Convoluted story for this thing:

Sketched while at a book signing/live reading of Cherie Priest's work, specifically Dreadnought. Nothing much to do with the subject matter, but worth mentioning, because her work is good. ^^

The story of the title is a little more relevant: when I was little, I lived in Ontario. Every year we'd get brochures and such in the mail from Stratford, Ontario, which is something of a theatre mecca. One year, there was a production of something post-shipwreck-based (not The Tempest, but probably an homage anyway), and I vividly remember the billowy sailcloth-like skirt on one of the figures in the poster for it. Over ten years later, this makes me think of that.

I love the subtle difference between background and figure coloration
