New "Girly Drink" series!

Last year, I received a tiki cocktail book as a gift.  Giddy with excitement to try some of the recipes,  I ended up pouring through the pages laughing over the ridiculous drink names.  Part of tiki drink culture is coming up with exotic, sometimes dangerous and often forbidden-sounding names.  The Missonary's Downfall, Squirrel of Paradise, Shark Tooth, the Zombie...  All make for some great characters and I got to thinking how FUN it would be to paint some of these vixens in my head as a series!


So here's my first "Girly Drink": Pirate Grog.  Although I've been sketching roughs for awhile, this is the first lady I brought into Photoshop to do a quick color study.  She's a lusty pirate wench with a thirst for grog!  More to come!
