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!
