Scrimbly Jacqueline 46/52: POV: the last thing you see before you're stabbed and your chocolate is stolen along with your nice fabrics and shiny things
aka, Pirate Jacqueline!
tbh I'd never given much thought to her pirate fit? I always pictured her dressing like my dnd pirate character Aster lol, which was greens and browns. But then I was like. Dani. Dani. They loved colourful fabrics and shit, them pirates! And Jacqueline can change her wardrobe using SNOW AND ICE. So....let's give it a go!
And so I did! And voila!
I knew she wore a big floppy hat for sure, from the get go, with feathers--though I only decided on the amount and colour while scribbling concepts in one of my older sketchbooks!
I once again used this handy dandy webbed site and went through the styles of the golden age of piracy (roughly 1650 to 1720, which is when she was active) and then built the fit from that
The feathers are warm bc summer sprite lineage, and a purple one bc I like purple and also think it's deffs in the winter sprite palette!
I added some wintertime plants too, just for funsies 🤭🤭 there's snow drops and holy in that bitch!
The corset/bodice/stays is early half of the century; the clasps across it have snowflakes in the middle, that's what the white streak is lol
The white swirls on the jacket and boots (tho I forgor to put 'em there) and hat are all just frost! Her frost usually looks swirly on smooth surfaces :3
The jacket is a mix between mens jacket's in the late 1700s and a ladies riding fit, I believe
She deffs had a half thawed, have frozen look going on with the hair! The humidity deff wouldn't have let a freeze job stay put for long.
I can't decide if it was as pictured, or reverse (roots brown, ends snowy), or like a kind of like. Weave? Mix? Marble cake? I can't think of the word I am looking for for this but IT WILL COME TO ME
BUT LIKE. SOME FROZEN TENDRILS, SOME THAWED ONES
She dual wielded usually! Deffs had a pistol somewhere, and is deffs strapped with daggers--that's why she's got the baggier pants instead of a more fitted fit (lol). I think she was pretty okay at throwing them!
Her crew was mainly women and she took in anyone trying to escape "bad" conditions--interpret that how you will! Needless to say, it was a very very gay ship lmao
When steamships came around and crackdowns on piracy really began, she made sure each and every one of her crew was settled down nice with a substantial sum before doing lady knows what to her ship and running off with a goddess to go live amongst ancient all female warriors for a bit and learn some cool new fighting techniques >:)
Also please take this bonus scribble I did while I was scribbling the concepts because it made me. f e e l t h i n g s
