Penny da pirate by @jesshaye (Jessica Hayes)

A rough concept, and color concept, for a new comic character called Penny (short for Penzance, get it?). She was born a boy, cursed to be a girl, but she still tries to go about pirate ways, despite it's prejudice attitude. But she really doesn't care, she thinks of the body not as her own and still runs about as if a man, so she's completely baffled when treated differently than men.

The final version of her has a slightly different hair style, and three additional tattoos, but that doesn't matter seeing as one is on her belly, one on her back, and the other on the hand that's mysteriously missing, so you're not missing anything. Artwork © Copyright 2003 Jessica Hayes
