Wow Levelord, I have seen some good drawings done in 5 minutes but these are just great. I wish I could put a costume on my characters with the same "authority" that you do. Makes me wonder how long ya been drawing, probably a long time I would assume. You don't have a tutorial on doing this kinda thing do you. I would assume you just practiced drawing the characters from screenshots and model sheets until you nailed but seeing your drawing process would be kinda cool. Anyway, I like both sketches and even though they aren't in proportion they are still very convincing. I think I like the first outfit a little better. Everything works, I like that pirate hat with the feather and funny little skull, the oversized earrings, the string tied across her arm, the high stripped stockings, and the high heel boots. Great work, definitely color these.

Well done artwork.
Pirates normally carried a cutlass, which is a slightly curved short sword. It was curved to aid in slashing, and short as they fought in close quarters. A pirate would normally carry a couple of pistols and a knife.

Cant think of anything to add or remove except to make her bit more scruffy, she's far to neat and tiddy to be a pirate, so scruff up them clothes and maybe the hair but probs not the hair

I might change the stockings to full-length rather than the garter straps. Aside from that, I certainly can't think of anything to change (at least, until I see it in colour). And no need to be so critical. Aside from the guidelines, it's a pretty finished sketch.

I like them both- you're really creative w/ yer outfits, and they come off sexy without being sleezy. Great job- I really like both of them alot.
I say you get out those fancy crayons and get to work!

If I had to say anything, I'd say I'd like the first one, but with boots like she had in the ep

:3 I like them!
I also like the season-one style the have. It's refreshing with alot of people aiming to reproduce the newer style to a T.
I love you finished works, but I love seeing sketches more. There's personality and a hint of elbow grease in them X3

On the weapons ...
1) Officers tended to carry lighter swords ... Kim might be more likely to be an Officer. The lighter swords took more training to use skillfully but the officers had the time for that.
2) The Cutlass had a curved blade but it's main characteristic was that it was also a very heavy blade. Think Meat Cleaver.
3) Pirates tended to carry whatever they wanted ... if they could get it. But a Cutlass would be a popular weapon as would belaying pins and boat hooks.
4) Pirates of the period in question used flint locks which were single shot weapons - not revolvers which typically carry six rounds in a revolving drum. Of course ... pirates have been around as long as there have been ships ... and continue to exist today. Today ... pirates are mostly fishermen who see an opportunity ... but ... there are also highly organized bands with automatic weapons.
I like both drawings. For the one with the stockings ... I like the garter straps and the corset.

Well Levelord, what can I say? Pirate Kimmie is one thing..
But then Pirate Shego is another... YARRR!
believe me if Kim looks good in all of that 18th century gear.. it makes you wonder... what kind of look Shego would have had, had she figured out how to be a pirate..
but then eh, that's just one of my evil little ideas sneaking out of my brain..

I know nothing ... at least compared to some people ...
I've got buddies who are ... or at least were ... into reinactments ... those guys know all kinds of things ... You should hear them after a movie ...
"No way. The buttons were off a Hussars Uniform!! What were they thinking!!!!"
"Yeah ... and those epaulettees ... I could ... no ... I have produced better epaulettes ..."
I'm sorta making some of that up ... but only the specifics ... the gist was very much just like that.
Knowing to much can ruin lots of movies for you. There's a scene in the movie "Platoon" where they're under fire and firing this M-60 machine gun. Well ... being that it was a movie ... they weren't actually shooting real bullets ... but ... for me ... to watch the blank ammo being fed into the weapon just kind of jerked me out of the scene. I wasn't watching soldiers fighting in Vietnam any more ... I was watching a bunch of actors firing blanks ...
*shrug*
