May June July

May June July - pencil and ink

I'm seriously starting to worry about the amount of sleep I'm getting, because I keep updating my blog in the middle of the night. As I promised, I will present you the one that started my "obsession" for creating backgrounds to characters. May, the lookout of the pirate ship Moonlight, was my first character I started developing. When I was a child, if my memory serves me right, my friend presented me with a notebook and told me that she and our mutual friend were writing a story about a pirate ship and it's crew. In a way I forced them to take me "on board" and even though I was a crappy writer I enjoyed it very much. We came up with the name May June July when I discovered that they all could be used as female names. July was originally supposed to be the second middle name (I've absolutely no idea if the term is even correct, but you get the point.), but when I couldn't think of a last name for her, it was decided, that July would be her last name. May also has a cat, Kitty, who is a very efficient rat hunter.

I used pencils and ink in this picture. Because May is not a role playing character, I didn't add a scene to this picture, but just simply an every day routine of hers.
