Pirates of the Mediterranean

Just wanted to make a quick update to inform you all that I shall be focusing on my writing this week and that there will, in all likelihood, be no further updates until after this Sunday, when my writing shall be due. After that, I plan on posting the first actual pages of the comic with the hope for future updates to fall upon a regular schedule (that I am still working out). This does not mean the end of character portraits; I actually quite enjoy them and do not see them stopping, but plan on posting them as additional content outside of some schedule. (Have to keep you all on your toes somehow.)

After several long months of waiting, finally the first page of the comic is here. And it is also, coincidentally enough, the last page. This is the comic.

Now introducing Ieise Óg Ó hAodha (that’s Jesse Hughes Jr. to those that don’t understand the Irish Gaelic) in all of his...glory? At the age of twenty-two, he’s lived quite a hard life, and only vaguely resembles our nation’s first President.

Wow, I’ve been breezing through these. Though there will likely be a break between this one and the next as I have to find the right reference, and I want to focus a bit on my writing before the tenth.

So that there might not be any further misconceptions as to who the subject of these portraits may be, I shall now include their names, though on the safe side I shall say this now: this is not George Washington.

Meet Breogán Vázquez de Noia y Expósito in all of his love-child-of-Miguel-and Tulio-and-Chell glory.

Well it’s certainly been quite a while. While this is not quite the final product, this at least is a step (laterally) from MS Paint concept art... I plan to post more of these portraits in the coming days (though other work might keep me a bit busy so don’t expect a regularly-scheduled upload).

But hey! At least all of this means we’re getting closer to actual pages! That’s an accomplishment, right?

(Also, I feel the need to point out that this is an actual character from PotM, not just knock-off George Washington. He’s not even English!)
