Here is Drake as a younger lass, watching her lover's ship sail toward the horizon. I'm not sure if I'm entirely pleased with it, but here it is, anyway.
Inspired, sort of, by a song by Sting:

Sometimes in the light at the edge of the world
Is the ghost of a ship with its black sail furled
And night after night she would stand on the shore
And dream of the love that she knew before

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a thought for the ways of men

We set sail for the Spanish Main
To rob the ships of the Queen of Spain
And she would be his pirate's bride
She gave him the pistol and the sword at his side

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold
To see my love again

EDIT: Fixed some of the problems with her. Not her pose, alas--but I cleaned up her lineart, and added some backlight to make her stand out more from the background.

Oooh, young Drake! I really like the composition -- OMG!! eyeflow, like, you start with Drake and it, like, flows down towards the leaving ship! It's so ... awesome! X3
(Is there a story with that? :3)

Hmm, one thing that's bothering me a wee bit = Drake's pose, it's ... like she's pretending she's pregnant or something. o.O;; I just think it looks a bit too curved or something, hehe. Dunno ... er, yeah. Maybe you captured the moment she stopped running to that cliff edge and she's rebounding?

Or maybe I just need some Dew to wake me up... -.-;

Eh heh. Thank'ee, an-chan! Maybe that's what's bothering me about it as well--she is leaning awfully far back. I think I was probably thinking, "Well, you know, she's all sexy and stuff, and she knows it, so she throws her hips really far forward and leans really far back." But she would probably fall over if she tried to stand like that for long. Of course, one doesn't really think when one draws--one just says, "Oh, cool pose!" and goes with it.

Yay, eyeflow!

Yes, there is a story to it. I'll probably even get around to writing it someday. Or at least parts of it. =^-^=
