Mel, the main character in my pirate stories!

Her concept has been around for over 10 years but I never got a reference sheet done of her. I reworked her design earlier this year so I figured now was as good a time as any to get a reference sheet done.

Probably the hardest part of this wasn't actually the pictures, but deciding what information to include. Her character profile in my own files is over 5 A4 pages long, so I had to be really selective about what to put on here so that you weren't overloaded with information - plus I didn't want to give away too much that's meant to be revealed through the story itself. Hopefully the info here will give you a basic understanding of her character without going into too much detail.

Will I get around to making reference sheets of the other characters in her world/story? Perhaps! But considering how long it took me to get this one done, I'm not going to make any promises.

Note: Mel's species, "Purithyan squirrel monkey", is a fictional species with a resemblance to other squirrel monkeys, though they haven't been studied very closely by the zoologists of her world so their exact taxonomy isn't clear. The word "Purithyan" (pronounced "puh-rith-ee-an") simply refers to Purithym ("puh-rith-im"), the archipelagic region that Mel's story takes place in.
