TO KISS THE SEA Character Art: Captain Foraoise Dare

What TKTS character art reveal would be complete without the one that started it all?

When @celipher first mentioned drawing the morally gray antagonist from my book (At the time it wasn't even finished yet!) I couldn't believe someone wanted to create art based on one of my characters. He did a spectacular job and, more importantly, I made a new friend in the process!

And of course thank you to @foraoise.writes for letting me use your name when you won the fairytale guessing game WAY back when I first started talking about TKTS. Clearly there was no other name meant for Captain Dare!

[Image: A digital art piece of the pirate Captain Foraoise Dare, main antagonist of the fairytale retelling novel TO KISS THE SEA by @ccwriter_ ; Artwork created by @celipher ; While Captain Dare is only in her early 40s, a hard life spent sailing the seas has given her a weathered appearance. One side of her head is shaved down, revealing a scar that wraps around half of her skull. The rest of her long, dark red hair is pulled into a braid hanging over one shoulder. She stands on the deck of her ship, the 'Maiden's Revenge', in the middle of a storm, green eyes staring out at the horizon and long coat flapping behind her. One knee-high boot is braced on a cannon, and a sword is pointed down in her opposite hand.]
