Now that I have decided to continue in the pirate direction, I started getting a bit rough with the silhouettes, I kind of started giving him a sort of poncho like thing, and I liked that, It's quite an American western/South American thing, but I think it could still work, it could look nice anyway, I started trying around some variations of a poncho wearing pirate, and I do like it so far, it's a nice change from the long coats that most of the variations have been wearing so far. I tried out a variation, wear the poncho was simply an item of clothing and didn't cover the soldiers arms, but I felt that when it covers his arms, it makes him look quite menacing and mysterious, kind of what I am going for.
These are some more variations, I was mixing in some elements of some of the older silhouettes, like the top hat for example, but he doesn't really look like a pirate any more, I was also experimenting with some peg-legs. The guy on the left is a kind of Jack Sparrow character, the head at least, I like the idea of the pirate hat over the bandanna, and kind of dreadlocks with accessories in them, but he still has the poncho.
Bonus: just added a hood to the Sparrow guy while I was writing this, I thought it looked quite nice.
