Sheets Seven & Eight

This sheet is kind of just a collection of miscellaneous silhouettes with no theme or connection, I was kind of just getting down some generic pirate shapes, nothing particularly inspirational to me.

I ended up getting a lot of silhouettes out of this base, explored quite a few ideas and I think I have come closer to reaching a final design, I think I am going to take inspiration from the Silhouettes in Sheets Three & Six and this one, to create 3 more, slightly more detailed silhouettes to then move on to my iterations, that works out nicely as it brings me to 100 silhouettes as well.

I was trying to not go with the cliché idea of adding a parrot to the pirates shoulder, but in the end I liked the versions with a rat on his shoulder, somewhat of a cliché still, but I like it.

In one of my reference images I used, There was an image with some guys with turbans, I thought it would be an interesting variation from the typical pirate hat, as I felt it was a bit corny maybe, and I thought simply a bandanna was a bit boring, I tried out some of the other hats that I have been using in the past already, like the top-hat and the bowler hat, I kind of liked them but I do really like the turban, in interesting, and kind of mysterious  which was something that I mentioned that I would like the capture in the soldiers character before.
