Look at how perfectly the year starts and ends with Purpure and Lucinda Longstride!
I still plan to illustrate the Lotus Crew and other various Lionesses next year, and the years after that.

Arghtober 13: Reperant Corsair.
“When will I get to go to sea again?”
I found the word Reparant a difficult one to interpret. In French it means "observation" or "lookout", while in Latin it means "renew" or "revive". So I took both senses for this picture.

Purpure's running away from the long arm of the law (and long legs to boot).

“We're best friends forever!”
If Purpure and Lizzie lived in the 21st century instead of the 19th, they'd be Y2K besties for one thing.
My take on loving the sea comes from the fact that good friends are also a kind of love worth pursuing.
