the contest!
Here is a picture I drew of my character with her wonderful new pet.
If you are reading this and you want to say something to me about it, feel free! I'm on YPP a lot, and it's almost always as Fenestra on Hunter. Sometimes you'll find me by that name on another dub ocean. /tell me what you think! If I don't answer you right away, it is not because I hate you; most likely I am afk or distracted by shiny things. I am a diehard chat-logger, so even if I'm not awake when you send me your tell, I'll still be able to read what you said. Or you can post on the
Four Panels message board, or send an email to bork (at) napoleon (dot) xidus (dot) net. It is up to you!
Finally, for the curious: mechanical pencil loaded with B lead; #1-sized brush and black acrylic ink; trusty scanner and Paint Shop Pro. Almost all of the colors were pulled from game screenshots. The fonts used are

synopsis: "One day Peggy Pig decides that she's not content to just watch the pirates go to and fro at the docks; she wants to have an adventure too! The only problem is that nobody will let her come with them, because 'pigs can't pillage'. Will Peggy get her adventure?"
