Man, this has so many nice details - but I think my favorite is the way the wind is pressing the owl against her face (or maybe it's just going in for a snuggle). It's just so nicely unexpected but adds such tangibility to everything.
Of all your work, I think this is my favourite. The contrast of a pirate as being someone not just intelligent, but educated, is a nice feel, but also, she's just adorable. Until she stabs me with her pen, because... pirate.
Lovely work! Only a *tiny* quibble--to my eye, something about her right wrist where it emerges from the bracelet (which looks awesome, btw) seems just a little bit "off," maybe just a wee bit *too* thin, or too sharply bent--not sure. Otherwise, everything looks fantastic!
