after three weeks of not being able to draw i just decided to draw a list of silverclaw's important life stages all the way to her current state, with notes and little details to serve as reminders.
it was a fun, big project to take on that helped me move fully out of an artblock - and a fun way to start out the new years!
---
in case anyone is interested in the lore tho, as a 'quick' summary of the whole thing:
8-10, the only change is the eyebrow scar, which silverclaw got from a near-death experience she got for being an idiot child, the scar fades over time but the slit through her eyebrow remains all her life
12 severely understimulated, a bit of a problematic teenager, just a grumpy little guy that's constantly finding new ways to get into trouble.
14 runs away from home, hops on pirate ships, working as a cabin boy and a petty thief, basically tasted freedom for the first time while masquerading as a boy down on his luck, starts binding when it becomes necessary. for being as small as she is she does get beat up here and there whenever she gets caught so she quickly learns how to not get caught, still it helps build a high-pain-tolerance for later on. a rowdy and unstable life but she's pretty happy.
16-17 meets blackhawke, who eventually takes a liking to her and sees her as a potentially loyal second-in-command (he had just gotten betrayed by his last second, which resulted in him getting stabbed in the eye so he's now looking for ways to ensure his second will die for him... for more than one reason), blackhawke figures that she's crossdressing pretty early on, with his mentorship she allows herself to present feminine for the first time, experimenting with her appearance while being trained by blackhawke until she reaches the point to be his right-hand-woman.
19, tragedy strikes, the kraken encounter destroys blackhawke's ship, makes silverclaw lose her arm and she's barely saved by a witch who blackhawke owes a grand debt... the said debt and blackhawke's destiny gets inherited by silverclaw against her will. the claw is also given to her again without her say as a way to tie her to the destiny. alcoholic mess for the whole year dealing with chronic pain and intense ptsd.
20 is when she cons her way into being hired as an 'experienced' captain (a total lie), she gets the job from an eccentric rich guy with a fascination in sea monsters after telling her story with the kraken and being the sole survivor. she eventually betrays her employer to go back to the pirate life, steals her own ship which is now named 'the She-Devil'. her coat's left sleeve gets stitched back together after she rips it off in a fit previously, as a symbol of her stitching her life back together after the loss of her arm.
22-26 is just where all of her nonsense adventures happen, classic pirate shenanigans lol, lots of broken hearts and bones.
28 is when she gets her 'classic' ensemble and lastly 29 is when she gets her lip scar + the fang replacing her canine as well as a magical spear. she also gets over her fear of the depths by some degree and gets entangled with more creatures of the deep - now on her own terms
