Title: Female Ghost Pirate- ¿Ideas?
Post by: Andy R on January 01, 2011, 23:11:33
I’m thinking of building a female ghost pirate, but I’ve never seen a body for one. ¿Any ideas on how to do this?

(I guess MacGayver has come up with some ideas already, but I couldn't tell where it is ...)

Since women on board a ship were often seen as "unlucky" would ghost pirates who are undead and unable to enjoy anything (using the Pirates of the Caribean example for this) even want a further reminder of their state?   ;D :P

well, considering the ghost pirates are SKELETONS, technically, you wouldn't have to necessarily use a female torso to make it a female ghost pirate.  I would just create the suggestion of it being female by hair and accessories....

Hmmmm.....I'll try and make one just for fun and see if it works.

well then, you're only other option then is to get a female torso and paint it to look like a ghost pirate body.  They do sell glow-in-the-dark paint, so you can even make it glow just like the stock playmo ghost pirates.

I used the torso from the magical ocean queen 4816.   

It turned out o.k.....no bones though...

It will need a female torso to prevent it from looking like a pirate in drag! ;)

Yes I suppose it might look that way.  ::)

I have some "male" pirate klickies that already look like girls IMO.  In fact, one of the ghost pirate klickies in the 3-pack set already looks like a girl to me.  The one with orange hair.  Simply because of the hair.

But some pirates in general do sort of look like they ARE in drag, depending on how fancy they are.  Some have long hair, powdered wigs, even white stockings (like Captain hook) with shiny brass buckles, and some even wear makeup, including powdered faces, blush, lipstick, and even in the case of Disney's Jack Sparrow--- EYELINER (aka "GUYliner,").  lol

It's funny how the styles of dress that are considered masculine or feminine entirely depend on where or when you live. Cowboys of the wild west wore flowered shirts and high heels.

and don't forget tassles!  (which was more of a native american-influenced fashion).  Flowered shirts, especially those worn in the southwest, are fashion remnants from Spanish influence over local culture in that region at the time.  Southwest cowboys and some Mexicans today still wear those same fashions.  I have several of those flowered shirts, which are ornately-embroidered (like doylies).  I have been asked, on occassion, why am I wearing a woman's blousse, when in fact it was a man's flowered shirt.  (I also have been accussed of wearing "pink" to which I dispute it is not pink, but rather "salmon coloured").  But I digress.  bb, you and I and BB are the MASTERS OF OFF-TOPIC, lol.

SO GETTING US BACK ON TOPIC…
I used the torso from the magical ocean queen 4816.
It turned out o.k... no bones though...
I have her, and was thinking the same thing, except she’s got some “bare skin” I’d have to coverup somehow…
I’m taking a list of other suggestions (pink, flowers, etc), so don’t think I didn’t notice. (EVERYTHING.)
