This was meant to be a quick picture, but wound up taking me hours. O.o I really have to get the last couple picture presents completed next.

Tuesday 'Tipsy-on-Screech' Murphy, Fianna ragabash and brewmaster.

It's really difficult to draw age onto characters. Tipsy is supposed to be a youthful looking 40 year old (if you ask her she'll claim to be 35). I tried to put a hint of her age in around her eyes, but the hair covered that slight bit laugh lines on the side of the eyes.

I originally made this character in the late 90s, but she hasn't been roleplayed much. She's frequently popping up in our games though. A Newfoundland native whose family owns and operates both a brewery and pub (she works in both).

Screech - a 40% alcohol rum from Newfoundland. Very potent, nearly like moonshine.
Sláinte! - Irish Gaelic for 'Cheers!'

(Probably the character's theme song. lol )

Jakey's Gin
Great Big Sea

Drink 'er up boys its well after ten!
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten!

Some people say that the pinky is fine
Others will swear by a drop of moonshine
But as for myself I'm a bottle of each,
mixed in with a gallon of dipper or screech
