Please have this, the first panel of my Ed & Stede Halloween Couples Costume Adventure comic. I’ll post the rest in this thread as I finish.
CW: even dumber jokes yet to come!
#OFMD #OFMDfanart #comics
First panel of a grayscale comic. Ed and Stede are front and center at a Halloween Party, a large crowd of vaguely costume figures fill the panel behind them. Stede is wearing a tight fitting sweater vest over a patterned button up shirt with khaki trousers. Perched on his face is a pair of horn rim glasses and a mildly bitchy expression aimed to the right at Ed. Ed is outfitted in a curious mishmash of a costume. Resting on his head like space helmet is a large Venus fly trap-like mask with the mouth agape revealing large rows of teeth and Ed’s sheepish smile. The rest of Ed’s costume is as follows: a mesh crop top with two leaves artfully pinned over his nipples, fishnet stockings, opera gloves where the hands are actually two smaller Venus fly trap puppet heads, and a large cylindrical can of “Maxwell House Coffee” in place of a skirt stuffed with giant leaves and twisty vines that dangle. The dialogue bubble in the image read: Stede: Ed, when you said that you wanted to dress up for this party as “Seymour and Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors”… Ed: Heh. Did I forget to mention the “II”?

Illustration of modern day Stede Bonnet posing in front of his fashion exhibition shop. Stede's supported on his left leg, right leg propped on the wooden a-board sign he's leaning against. He's wearing a silky large blouse, open halfway down his chest, a brick coloured wrap belt and calf lenght loose pants in tangerine tones. These fabrics are paired with golden tall ankle boots, pearl and golden shell sock garters that peek right above them, and pearl jewelry decorating his hands, wrists and hair. Stede's holding an open fan over his face, eyes and cheeky grin peeking above its span, and his left hand is slowly pulling a white ribbon from around his throat. The shop's front is made out of dark teal brick, matching the wood colour of the a-board. Both the window and the text on the board read "Stede Bonnet's Summer Linens Fashion Exhibition, 14h30 to 18h00". A verdant garden lit by the sun is seen to the right of the building.

Extremely close cropped view of an illustration of two small hands, one solid and one ghostly, launching a paper origami boat with a skull and crosses bones drawn on it. The color palette is one of soft pastels. Extremely close cropped view on an illustration of a hand clasped between a pair of other hands. Stede's partial face is visible and he's resting his forehead on the closed hands with his eyes closed. The color palette is dark blues/purples.

Screenshot of AO3, OFMD fic let’s meet in the city where the rivers cross by petrichorca, SonoraWebster, yerbamansa Summary: Recent divorcé Stede Bonnet and long-time Portland bar owner Ed Teach don't know each other, but they're on a collision course. It all starts with a clothing swap. Cropped image from chapter 1 to show only hands, clothes, and river. Full Image description: Digital illustration of Ed and Stede in profile, in a limited purple and teal palette. Ed is holding and looking down at his leather jacket, Stede is holding and looking at a white button down with embroidered flowers cascading down from the shoulders on a hanger. The shirt has a safety pin attached to the tag which also holds the ribbon wrapped around a tiny scroll, because he’s Stede. In the background is a clothing rack with hangers, but separating them is a teal Willamette River.

I have a pair of handmade plushies available - original Star Trek Spock and Kirk.
These were commissioned in March and the customer has since ghosted me, so I'm finally trying to sell them on. I guess my fault for trusting people to pay after production.

How long was he locked away? What did Mad Low want with him? And is he really just an average human mortal man? Haunted by a recurring dream of a beautiful man in a raven mask and the burning conviction someone he loves very much is out there, Stede searches for answers, and begins to suspect he may have had a role in a failed magical ritual that plunged the world into chaos and flooding—held only at bay by the mysterious Blackbeard.

Drawing of Stede from Our Flag Means Death. He's holding an open book. He's wearing little round glasses and a dark teal and pink robe. It's open deep to show his chest. His burn and knife stab scars are visible. There's a tiny tattooed heart above his exposed nipple. Sir, your tit.

There was a new Orville Peck song out last week, so we got celebratory new art! A digital drawing of western AU Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach from Our Flag Means Death. They’re sitting in the back of a rusty. Old green pickup truck. Ed’s back is leaning against the cab. He has on knee pulled up towards his torso and the other extended. He’s holding a cigarette in his right hand. Stede is lying on the bed of the truck with his legs propped up on the truck’s cab. Ed has his left hand extended, sitting on top of Stede’s hands. Behind the truck, the sun is setting and stars are coming out.

"Why do you waste your time on fanart?"

Because it got me back into drawing again and kept me active these last 2 years and I probably wouldn't have been able to whip out this sketch in 5 minutes at figure drawing last night if I hadn't spent the whole day prior making Ed and Stede sloppy kiss. So.
Five minute pencil sketch of a young afab person with long braided hair hunched over and leaning on their right hand, looking pensively off to the side. It's a quick sketch, but the gesture of the pose is solid and has a weight to it.
