Revisited this pirate drawing so I could get a second go at the colors, and I think it turned out way better!

This was what tipped me over to get Bluesky… it’s such a huge file it was super crunched on Instagram. It’s only marginally less crunched here though, haha
A colored illustration of four pirates: the Captain, Quartermaster, Pilot, and Navigator. The Captain is clad in blue with gold trim around their hat and coat. There’s a golden feather in their hat and a rapier at their side. The Quartermaster is wearing a dark blue coat and wide-brimmed brown hat with a white and brown feather. He carries a cavalry saber at his hip. The pilot is manning the ship’s wheel. He wears a brown hat and red coat, with a blunderbuss slung across his torso. The Navigator is wearing a dark teal coat and carries a pale gold sextant. A colored illustrations of four pirates: the Lookout, Master-At-Arms, Master Boatswain, and Barber-Surgeon. The Lookout is resting her cutlass on her shoulder. She wears a purple vest and a magenta sash around her waist. The Master-At-Arms wears a brown, wide-brimmed hat with a yellow feather. He rests a cavalry saber on his shoulder. He has two pistols on a belt across his chest and a third in his hand. He wears a blue coat and a golden crescent moon-shaped pendant. The Master Boatswain is wearing a tawny vest, forearm bracers, and an axe around his waist. The Barber-Surgeon carries a pair of scissors and is wearing a deep red coat, black vest, and white ascot. There is a white cat sitting on the shoulders of the last pirate.

Wild West AU at sunset! I really pulled through with all of these goddamn hats…. I hate drawing them, but Jax and Teo didn’t get hats the first time and I had to do them justice this time ‘round 😔
Three characters in Wild West attire in sunset lighting against a dark red background. Two of them wear marshall/deputy marshall badges. The third wears a six-pointed sheriff’s badge. Each carry a firearm of some kind. Three characters in Wild West attire in sunset lighting against a dark red background. Each carry a firearm of some kind.

(Repost because the original was one big pic and that made it kinda fuzzy)

Here’s that lighting practice with the zombie apocalypse AU. I still love how carefree and experimental I was with it. The purple lighting is just so pretty

I love making AUs. This has the same six guys from the first two posts plus a couple more.

My OCs are simply my little dress-up dolls. I point to them and say, “Put that man in a situation, stat!” I’ll properly introduce them in another post some time.
A grayscale sketch depicting the deck of a pirate ship. In the background a giant sea goddess stares down the crew who are all on deck. Most of the crew looks on with shock, not knowing what to do. In the foreground is a crew member looking back at the captain whose back is to the viewer. His expression is not of surprise, but concern, as he and the captain seem to know something the rest of the crew don’t.

Two non-mages watching their introvert magician friend forced by social convention to perform cool magic for a crowd
A grayscale sketch depicting a 19th century-inspired ballroom setting. In the foreground, two men are standing behind a curtain in shadow. They peer behind it to the right where a crowd is watching their friend performing. The friend has their arms raised, holding a wand in their right hand. Above them are glowing particles of light, seemingly their doing.

Hello Bluesky! Hoping this platform will be a good place for sharing my art. Today I offer a sketch of my OCs having lunch together 🤲
