So, back to headcanon, I sincerely believe in: Hawkins’s ship isn’t just any pirate vessel; it’s practically a museum filled with cursed objects and artifacts with a creepy reputation.

●●●

On Basil’s ship, the crew isn’t just responsible for their usual duties - they also have to keep the haunted and cursed collection in check. These eerie artifacts, carefully curated by Basil and bought at various auctions, are not just stored away but are seamlessly integrated into the ship’s decor, adding to its uniquely sinister atmosphere.

Even cursed collections need care, so every once in a while, the crew undertakes a general cleaning. Not everyone is thrilled about this, but there’s a schedule, and it’s non-negotiable. And slacking off isn’t an option - if you do, you might find yourself haunted by some supernatural being from the mirror you forgot to polish.

For Bella, one of the ship’s medics, this task is more of a pleasure than a chore. She genuinely enjoys the cleaning, but not because she loves tidying up. It's because she gets to gossip and spill all the latest news to the ghosts and other paranormal beings aboard.

That’s why the crew isn't too keen on letting one of their medics handle the cleaning - because once Bella's in there, she’s likely to spend the whole day chatting away with her spectral audience.

Yes, this doll turned out to be cursed after all.

Bella: Captain, it seems like our experimental potion isn’t quite working right on Faust.

Basil: What do you mean?

Basil: So…when exactly will he get back to normal?

Bella: Oh, in about…fifteen minutes…hours…maybe a few days?

Basil: /sighs wearily/

Bella and Donna (original characters) are ship’s doctors and herbalists in Hawkins’s crew. Some kind of "witchy duo." They specialize in potions, brews, and other curative concoctions.

So sometimes the results of their experiments with new concoctions can be a bit unpredictable - not overly so, but still enough to keep things interesting.

You've been visited by Christmas Basil Hawkins with gingerbread cookies.

Hawkins: 'Your path is as clear as the calm sea. Keep going; your success is already written in the stars. The probability of your happiness this holiday season is 99%.'

Traditionally (a tradition that started last December), I’m finishing the year with Hawkins. Because this character is gorgeous enough for such an important role 💅💕

And I must say, I absolutely love this year artworks 😭

Wishing you a Happy New Year, whether it’s already arrived or is about to!

Like a proud mom, I want to show how my Marie and Jack have grown - from the first sketches to first more serious works and to what they’ve become now. 🤧

•° 💫 °•

The first sketch of Marie appeared back in November 2023. At first, I imagined her simply as a mysterious artist, but later this turned into the story of an unfortunate girl abandoned by her own relatives on a deserted island because they believed she was a witch. On her home island, people have only a shallow understanding of Devil Fruits, which fueled their fear.

She was a princess from the late Middle Ages — since that’s the +/- same time period where her native kingdom exists 🤷‍♀️

•° 💫 °•

At first, Jack was purple. His abilities changed multiple times, but one thing always stayed the same: he was always a wanderer, helping others and existing in a permanent state of calm, almost meditative serenity. Oh, and some features like his hairstyle, glasses, and the four-leaf clover in his hair remained consistent in every version.

•° 💫 °•

And one more thing. I’m much better at drawing Basil’s nose now...😭

I adore Hawkins, without a doubt. But that nose was my struggle

🧛‍♀
