Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Jack Merridew but older and chief
This is STUNNING! Your art never fails to amaze me
<33
HEY!!!
I haven’t posted anything in freaking AGES and I’m sorry, SOO sorry I can’t even put it into words. But it’s still damn wedding season, I even have to work overtime (around 10 hours a day), and on Saturdays sometimes (that means 6 workdays a week and it’s hella tiring). But finally, I finished my part of the art trade with our dear precious @chasing-the-western-sun!!! So, this is a young adult Jack, with a popular Chevrolet Malibu from the 60s, and I tried to dress him in clothes to fit that era… kinda ^^” Hope you like it gurl, sorry I kept you waiting for so long, I hope it was worth it at least a little bit (I’m not good at drawing cars hehe) I also have a dress commission that I have to complete next week, and then I must start working on my Cruella 2021 cosplay because I want to participate in a craftmanship contest, but I really want to continue with planning the comic (which I didn’t drop at all, it’s just taking more time than usual… work can be a pain in the butt sometimes).
Finally did some art for my Octobermine story!! (I like the lighting difference in each photo…)
Aaand BAM here are the pirate boys!!! I already have a few ideas for this AU: Jack’s ship name is Beast from the Sea. He comes from an extremely wealthy merchant family, was taught sea navigation techniques, business, and swordsmanship, he basically had everything to be a successful captain once. Roger (nicknamed Jolly Roger) has a quite large skull and crossbones tattoo on his back. He, on the other hand, was an orphan living from day to day on the streets of the port town where Jack’s family had their ships anchored. He met Jack accidentally, became close friends, Jack has even tahught him everything he knew about sailing and proper sword fighting. One day, Jack has decided that he was fed up with his duties, and just wanted to have fun, so he and Roger basically stole one of Jack’s family company’s ships, and sailed out to the sea. From onwards, Jack was the Captain, and Roger was the Quartermaster. The ship’s crew became Jack’s pirate crew, which grew day by day, as they occupied more and more ships. Simon is the cook who was captured from a merchant ship and was left alive because he has promised to make the crew delicious meals every day, and Ralph was a captain of a Royal Navy ship which was compeletely destroyed by Jack and his mates.
Okay!! A completed 80s au look kinda thing.
The setup of characters was inspired by @chasing-the-western-sun and their roller rink au!!!!
Maybe one day I’ll dive really deep into this au but for now it’s just me fucking around with hideous fashion from the 80s. Right now theyre just teenagers vibing. The twins, robert, and bill are up next!!
In order from first picture to second:
Maurice -> Jack -> Roger Peter (Piggy) -> Ralph -> Simon
Soo I've started working on Jack's character design!! Here's a little sneak peek~
Ralph: “What if the ghosts are emotionally fragile? What then?”
Simon: “The best thing I’ve done today is get 12/12 on an ‘Is This A Rat Or A Mouse?’ quiz”
Roger: “Being against murder is so political, like, keep that to yourself.”
Jack: “To the group of people very loudly singing the Spongebob Squarepants theme, y’all need singing lessons bc that was dreadful.”
Eric: “It’s not a pyramid scheme, it’s just a business model shaped like an upside down funnel.”
Sam: “I feel so betrayed that Mr Kipling never existed, who else have they been lying to us about?”
Maurice: “Smoke less weed and go eat some beans. Preferably on Weetabix.”
Piggy: “Fine, no Bitcoin for you, then. I’ll start a new life on my own.”

I found this picture on Pinterest, I think it was a photo of Eton College students. And these guys are literally- Ralph, Jack and Maurice. Don’t even try to tell me otherwise. They rock this classy, sharp-dressed look~
Ok but like, NO ONE could pull off this look the way Tom Chapin did.
I said what I said.

Jack talking about piggy and Ralph: I ain’t never seen two pretty best friends always one of them gotta be ugly
