Here's stock photo studies while I was playing D&D tonight.

#omfd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is naked and jumping into water. Stede is in way and is going to get splatted by his hurdling naked boyfriend. Is he terrified? Is he a little turned on? Yes.

“There. Much better” Ed whispered softly as he rested his chin on Stede’s shoulder.

Boyfriend's pockets are the best pockets. Ed says so. Got to do an illustration for @watchtheflow.bsky.social's toasty sweet 'Bonfire Night'! 🧡

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're wearing modern warm clothing; coats and scarf and gloves. Ed is resting his chin on Stede's shoulder as he shoves his hands into Stede's coat pockets from behind. Stede is giggling, all crinkly eyes and dimples. The night is cold enough for their breath to show and they're lit from below from a nearby bonfire. They're as sticky toasty sweet as smores.

Here's a crop of a little toasty bonfire snuggle for #WipWednesday! 🧡

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're dressed in warm modern clothing, puffy coats and scarf. Ed has his chin hooked over Stede's shoulder. Stede is turned into Ed's cheek and smiling. They're both lit from below by a nearby bonfire.
