I'd love to be stabbed by Jim #ofmdfanart

A digital pencil portrait of Jim from Our Flag Means Death. They're pictured from the shoulders up, head turned, gazing softly at someone off screen. This is S2 Jim, so their hair looks really fucking badass, and they're wearing pauldrons made of thick rope

(Did a little editing to this older piece! Made it a little less cursed. ;))

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of Stede from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing the cursed red suit from season two. He's spinning so that the jacket tails are flapping. The cuffed sleeves are ruffled. He's smiling, smug like he knows he looks fabulous no matter what the crew thinks.

I did two for this! #OFMD

A night Scene. Stede kissing Ed. You can see Stede's face and the back of Ed's head. There is a coy, magical feeling. Both of them are sparkling. There is darkness and sea in the background.

Just a view of arms and hands. Stede is in a yellow coat with purple flowers on the pockets and is reaching out to hold Ed's hand. Ed is in a long purple waistcoat with gold accents. He has a emerald wedding ring and a gold thumb ring, lace under the cuffs. There is a sea and stars and a railing behind them decorated with a garland roses and fairy lights. Ed's nails are painted dark purple.

Here's mine! I was so proud of this that I turned it into a print to sell at conventions 🥹

(I also gave one to Rhys at his show in Nottingham 🥰)

Digital art of a frame from Our Flag Means Death season 2 episode 5. Stede is taking Ed's hand on his while Ed is holding his fishing line. Stede is wearing the shirt of the cursed suit, and Ed is wearing the infamous rice sack.

I like this set though. Really dynamic posing and of course I love how you do grey tones. That's always been a favorite of mine

I made a second attempt. The hair is too dark here, but the expression is arguably better and closer to life.

Inktober, day 12: Shredded

I chose a liberal interpretation of the prompt, going with an artist - Kevin Holmström from KAJ - shredding a guitar solo. Just put it in past tense, and it works!

Turned out a bit wonky as i find guitars hard to draw, but that's Inktober for you!

tmw when you're doing an art and it's going well and you know that it's going to be the case that when you look back at it it's going to look terrible.

Sharon //Tresdem @tresdem.bsky.social · 19h

When you realize nothing can be the same again. It's not wholly a tragedy, nor is it a triumph, but a shift in thinking. A letting go to go into the liminal space of-- that's done. What next?

(also, you know, Stede)
#OFMD

Stede looking off to the side, eyes glassy as if he's going to cry. Light is bouncing off him suggesting things are on fire.

Just finished this for lovely @butterscup95.bsky.social! It's a little teaser treat for a future chapter of Lucy's gorgeous fic My Tears Are Becoming a Sea! This is my first time drawing Stede's hobnobbing duds. I loved every second. 🧡

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of Stede from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing his blue and checkered suit from the Sir Godfrey Thornrose scenes in season one. Instead of his white wig, he's wearing small white flowers in his hair. He's holding another small bundle of them in one lifted hand while the other is on his hip. He looks good and is feeling sassy about it.

The podfic of Big Wheel Keep on Turnin' by @tightenupmate.bsky.social.

Stede has been stuck, stuck in his marriage, stuck in his job, his life. And now? He's stuck in his truck, a 5th wheel trailer behind him, staring down an overpass that sits far too low for him to continue down the highway.

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.

#ofmdfanart #ourflagmeansdeath

Five coloured sketches of the progression of Stede's outfits through the series.
First sketch: Stede walking around with the potted fern and a quill pen, wearing a light teal vest and breeches over a white shirt and stockings.
Second sketch: Stede kneeling in shock in front of the weapon that Chauncy used, his clothes from the privateer academy rumpled and dirty.
Third sketch: Stede in his celebrity pirate era, with a dark teal shirt that shows off his chest, brown leather pants and boots and a sword belt. He's winking off to his right, holding onto a rope with his left hand and his right is resting on the hilt of his sword.
Fourth sketch: Stede is back in his soft fabrics, in blue cotton pants, leather boots and a linen shirt that's wide open and sliding off his shoulders, showing bites and kisses left by Ed. In his hands he's holding onto the pink robe with a soft smile on his face.
Fifth sketch: Stede finds a middle ground in his wardrobe, mixing the softness of fine fabrics with the practicality of leather. He kept the loose shirt wide open over his chest, with shiny pearl and gold necklaces framing his neckline. He's kneeling with one leg on a stool, leather pants soft and stretching in his pose, and buttery gold leather boots adding a pop of colour to his outfit. His upper body is draped over the counter as he smiles coily at his companion (who's not in frame but is definitely Ed)

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)
