another stede creature cuz they make for good warm-ups and i love them

#OFMD #OFMDfanart
rough digital sketch of stede bonnet. his arms and lower body are covered in feathers, and he has bird-like legs from the knee down. he has a white pattern on his face that looks like a bird mask, his eyes are pure white. his hands end in claws. he has a feathery tail with a curved blade at the end. in the top right corner is the prompt: "This particular STEDE looks very much like an angel. They have a thick, prehensile tail with a bladed tip, and they move with a bearing like that of a falcon. The pattern on their face is difficult to discern. Their home has always been somewhere comfortable."

yall know what a ribbon worm attack looks like? i just think that stede @ ed

#OFMD #OFMDfanart
digital drawing of ed and stede from the waist up. they are hugging. we only see eds back and stede clutching at him with half his face buried in eds shoulder. he looks desperate to keep ed there. his fingers extend and twist and branch out in a way that, frankly, no fingers should. these twisty bits are all also clutching at ed and winding through his hair.

"My husband just walked in and handed me a grilled cheese sandwich missing the top left corner. Every time he makes me toast or a sandwich he presents it to me with one bite taken out. He always says "I don't know what's wrong with the bread you bought. It's defective." I haven't had a full slice of toast or sandwich at home in almost 18 years. If there are infinite worlds, every version of me chooses defective bread in every one of them."

ive been having so much fun with this generator....

#OFMD #OFMDfanart
prompt from the generator: "this particular stede is impossible to miss. their fingers can exert a surprising amount of force, their ears end in gentle points, and their mouth seems to be full of light. their physiology is most suited to life on the coast." digital sketch of stede bonnet following the previous prompt. his mouth is aglow, lighting up his face from the inside.

this page of izzy hands' diary was actually recovered....
izzys opening monologue from s1e6. it is written in early modern english so as to be period-accurate. there is a crossed out heart with "ET + IH" written in it. at the bottom are two stick drawings: one is of izzy stabbing stede (who is crying and bleeding out). an arrow pointing at izzy says "me (real pirate)" and another at stede saying "stupid twat". the second drawing is of ed with his arm on izzys shoulder, stede dead behind them. an arrow pointing at ed and iz says "partners in crime". it is important to note that izzy draws himself taller than stede and only slightly shorter than ed.

OR literally any story where stede has a physical disability. idc abt the setting or era or anything else. im just always thinking abt him
digital series of three doodles. in all of them, stede is wearing his fancy outfit from his excursion to st. augustine. 1: stede is sitting in a chair, arms braced on the armrests, getting ready to stand up. "and the captain of this vessel says--" 2: stede is standing in front of the chair, hands at his sides in his little autism fists. "on your feet! we're having a dayyyy..." 3: stede, still in front of the chair, is now hunched over. he has one arm braced on an armrest, the other limp at his side. he is staring into the distance, clearly not mentally in the room. "...yyyy"

i mean....

i couldnt just pick one... my chicago boys or my vampire/ghost boys..
digital illustration of ed, stede, and izzy recreating the iconic "Chicago" movie poster. they are standing in front of a huge, neon red 'C' and a small skyline of chicago. under them is the text "CHICAGO" with a smaller neon 'c' replacing the second one. ed is in the middle, flanked by the others. he is smirking at the "camera" and wearing a black suit and tie with a crisp, white button-up. his hair is up in a bun with, of course, slut strands out. stede is on the right, facing away from the camera, but head turned towards it, smirking. his left hand is on his hip, right hand behind his back holding a revolver with a white handle. he is wearing a sparkly black dress, fishnets, and mesh arm warmer things. izzy is on the right, mirroring stedes pose except his hand is resting at his side rather than on his hip. he is scowling at the camera despite the massive amount of cunt he is serving. he wears a sparkly white dress and fishnets. grayscale digital illustration of ed and stede. stede is on the right in the middle of an ornate mirror. the mirrors frame has a lighthouse and kraken motif. stede is curled up and looking off to the side, clearly upset. he is wearing his ribbon shoes, stockings, trousers, and a frilly white shirt. he has a skewer stabbed into his earhole, which is dripping blood onto the shoulder of his otherwise pristine shirt. ed is on the left, surrounded by smoke that coming off his body. he is wearing is leather jacket with the right sleeve missing, cropped shirt, dark jeans, and leather boots. his hair is in a bun, tied with a scrunchie, slut strands out.

ssssso.... anyway! look at my boys!

edward teach, a vampire x stede bonnet, a spirit trapped in mirrors/windows/reflections (haha get it cuz ed cant see his refl- cuz cuz- yknow cuz its like-)

#OFMD #OFMDfanart
digital illustration in grayscale. ed and stede are next to each, stede on the right, ed on the left, but they are each a separate concept-slash-design drawing, not actually next to each other or interacting. an ornate mirror, framed with a lighthouse and tentacle design, is on the right. stede is curled up in the middle of it, looking forlornly off to the side (our right, his left). he has a skewer in his earhole, and blood has dripped from it onto the shoulder of his billowy white shirt. he is wearing what he does in s1: white shirt, trousers, stockings, ribbon-slash-bow shoes. ed is surrounded by smoke that is seemingly coming from his body. he is looking moodily off to the side (our left, his right). he wears his s1 outfit (leather jacket open, cropped shirt) but he wears jeans instead of leather pants. he has a hand in his pants pocket and the other rests at his side. his hair is up in a messy bun, tied with a scrunchie, slut strands out.

reminded me of this stupid thing i made forever ago that has been sitting in my files titled "stede bonnet but he has pots as god intended"
digital doodle comic (but not really?? its just a series of drawings) of the scene in s1e7. stede stands up from his chair saying "and the captain of this vessel says on your feet! we're having a dayyyyyyy..." trailing off at the end as he braces himself on the chair, staring off into the distance as he gets so dizzy that he sees god

digital redraw of the iconic Chicago movie poster. ed is billy flynn, standing in the middle in a suit. his hair is in a bun with his slut strands out. he is smiling while looking at the camera. stede is roxie hart, standing on the right with his hand on his hip, back facing the camera, looking over his shoulder. his other hand is holding a gun behind his back. hes wearing a short, sparkly black dress, fishnet leggings, mesh sleeves. he is smirking... menacingly... izzy is standing on the left, in the same pose as stede except his arm is resting at his side rather than on his hip. he is wearing a sparkly, white dress and fishnet leggings. he is scowling as though he is upset to be serving cunt. behind them is a big, neon "C" and the chicago skyline. under them is "CHICAGO" written in red with the same neon 'C'
