I love the case file idea! There are so many cool things you could do with it. It makes me wish I was a writer, lol.
Yeap, same xD It's so fun to have all these headcannons and lots of additional ideas intervowen everywhere but I don't actually want to spend time writing them into anything coherent myself lol.
the COLOR. the DIMENSION. the EXPRESSION. On your latest is just.. aghhhhhg, I love.
Teehehehe, thanks :D At one point I was planning on making it look like an vintage postcard or a photograph with more worn out wrinkles (like it had been folded in half and been kept in a pocket but now there's only that one diagonal wrinkle for aesthetics left lol) and even coffee cup stains or a paperclip in one corner and considered adding some text like it had been made with a label maker or something etc. but alas! it was getting too crowded and the final version works a lot better on it own xD
that newest lighthouse flint art<3
I'm very proud of it and so pleased and happy that other people have enjoyed it too :3 Thank you! <3
(I just wanted to add a pretty gif to fit the theme here and this came up in the search, so... hehe :D)
Just want to say your art make me so happy!
Thank you, that's so nice to hear! <3
“Oh, I remember you.”
Still thinking about that Vanity Fair photoshoot and all the possible Black Sails lighthouse AUs where Flint is the lighthouse keeper... and gets a visitor(s). But who? dundunduuu... Not sure if this would be a reincarnation au or immortal beings au or ghosts or just a regular modern(ish) au, so feel free to have your own interpretations!
The face ref for this was Lieutenant McGraw when he returns to London in season 2 but I wanted to see Flint with his waxed s1 mustache and the more modern hair and coat (although the decade is not set in stone)... Please, do not repost elsewhere :)
Some wip pics for that old art where The Ranger’s crew buys the Nassau brothel and Vane and Anne take a nap while Jack looks at them fondly :)
It took me a long time to figure out what I really wanted with this idea and how to make it work. The finished art started to make rounds again and it reminded me that I had a wip process somewhere in my drafts and it might be interesting to see (and I think I haven’t shared it yet? I could be wrong but thought that I might as well do it now lol)...
Anyway, the first sketches were made around July 2017 and I let it be alone for months after that. Occasionally I would continue or re-draw whole parts of this but always got stuck with something or lost interest. I finally finished it around spring/summer 2019 with new enthusiasm as I had learned things through my other works and still loved this idea and wanted to see it completed. I still like some of the earlier wips (and even maybe prefer some compositions more) although some parts are quite clumsy.

Anne Bonny (Clara Paget) saving her crew in Black Sails (XXXII).
I have only been able to watch that badass scene like, twice (it’s the hands, I can’t look at her picking up those glass shards and squeezing *shudders*).
Working music was mainly “Eden” by Battle Beast and I like to imagine that if Anne was singing in a metal band her voice would sound something like that... Please, do not repost elsewhere :)
Random portrait of John Silver, acrylics 18x24 cm
Recently I bought some acrylic paints and canvases to brush up (heh) my traditional painting skills since I have been drawing mostly digital art for the last couple of years. I want to have some big paintings on my wall at some point in the future so I decided to practise with small ones first.
And well, I enjoy drawing Silver, so what better subject to start with :D Although this ended up looking like some sort of Jesus painting which is a bit disturbing... and I'm not sure if I should still define some parts or not (like the hair or his jacket) but I'm afraid of ruining it so I'll probably just add some varnish to finish this (and practise spreading that stuff)... Anyway, so I decided to share this one now then. Please, do not repost elsewhere :)
omg silverflint madi! i love your art with them so much they’re such an underrated ship in the fandom.
I LOVE THEM and wish we had had more time with them together on the show too, like some levity and them having fun for a change xD (so I'm filling in the gaps hehehehehe). Thanks <3
Your art is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you <3 (◕◡◕✿)
‘Cause every time we touch I feel the static ~
Silver has trouble collecting his thoughts and stroking his own beard isn’t quite enough stimulation to help... but Flint has such a nice beard, wouldn’t you want to touch it and learn something about proper grooming habits dear ~ So Madi is amused af when her suggestion actually works and Flint will be running high on endorphins until the first mirror lol. And Silver did get his thoughts sorted out — now he knows what to order for tomorrow’s barbecue!
I found the sketches again and finally finished these ^^; Static electricity probably doesn’t work quite like that but anyway xD Also if (historical) Blackbeard can have fire and smoke beard then Flint can have electric love uh I mean fearsome lightning beard. Please, do not repost elsewhere :)
i adore your art!! x
Thank you!! <3 I have found so much joy (and angst hehehe) by drawing these :D I still have a lot more to come but it might take a while and the updates are a bit random x)
hi! i was wondering if you'd be willing to make the "hungry" design on your redbubble into a print? it's not an option right now but i'd love to buy it and hang it on my wall!
Hello! And sure, I have now added the print option of it on redbubble and if you don't mind, I made some small fixes here and there that had been bothering me (but I can take the fixes off, if it's important to have them there, like some of the biggest paper wrinkles or wobbly lines, haha).
The original drawing is/was about size A5 and on poor paper and it got quite a rough treatment when I was painting it so I wasn't sure about the quality as a print at the time (so that's why it hadn't been an option there before...). So now I made some adjustments and sharpening in addition to those small fixes (but not too many alterations) so hopefully it works as a print now too, but let me know if there's still something I should do! Thank you for this ask and thanks for the patience! :) <3
Here's the new version for quick viewing, too:
(and if for some reason this is not the painting you meant, let me know xD)
Excuse me your art is amazing??? I, honestly, am speechless
Oh gosh, thank you much! <3 Making them brings me a lot of joy and hearing other people enjoying the results too makes me really happy :D
Hey that Ned Low study is really cool. It makes him look like pure evil which is why I love him as a villain. All the red perfectly contrasts his very sharp blue eye. Thinking about making it my wallpaper
Thank you! To me, he was probably the scariest and most (purely) evil person in the show. I wanted to catch that threatening aura and painting that art was quite fun and cathartic, too! Yes, you can have it as a wallpaper for as long as you want, I'm glad you like it :D
“Ardently”
Silver and Madi (from Black Sails) at the beach on the Maroon Island or somewhere around Nassau, getting to know each other :)
Another gazing-at-your-loved-one(s) art... oops, but so what! I love that xD Alternative title was “I think I’m falling in love with you” (thought by both).

A study of Edward “Ned” Low (Tadhg Murphy) from Black Sails
I was going through my wip folders and realized that hey, this is actually quite finished... so, after some reworking, here you go! Please, do not repost elsewhere :)
