“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 :)

Progress gif of this:  “Would you still recognize me?”

The quality isn’t the best possible, but hopefully you get the idea how things evolved... It’s made from “the preview pics” that I saved in this painting’s draft/wip folder whenever I took a break or wanted to compare/remember something special - and also so that I’d know where I left things and wouldn’t have to open the actual psd file every time, lol. To make the gif size smaller and to have it flow better (and be less eye-hurting), I left some of the frames out.

I admit it, it’s quite fascinating to watch now after everything :D *pats myself on the back*

So that the post doesn’t become too long on the dash, I put some additional notes under the cut, mainly about the refs and wips if you want to take a look! Please, do not repost elsewhere :)

Would you still recognize me?

After the match with Singleton, Captain Flint takes a moment to clean up the blood and collect his thoughts. They end up drifting to Thomas and Miranda again – and the dreams they once had for Nassau...

At some point this reminded me of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s beautiful painting “The Laundress” (one of my favourite paintings ever), so I continued to took some inspiration from that... Please, do not repost elsewhere :)

Would you love a monsterman? Could you understand, Beauty of the beast? I would do it all for you, Would you do it all, do it all for me?

Captain Flint after the events of Maria Aleyne, back on the Walrus. The workname for this was “STAGE” because well, look at that proper stage for the legend... :)

PS. My working music was often the earlier version (2002) of the song “Would You Love A Monsterman” by Lordi and I found it weirdly fitting for Black Sails and some Flint feels. Please, do not repost elsewhere.

- When we arrive out there, I am to leave you behind? - Yes.

Another Miranda, Flint and Death illustration that I made a while ago. Originally this was supposed to be a merge of the season 3 finale’s battleground and Flint’s earlier dreamscape but then I decided to make it a bit simpler to avoid too much clutter. Please, do not repost elsewhere :)

How To Touch Your Dragon Captain When He’s Been Grumpy AF and Really Really Needs It and You Have Been Waiting For This Exact Moment For Weeks If Not Months Already, So - Come Here!

There, there. Nnnngh, Feels So Good, Doesn’t It...~

“Captain! We need more speed!”

The Walrus crew has a special move and it’s called “the black sails.” True story ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Flint takes full advantage of Silver's lack of sailing knowledge...

Please, do not repost elsewhere. Ref for the last panel is of course the scene in ep 3.09 where they are about to parallel park the ship. Billy is not on board then, but this comic “happens” on a different (and more merrier) occasion so... yep :D

JOURNEY INTO THE DARK

When I first met you, you were so Unformed. And then I spoke and bade you cast aside your shame, and Captain Flint was born into the world. The part of you that always existed yet never were you willing to allow into the light of day.

I was mistress to you when you needed love. I was wife to you when you needed understanding. But first and before all I was mother. I have known you like no other. So I love you like no other. I will guide you through it, but at its end is where you must leave me. At its end is where you will find the peace that eludes you, and at its end lies the answer you refuse to see.

- Miranda’s speech in James’ dream, Black Sails XXI (3.03).

There were a lot of things that inspired this drawing. Flint’s dreams in s3 and the sculptural thing in the show's opening sequence and the painting of Lemminkäinen's Mother (x) to name a few... Please, do not repost elsewhere :)

The doors of the Spanish Man O’War Fucking Warship (were pretty).

In the end I didn’t want to draw just the doors, even though I do find them really pretty and that was my initial idea. So, I added yet another pair of backs and silhouettes and made this and myself a bit sad. James and Miranda are about to leave the ship to see Peter Ashe... Please, do not repost elsewhere :)

“The shark date” in 3.03 gets more exciting when the second shark is a lot stronger than the first. Joji, DeGroot and Billy can’t decide which outcome (i.e. the losing or getting back their captain and quartermaster) would be the best option in the long run... but hey! Everyone is hungry and in dire need of an entertainment. Silver and Flint try their unintentional best to deliver both (and they succeed).  Please, do not repost elsewhere :)
