A while ago I shared some OCs I had simmering in my brain juices after watching OFMD and Pirates of Darkwater again, and... I finally found some names and began writing a bit on their story. It's a work in progress, but I'm having fun world building with them so far ^^

Read on below for some colorful blorbo drabble c:

Randa is a young Sun elf living on a remote island paradise, but despite his idyllic homeland, he keeps gazing out at the ocean, wishing for more. Engrossing himself in tales of daring adventure, exciting seafaring and treasure hunting, his dreams of a life beyond his island rests on the wings of the gulls that fly out to sea. Across the very same ocean, sails a charming and mischievous pirate captain by the name of Baltan. Making friends and foes alike, he and his crew travel far and wide in search of treasure and adventure. Their freedom is highly cherished, and while Baltan feels like he should be satisfied with his lot in life... something still feels like it's missing.

As fate will have it, the two men will cross paths for better or for worse. Will Randa find the freedom he desperately craves, and will Baltan finally discover the treasure he's always been missing? Idk, I guess we'll find out eventually -_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t often share my character development art online, but these two have taken me for such a weird ride... yes, all of these sketches/concept artworks are of the same two characters 💀 You can read more under the cut if you want

Earlier this week I wrote a post for my Ko-Fi supporters about how I create when I have little to no desire to do so, and how I workshopped these two fine fellows. I’ve yet to name them or figure out much of their stories, but I’m working on it. All I know for sure is that they will be pirate boyfriends <:

“Sunny” and “Shark Cat” has been living rent free in my mind since summer last year, and they’ve changed quite a bit since their conception as you can see!

I was originally inspired to create my own characters based on Stede and Blackbeard from Our Flag Means Death, but I didn’t really jive with the elf designs. After re-watching my favorite childhood cartoon Pirates of Dark Water again, something finally clicked into place and I came up with a more alien design for them. The first image is their most current designs and a little sneak peek on two wallpapers I’m drawing of them.

It’s strange to see how much OCs can change over time when you’re not entirely sure of who or what they’ll be, but it’s always fun to see their journey and how they gain a life of their own c:
