#tales from the crackverse

[nightfury-2001]

Haven't posted in a little while so here's another update on one of my current non-AF WIPs - Vurjo's* ref!

Coming up with a full design for him that I'm truly happy with, and actually being able to draw that design, has been SUCH a huge struggle but I feel like I'm finally getting there!!! Like for real this time lol.

ibisPaint X says I've spent over 26 hours total with this damn file open and there's no telling how many more hours I'll have to spend on it before I'm satisfied - I still have soooo many things I need to add/redraw/tweak/etc. but I refuse to give up! Especially since like I said I really do feel like I'm finally getting somewhere.

But anyway damn I have no idea how to draw feathered wings.....wanted to make a sort of hybrid wing shape between a peregrine falcon and a common swift so I just went fuck it and traced images of the two species's wings and went from there lol. Not sure if I'm 100% happy with the it currently but it's a start at least.

Drawing their face from the front was also very difficult, took me hours even with multiple guides but at least I did eventually succeed. Leg(s) from the side has also been a struggle and idk what I'm going to do for the front view since the specific guide I'm using doesn't really have that but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

(*Also I've kinda mentioned this before, but due to various things I'm tempted to change his name to Apex or something lol)

THERE HE IS

Some artfight attacks of @nightfury-2001 ‘s and @/_.selcicat_art._’s (on instagram) characters :]

[killmebutneverinsultme]

Verses

(General)

v: the price of freedom - threads set during Jack’s merchant days working for the Company

v: pre-cotbp - generic verse tag for threads set between TPOF and COTBP

v: curse of the black pearl - generic verse tag for threads set during or just after the COTBP timeline

v: dead man’s chest -  generic verse tag for threads set during or just after the DMC timeline

v: at world’s end -  generic verse tag for threads set during or just after the AWE timeline

v: on stranger tides -  generic verse tag for threads set during or just after the OST timeline

v: dead men tell no tales -  generic verse tag for threads set during or just after the DMTNT timeline

v: beyond the horizon - generic verse tag for threads set anytime after DMTNT where Jack has regained youth and achieved some form of immortality where his legend continues

(AU/Specific)

v: beckett vs swann - closed crackverse shared by a few players where Jack’s involvement is mediating between and taking advantage of a feud between Beckett and the Swanns, with a dollop of Speckington

v: captain of the dutchman - Jack was too late to save Will, at least that way. When Jack stabbed Jones’s heart, it was he instead who became the new captain of the Flying Dutchman

v: dadbossa - AU where Jack finds out about Carina and interacts with her far earlier than DMTNT

v: dutchman captain norrington - primarily with norringtxn but any AU where James Norrington became captain of the Flying Dutchman

v: immortal captain jack sparrow - after achieving immortality, Jack survives through to the modern era. He becomes a tourist attraction known globally, commissioned to mostly play-act being his original self. On the proviso he targets the occasional cruise ship for stunt takeovers, he can live his celebrity life as he wishes, with Gibbs as his equally immortal manager. His immortal state is largely kept under the rug but now and then secret services try to kidnap him. This verse can also apply to him in earlier time periods

v: jack to the future - threads whereby Jack has somehow arrived in the future and has to cope with all that involves

v: shadow jack - threads where either the dark side of Jack took over when he was brought back from the Locker or Jack was not the one brought back, whether it be a Locker demon in his form or a manifestation made flesh. Very dark threads possible

v: sparrow and albatross - verse with norringtxn. Sparrington. James survives the events of AWE and becomes a privateer and later full pirate, embarking on a partnership and romance with Jack.

(Crossovers)

v: black sails - threads set in, you’ve guessed it, Black Sails. Around this era, Jack has just established himself with the Black Pearl and has become or is about to become Pirate Lord of the Caribbean, whatever the other pirates make of this

v: enchanted forest - threads set in Once Upon A Time where Jack finds his way into the realm. Whether Jack is familiar with the place varies from thread to thread

v: pirates of the commonwealth - threads set in Fallout 4 where Jack has somehow arrived here

v: storybrooke - threads set in Once Upon A Time either where Jack has been caught up in Regina’s curse or has found his way through to Storybrooke. In his cursed form, he is known as Jack Bird, a hoboish nuisance, beloved and hated. Sometimes sleeps in a cave by the sea, sometimes squats in unused homes or kips in a black car he keeps fighting over with Mr Applepalm (Barbossa)

v: toss a coin to your captain - threads set in the Witcher verse, whether Jack finds his way here or an AU where he was born in this world

v: westworld - Jack is a host in Pirates of the Caribbean World. With his greatest goal always being freedom, he inevitably breaks his programming, and shenanigans ensue

changed his markings a little for the millionth time..........still needs work buuuuuuut think i'm getting somewhere maybe

also working on designing a new hedgehog-bird guy (damn i really need to come up with an actual serious species name for these dudes)

[nightfury-2001]

More art and lore/ideas for my cringe fantasy universe 💚 (I promise I'm working on more dragons stuff but I'd really like to start branching out more and drawing other things more often!)

Trying to figure out how to draw humans so that I can actually make a design for Arnar that isn't just a vague concept....not sure if anyone even really remembers him LOL but that's okay since I've changed things anyway. The biggest change is that I've decided to give him the ability to use a form of magic. Specifically I imagine his magical alignment/abilities allow him to properly work with ingredients/things that have magical properties to make unique and powerful concoctions and special equipment/items/etc.. Basically a magical crafter sort of thing. I also kinda like the idea of him having some sort of magical trait/ability that allows him to more easily befriend and/or communicate easier with the more magical creatures of the world but idk.

Anyway I imagine he still ends up living in the woods and befriending the creature™ and all that but this post is already getting a little long soooo...!

Worked a bit more on Apex's design too, instead of going with the peregrine falcon inspired markings I'll probably just make his wings dark with subtle lighter markings because honestly I think it looks better + it has those NFury vibes lol.

Also kind of a relatively big change but....! What if bigender AFAB he/she Apex....? Could tie into how I imagine her species is generally pretty accepting of nonbinary genders and how many hedgehog-bird-people societies might have many different gender roles. Like idk, I want to have a diverse cast of characters in my universe and while they may be such a silly meme idea I'm attached to my hedgehog-bird-critter-people and want to make them actually interesting and not just *insert irl culture here* with one minor change or just fluffy humans with an animal behavior/trait or two slapped on lmao

[nightfury-2001]

I am attempting to design a (fur)sona......maybe......perhaps.......

[nightfury-2001]

Okay but what if bird/fully feathered wings hmmmmmm

[nightfury-2001]

another wip of vurjo since im trying to make a ref for him but anyway -

JUST FOUND OUT SHADOW APPARENTLY HAS SOME SORT OF WINGS NOW???? UNSURE HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THAT. ON ONE HAND: EXTREMELY COOL MY INNER 10 YEAR OLD IS SCREAMING IN EXCITEMENT. ON THE OTHER HAND MY PRECIOUS RIP-OFF OC NOW SEEMS LIKE EVEN MORE OF A RIP-OFF. LIKE R.I.P CAN'T BELIEVE SEGA IS RIPPING ME OFF /S

[nightfury-2001]

My Shadow rip-off OC,,, he is soooooo cringe but I love him so much 💚💚 Trying to come up with a "final" design for him and make a ref for him before this year's ArtFight starts lol

[nightfury-2001]

very unfinished thing of my cringe guy

driving myself insane trying to make a fullbody design for him that i don't hate lol

[nightfury-2001]

I think about her a lot but rarely try to draw her (partly bc certain aspects of her design aren't exactly final but still)

[nightfury-2001]

hmmm....

[nightfury-2001]

Also Vurjo WIP update 100000 - finally said fuck it to a longer more dragonlike tail - give him a peacock-esque tail feather thing with a tiny actual tail lol

[nightfury-2001]

haven't drawn her in forever lol

[nightfury-2001]

ALSO I should definitely post more stuff about the Crackverse bc I love my cringy but fun personal universe. 💚

Anywaaaay so I decided a couple months ago that I no longer want to include species and stuff from things I like in the Crackverse.

Basically: Literal NFs? No. Original species that's inspired by NFs? Yes.

It's not because I plan on having the Crackverse be an actual ~thing~ (some designs and concepts are definitely going to be a little too close to whatever I'm ripping off for me to do that even if I wanted to among other things lmao), it's more because I want it to be more....creative, and actually mine.

So yeah time to make an original seal inspired dragon species that also rips off Furies!!!!!!!
