Passive Aggression
Stede's face haha. I hate drawing his face; in the WIP below he looks like a demonic clown of nightmares, but my phone still picks up all three faces, which is pretty cool!
I think it's also the first time I've drawn three people in a single copy (I've done my own scribbles with more characters); it's funny seeing this redrawn by others as just Stede and Ed but I think Abshir also deserves to be in the shot.
Also, did I mention just how much clothing aristocrats wear? Stede's costume here was insane in an amazing way, which I never noticed till I had to draw it.
Butterfly Master Preaura
The reason I found out about Our Flag Means Death is because one of the artists I follow started drawing lots of fanart and then also said it helped with her art block. Turns out it's true! After sketching so much I managed to finally churn out this "official" Preaura costume!
Ever since her inception I wanted a kimono on her, but never really got the hang of drawing anything that looked remotely fitting. Even after I bought myself two kimonos, I still couldn't get it right (though I did get close with the cloud kimono I gave her in Deadly Patience).
Turns out Ed/Stede's pink gown is extremely inspirational, and I reckon it helped get this design going. I'm so happy with it!
Compare this to the very original version I drew of her. It's amazing that I kept everything the same pretty much!
