I thought they finally deserved to get that dance

Happy New Year everyone! It was a joy to spend 2023 with you all and I hope 2024 brings us so much more fun!

Say you'll see me again

Even if it's just in your wildest dreams

Inspired by a truly wild 80s romance novel cover that I just had to turn into Ed's most romantic daydream of Stede

[mossgroves]

Figure skating AU, featuring the prettiest goldfish on ice, Stede Bonnet! I think Stede would be all about the costumes and would spend so much time designing them and thinking about how they flow on the ice.

I've got plans for this...

In your heart, I see the start of every night and every day

In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away

Just as long as I'm here in your arms

I could be in no better place

Date night!

"The Pearl" inspired by Dulcinea del Toboso

Ed's really feeling himself after spending the morning making his boyfriend blush.

Inspired by a painting found at the V&A museum during MCM weekend.

Can we... take it slow?

[mossgroves]

I love you. I love you. Finally did a speedpaint of this kiss! About 75 mins for this one I think. I've really missed doing these, so there will definitely be more.

Little screencap speedpaint of Ed, playing with some colours and lighting

Hope for the Future I'll have free prints of this with me at NYCC and MCM, so come say hi!

Art for the final chapter of We Belong Awake!

You are cordially invited to attend the wedding of the quack quack boys. Let's give them the joyful sendoff they deserve!

[mossgroves]

There's never been a prettier princess in the history of piracy than Edward Teach, love of my life.

[mossgroves]

I don't have time to draw much because I literally have to get on a plane to go see Rhys Darby, but I did have time to squeeze in a speed paint. About 75 minutes on this one

Art for Chapter 40 of the fanfiction We Belong Awake

Almost heaven, West Virginia

Life is old there, older than the trees

Younger than the mountains

Blowing like a breeze

Art for Ch 31 of the fanfiction We Belong Awake!

Ed lets out a surprised little huff of laughter, brows drawing together as he strokes his thumbs over Stede’s cheeks again. With a sudden rush of feeling, he’s reminded of all the times they’ve found themselves like this in reverse, Ed held in Stede’s soft hands while he gently falls apart.
