Kind Of Artblocked, Does Anyone Have Any Sketch Suggestions?

Kind of artblocked, does anyone have any sketch suggestions?

Absolutely no idea why this idea suddenly struck me, but...

Stan dies shortly after being kicked out. Not sure how exactly, but I mean, he's a homeless teenager in the seventies. Ford takes the loss extremely bad, and can't cope with the guilt of not having stood up to their father.

One of two scenarios follows: Stan refuses to leave Ford like that and clings onto existence through sheer stubborn determination, or—unable to let go and accept the loss—Ford uses his knowledge of the supernatural and arcane to bind Stan's spirit to himself.

Either way, the end result is the same. Ford tries to continue living as if everything is fine and nothing has changed while Stan lives on as his new shadow.

Captain, first mate, second mate.

Wanted to challenge myself to make some more dynamic poses to revisit these designs. I was still happy with Pyronica and Bill, but let's face it; Kryptos needed a complete overhaul. Is this better? 🤔

Hi! I'm kinda new to your page and your art is amazing! But I didn't really understand what exactly the pirate au is. If it won't be a problem, can you summarize it briefly? Thank you so much.

There's a fic I'm working on here, but it's far from finished. The 'short' version though is that...

Stan and Ford were born sometime in the 1650's (rather than 1950's). They have their falling out with Stan being sent away. Stan ends up working crappy jobs on several different ships (some legitimate and some not) while Ford goes off to join a research expedition.

Ford's ship is attacked by pirates lead by Bill (check out the comic here), which culminates in Ford being kidnapped and supposedly murdered. When the news eventually make their way back to Stan, he steals a ship and declares himself captain with the goal of tracking Bill down and getting revenge. Gravity Falls was attacked by Bill sometime after Ford's disappearance, and there are plenty of people there willing to join Stan's cause.

Mabel and Dipper join the story around thirty years later in 1712. They've lost their family and end up stowing away on a merchant ship where they too are attacked by Bill's crew. Dipper is left behind on an abandoned island where he's found by Stan whom he convinces to save Mabel. They don't realise they're family. Mabel warms up to the crew quickly but Dipper is far more suspicious.

That's about as far as we've gotten yet. I've got the rest of the story all planned out, now I just have to get around to writing it...

Happy birthday @stephreynaart! I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to attach an image to a ask, so I'll just do this instead! I love your art, especially the cute family fluff! Jacob is pretty much Soos' canonical kid in my eyes ^^

(Also, the animations, your animation stuff is seriously impressive)

Angsty expressions all the way
