I just remembered this old Ed drawing I made in 2024. I think it was in response to one of those "Ed in this outfit" posts from when I used to use Tumblr. #art #ourflagmeansdeath #ofmd #ofmdfanart #oldart #edteach

stylised, semi-realistic Digital drawing of Ed Teach from Our Flag Means Death wearing a cropped sleeveless mesh top with ringed straps. He's in a standing seductive pose with one arm behind his head and one leg slightly raised. He's in black and white against a pink background with a few red heart shapes.

For WIP Wednesday, an unfortunate stage from a since completed project. May Ed forgive me for sharing his shame with the world!

A polymer clay figure of Ed Teach (with some bits of Stede showing). The top of his head is bald, making him look like he decided to take hair tips from Buttons.

A digital marker drawing of Ed and Stede from our flag means Death, in ballet clothing. Ed is wearing lavendar tights and purple flats, with a purple ballet wrap sweater. He's holding Stede in a high lift. Stede has one leg extended straight, his arms outstretched. He is wearing a white sheer romantic tutu with pink pointe shoes

He's just a baby, your honor

A digital drawing of Ed from ofmd, during his kraken era. He's wearing his usual leathers except his tummy is exposed and he's got his g-string showing. His eye makeup is more exaggerated and his eyes look wet. There are hears and stars and skills doodled around him. He also has a belly button piercing and a septum piercing.

Fanart of Edward Teach and Stede Bonnet on a museum date together. They're standing next to each other with their heads touching and backs to us. Ed is on the left and Stede is on the right. Ed has his hands clasped behind his back holding a gallery program, wearing a dark teal sweater with tentacles running along in a bright teal color. Paired with it is some black pants, a chain wallet and pearl earrings and a bracelet. Stede is wearing a colored galaxy shirt with bright teal pants, leaning his body into Ed's. Bright blue hearts surround their heads. They're both staring at some paintings in the background. It's a very sweet moment.

I LOVE MY MERMAIDS SM 😭🧡💜🧡💜✨️✨️✨️

Fanart of Mermaid Ed in shibari suspended from the ceiling. His arms are crossed and bound to his chest while he is leaning back. His purple tail is shimmering in the light and his pink fins are hanging loosely towards the ground. His eyes are closed, with a blush on his cheeks and a blissed out look on his face.

Fanart of Mermaid Stede in shibari suspended from the ceiling. His is bent into a U shape, with his arms bound to his chest and his tail bound and tied to a couple of cannon balls hanging in the middle. His tail is a vibrant orange color with light purple fins that loosely hang in the air. His eyes are closed, a blush high on his cheeks and a blissed put look on his face.

A cross stitch showing 2 Mermaid tails circling each other, the top one purple with light pink fins and the bottom orange with dark pink fins. The background is a bright blue.

Stede and Ed as mermen sitting on a large rock just above the sea. Stede's tail is orange and Ed's is apale shade of lilac and blue, and they have tattoos. The sky and the ocean are light blue and there are pink clouds on the horizon. They are staring lovingly into each other's eyes.

Babies 🥺 I made a page with a bunch of different Kiri art and we’ve figured out places to fit it as we go. This chapter was a good spot for this first glimpse of younger Ed and his tiny jaguar cub 👀 They’ve really been through it all together, across time and also in this incredible chapter 😭

A younger Ed with black hair and a black beard holds a tiny black jaguar cub. Both have their eyes closed, looking content. There’s golden fabric beneath and above the photo.

sometimes, only a sketch will do

Digital pencil sketch of Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach sitting at the outdoor food shack from season 2 episode 7 of Our Flag Means Death. Ed has just said pirates don’t pay and is resting his chin on his hands looking dreamily at Stede, who is leaning forward with his hands planted on the small table holding his coconut drink. He’s looking excitedly up at Ed in the midst of saying the line “We didn’t pay!” As they are about to dine and dash.

2026 redraw of merStede and Ed's first meeting from the fic flippin your fins (you don't get too far) by ghostalservice. Sea blue toned sketch of merStede gently taking Ed's outstretched hand in a tentative greeting. They are both smiling at each other like lovestruck idiots.

Digital sketch of “Wicker” Stede and “Fisherman” Ed. Redraw based on a promo still of the moonlit fish kiss scene from season 2 of hit television show Our Flag Means Death.

Rough digital sketch of Ed and Stede dressed up to the nines, perhaps at the French boat party?? Ed has his season 1 long beard and his hair done in an updo. Stede is bowing to Ed as he extends his right hand, asking to dance. Ed genteelly places his right hand in Stede’s, accepting the offer. They are both making hopeless Eyes at each other.

One of the first gentlebeard drawings I was proud of :)

Digital art of Ed and merstede underwater, surrounded by little bubbles. They’re facing each other and holding hands. Ed is wearing a black tshirt and his leather trousers with his pearl necklace floating around his neck. Stede has an orange glittery mermaid tail.

I was away from the community and didn't draw at all for four months at the start of 2023. This was my comeback piece. So many feelings attached to it. I'll likely go back and edit it a bit at some point. Til then here's a lil something from March 2023 for #TakeTwoTuesday. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath 🧡

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is carrying Stede bridal style. Stede's hand is on Ed's shoulder. Ed is in his leathers with a full beard. Stede is in a frilled teal suit. They're sharing a little smooch.

More Buttons! One perk of making him the choreographer is that I don't have to know any actual dance terminology. :D

“It’s hop, skip, clippity-cloppity, boom *bam*,” says Buttons.

“Isn’t that what we did?” asks Mary. She and Evelyn are in the black box with Buttons, looking sweaty and out of breath.
Buttons shakes his head. “Ye’ve mixed up yer cloppities and clippities and ended with a—” He does an imitation of an explosion.

“And that’s… different from a bam?” asks Evelyn.

“Extremely,” says Buttons. He demonstrates a dance step, then another that looks identical. “Do ye see it now?”

Mary bites her lip. “Show it to us just one more time?”
