*vanoss and kryoz and smitty before marriage*
kryoz: So, I heard you like bad boys.
smitty and vanoss: Not really.
kryoz: Oh thank God.
Trying to convince my partner to dress as luffy while I dress as buggy has not worked yet but they have agreed to a mihawk and shanks cosplay with me so that's going great >:3

Mornin', Sunshine
I've been hard at work on commissions for the past couple days and was able to take a little breather and put the final touches on one of my Bluffy fanarts for cool down.
Gonna try and post up some sneak peeks by the end of the week since a shoulder/neck injury has me stuck in bed for most of the day and my busy schedule has fizzled down a bit 💀
Anyway, enjoy.
Baby boy is sweepy and warm and isn't getting out of bed until he smells bacon and pancakes, which means Buggy also isn't getting up anytime soon.
vanoss: It’s time for plan B.
moo: We have a plan B?
vanoss: No, but I definitely think it’s time for one.
Bongy
It looks so good!
Vastly approaching the finish line for the lineart.
Got Luffy/Nika's outfit designed finally at least.
Mihawk is either terrible with flirting or the best there's ever been when people draw this man, and me personally, I find the idea of him being bad at it hilarious.
Also, here's the image I found that inspired this stupid idea.
vanoss: Look. I may not be a saint, but it's not like I’ve killed anybody. I’m not an arsonist. I’ve never found a wallet outside of an IHOP and thought about returning it but saw the owner lived out of state so just took the cash and dropped the wallet back on the ground. panda: Okay, that's really specific, and that makes me think that you definitely did do that.
