Anne Jane Thornton, a 15-year-old girl, dressed as a cabin boy on a transatlantic voyage to find the man she loved, who had gone to America in 1832. On arrival, she found he had died so she took posts on other ships, calling herself Jim Thornton. On her return crossing to London on The Sarah, a crew member noticed that she was a woman and she was taken to the ship's captain, who kept her on as a crewman.

FINALLY, I finished the refs for my lil cabin boys, and they have ACTUAL REFS!
(I swear they do look better when they’re clicked on)
I’m so happy about how these two came out, gave Bats a more simple ref since they don’t have as much physical detail as Ollie
Here’s how the goofy duo look side by side
And also a close up of Bats rarely worn piece of jewelry, in case anyone wanted a better look at it
If any of y’all wanna ask about my lil guys, wether it be these ones or any of my other ones, feel free to ask :}

Tales of Eros-Laszlo's Legacy: Yugo and Mugen
Name/s: Yugo and Mugen
Age: 9 (Yugo) ??? (Mugen)
Species: Grolar Simian Beastani and Winter Stox
Class: Thief
Weapon of choice: Twin Hatchet Axes/ Magic+Shape shifting
Bio:
One of the youngest members of the Skull Anchor Pirates. He and his older brother (who mysteriously disappeared) Gero were the only survivors after the demons, lead by Lord Archezel, invaded and caused destruction of their home in Fredor. With his partner, a Winter Stox named Mugen, Yugo has the skills to not only survive but steal many valuables but with a catch. Yugo and Mugen only stole many valuables only from those who succumb to greed as they only help those who are in dire need. Mugen plays the role of a parental guardian as Yugo and his missing brother has lost his loved ones and home at 3, and he refuses to let the poor go without resources. However, Yugo has suffered from a mysterious stomach pain as the crew are in a race against time to find out what causes Yugo to be in so much pain.
A/N: I haven't been doing that much art due to personal conflict but it is coming; However, I have been continuing working on my old project that I have since 2008 and it's going good. I had already posted the lead protagonist, Laszlo, earlier. And I am happy to finally post the thief of his group, Yugo and Mugen. I don't want Yugo and Mugen to be typical pirate thieves as they want to be able to help many who lost everything just like them. Yugo took a while to find a good concept until it finally hit. He used to be a mix of a polar bear, emperor penguin and a macaque; now he is his own species based on a grolar bear and a monkey.

Recently watched: bizarre 1994 comedy Cabin Boy. I’ve always loved Chris Elliott’s anarchic appearances on the golden age of Late Night with David Letterman (thankfully they’re preserved on YouTube) and was curious to see his one big stab at movie stardom Cabin Boy. Last night when I was crashed out on the sofa flipping through TV stations, I found that it was playing! I liked Cabin Boy’s freewheeling kitschy Pee-wee Herman vibes (Tim Burton produced it). I know Cabin Boy flopped at the time, but maybe it’s due for potential cult movie reappraisal? Anyway, I didn’t manage to finish it (it was late at night by time I started watching) but I did see the guest star appearance by the fabulous Ann Magnuson as alluring six-armed, blue-skinned temptress Calli (pictured).

This is the 9th chapter of the "Lost is Found."
This time travel story involves each of the Beatles going back in time separately, going on their own adventures.
This is Ringo's story, the second chapter.
Ringo Starr is a captain of a ship in the colonial time period. The Beatle is sailing to the Americas when he discovers a slave child within his crew. How does the 20th century man deal with such an outrageous cruelty in this dark time of history?
