Willy Bones. The Skeleton Overlord.

  • alt text
    Character story:

    Willy was a professional booze taster on Captain Surgee's ship. At least that's what he told everyone who caught him pouring liters of beverage right into his throat, straight from the barrel. One night when the crew went treasure hunting, Willy hid behind the palm tree for a little tester. He was very serious about his job, so he made sure he drank enough to give it a fair verdict. The work was hard...so Willy took a short nap. When he woke up the ship was gone. He was left alone on an island full of deadly skellys. Willy was fighting off skellys for many days but they just kept on coming! He knew he couldn't beat them...and if you can't beat them, join them! Willy was able to catch one of the skellys "alive". Then with the help of some ropes, he tied skellys bones to his body, piece by piece. It almost looked like an armor. Skeleton and Willy became one. He was no longer attacked by other Skellys. It wasn't long before Willy realized, that other skeletons are willing to listen to his commands as he was the smartest pile of bones on the island. Willy was aware of the great power that he obtained. An army of fearless skeletons at his disposal. The rumor has it that Willy will kill any pirates that come to the island, in an attempt to steal a ship and form his own undead crew. This is the story of Willy Bones, the only pirate that the Bones are Willing to obey. They say Captain Surgee is the first name on his hit list.

    Ahoy there!
    So here is my 2nd art. Since my last (first) art I was extremely busy at work and had no chance to draw at all. Just tonight I found few moments and sketched this one quickly. It's a rush job so it's not as detailed as Redbeard the Blind (for those who didn't see it, here it is https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/6071/fan-art-redbeard-the-blind) but I thought I'd share it anyway. Hope you'll like it. Cheers!

  • Love it! And the little bit of back story to your character :D
    Thank you for sharing.
    Looking forward to the next one now lol

  • Great story..I think u should build up on his backstory a little and his skelly armor..
    Overall..great start i can't wait for u next..!:):)

  • Thanks a lot, guys! :)
    I'm really glad you like it. @Arvonah I have so many ideas about stories and characters but writing about it in English is my weak side. I'm not a native English speaker so I can only hope the readers will make sense out of my scribble.

  • @Captain-Surgee Your English sounds just great to me :)

  • @Captain-Surgee Hey, your english was better than mine and I am english! Never let that hold you back, this was an awesome story for a character! Ty for the read

  • @Captain-Surgee no worries bro ur english are great!i love this type of stories..i will wait to see how it will unfolds!

  • Cool character.

  • Something like Withc Doctor and Necro from Diablo. I like Diablo this is awesome too.

  • Beautiful !

  • @Captain-Surgee

    That's brilliant - with the backstory as well I can see him as a character in Sea of Thieves, you've really got a talent for this!

  • @BreadedDig3 Ahoy me matey and welcome to the forum! I see ye be a young pirate in the ways of the forum so might I suggest ye first get herself joined up to the 'Insider Programme' . A quick scroll to the bottom of this page should help you on your way. If you've already put yer monika to that, then might I suggest you log out, clear browser cache and log back in to make your insider tag appear. This will help you two-fold. One, you will have access to even more threads in the forum, and the second most important thing is it gets you one step closer to possibly being chosen to test the game.

    While ye be twiddling yer thumbs why nor sail on over to Your First Port of Call an ideal place to start your career as a pirate. Introduce yourself Here and if you're feeling confident Here be where you put your face to your name.
    As you can see, there's loads to do here, savvy?

  • @Captain-Surgee Thanks for the post mate.
    loving this.

  • Looks great! I wonder if they will add NPC's with good backstories like this one.

  • great job on both. Sorry I somehow missed the first one.

  • Woah! I didn't expect that many comments and upvotes :) Cheers, my fellow pirates! This Easter was the only opportunity that I had in weeks for some drawing exercise. Hopefully, I won't have to wait till Christmas for the next day off, hehe. I can't wait to extract more of my weird ideas onto the canvas. I know that in Sea of Thieves, the players will make their own adventures, but I do hope that we will see some NPC's (boss or friendly) with interesting stories (better than what I come up with, obviously!)

  • @Captain-Surgee Your quite the artist mate, btw sound a bit like Billy Bones from Black Sails..

  • I love this one and Readbeard! Nice work! Print it on a canvas and id buy it :P

  • @Captain-Surgee

    Really good picture and back story, you've got some nice creative flair. Also, I'm glad there's a full stop in the title of the thread as we might be talking about something else...

  • @Captain-Surgee

    Nice fan art its really well done haha

  • well the game could use the idea of this particular fan art..:P
    They could make a small ingame quest like that..:P
