So when I revealed the unknown characters on the playing cards a lot of you pirates expressed interested in this particular card

'The Lovers', as everyone wanted to call them.

Well, it may surprise you when you find out that these two are actually villains.

And their proper name is The Highwaymen

Pirates, meet Mortimer and Phia

(Rough sketches here)

They are not particularly major villains, just a pair of hired bounty hunters who happen to be very in love

Also Phia is some kind of wood elf or something.

Francis has a very interesting relationship with them, as they do keep trying to kidnap him, but whenever they try to, they also give him an update on their relationship

Yeah.

They have swordfights quite a lot because the Highwaymen are really into old fashioned ways of doing things

I think they even predate Magdalena, who we made quite a while ago

(Rip because old art)

In fact, they might even have made an appearance in Francis dump in my other art book (which, if you don't know, is like the first time Francis was introduced)

They're like my favorite minor villains

....

Also we don't have many other minor villains

....

There's like

The Merblades

And this other one

But none others

....

Anyone want to help with that?

Maybe another contest????

....

Or something

We'll figure it out

ALSO

I wanna do another one of these

Except with the ladies

So if you wanna comment a letter, number, and a character.

Because I have labor day weekend

Kay that's all

Remember, you are too a real pirate, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Smooth sailing!
