VIPooer 👑 #SoTFestV Vendor!!

Take the keyboard away from the Ai dweeb and he ain't making shit.

Take the pencil away from the artist and we start making origami with the paper.

Real artists don't need to rely on a specific tool or medium to create art. We can improvise with whatever is on hand.

Issue 36 of The Privateer, it contains 2 articles: "Accessability Across The Seas", and "Honouring A Legend Of The Sea". Due to google changing policies to be more pro AI, we are currently moving the archive, so if you want the articles in full please reach out to us and we are happy to share in any form you need!

Our chief Empress Jessica recently embarked on a rather unique challenge with her 2 crewmates, Ferwyna and Halo. In this issue, she discusses the ideas it has given her to improve SoT's accessibility even further!

We also pay homage to a true legend gone too soon.

Mica was such a beautiful and loving person to everyone in the community. Our thoughts are with her family and everyone who was close to her.

A framed piece of art on the right shows two cartoony versions of the Battletoad named Rash, one with sunglasses and red wrap on his elbow, and a second with a large chin and only the spiky accessories.

A cartoon fridge door with Fan Art Friday in colourful magnets. A framed piece of art on the right shows a highly detailed drawing of a pirate swinging from the mast of a ship while sailing in a volcanic region. The pirate has fabulous white hair, and the Ashen Curse which means a red glow can be seen under their skin at various points. Text reads: Art by Shiva Walker, shivawalkerart.bsky.social.

It's morphin' time! No wait, it's #FanArtFriday time! We often get those confused. What's not confusing is how good these beauts are! Look at the Battletoads new and old from @mostlyghostly.bsky.social and the super-detailed @seaofthieves.com scoundrel from @shivawalkerart.bsky.social LOOK AT THEM!

A hand clenched in a way to show all five nails. Each nail has a design inspired by a different Sea of Thieves Tall Tale.
