What do I miss about Captain Swan?

I miss the way they brought out the best in each other. Hook was such an important friend for Emma … he was the first person she met that she didn’t have an unknown history with. I loved that they weren’t destined .. they fell in love because they were drawn to each other and they confided in each other and they shared things that only they could understand.

For Hook, Emma was really the first person who knew him as a pirate but gave him a chance as a man … she saw past the eyeliner and leather to the kindred spirit underneath and she knew this man had similar scars to her own.

Both of them had walls and the only people to bring those down were each other. And they had the patience with the other person while still being a real couple with fights and disagreements and wrong decisions sometimes being made … 

They fought for their love and they won. And we won the best ship with so many gorgeous memories.

Captain Swan, I’ve missed you! 

I’m sorry it’s been a while but exciting news, I’ve been picked up by an Australian based greeting card company! It’s watercolour illustrations as seen at my Instagram and I’ve been working hard on those of late, but Captain Swan and Once will always be in my heart so you’ll see more fanart too.This one is charcoal and pastel on a really rough toothed pastel paper. 

If you’d like to share this one, please use my original sources, much appreciated! Here’s my other fanart on Tumblr. Also Instagram / Redbubble / website / Pinterest / Facebook. Cheers!

The Swan Princess: Part 2

xemmaloveskillianx:

Sequel to The Swan Princess . Takes place right where the first one left off. 


RATED T: LANGUAGE AND SOME VIOLENCE.

WORDS: 9505


I wasn’t planning on doing a Part 2, but here we are. I hope you all enjoy it. Thank you so much to the Colin to my Sean, @pirateherokillian​, for reading this over for me. ❤


Emma’s known from a very young age that she wasn’t like
other animals. There was something inside of her that always felt a little… off. Sure, she looked like other
swans, but whenever she tried to communicate with them, they would merely
squawk at her and she’d always end up utterly confused. Whereas with the
humans, she never had trouble understanding them, and despite not being able to
speak as they did, their language was as clear as the sky after a storm.

Today’s Captain Swan Big Bang Spotlight
features @imagnifika!

How long have you been making artwork for the OUAT fandom? What
sorts of artwork (original or fan art) did you make before joining the OUAT
fandom?

For OUAT: 2 almost years

What sort of artwork do you like to make, either in terms of
style, medium, or subject matter?

I suppose I’m not very good at making works for M-rated scenes. Everything else will do.

Who’s your favorite subject for artwork: Emma or Killian? Or do
you prefer both together? Why?

Together! So that’s my works can’t be used for other edits and pairings.

If you participated in the 2016 Big or Little Bangs, the 2017 Big
Bang, or the 2018 Little Bang, what was the experience like for you? What are
you looking forward to this time around?

Oh. I’ve done some manips for CSBB but only when it all was over. Hope I can help an author (s) while the story (ies) is (are) in process.

What is your favorite piece of artwork you’ve made for OUAT? 

Why
is it your favorite?
 

I suppose they are made with inspiration and with enough skills to make it look natural (and good, hopefully)
