PHOTO #3:

Seems that Kelsey was taken hostage! This pirate capt'n sure is putting up a fight!

Now, onto even bigger news, Captain Avery has asked a very 'question-y' question this week- Which flag will your ship have?

Hmm?

Also, I love looking at the Pirate101 fan-art!

Please note that this post is not official and is only a fantasy interpretation. This is NOT actually Pirate101.

When Sky Squids Attack!

Aargh me fellow pirates!

I just have two words for you- Sky Squid!

J Todd Coleman has just shared one of the questions which help determine your pirate's school! It's just not as pleasant as I would expect, yarrr!

Here it is:

So tell me, how were your parents eaten by a sky squid, yarr?

So I guess that Commander Gandry really is Boochbeard's apprentice, or his brain/bodyguard after all!

Haha, I just hope I answer the questions properly to become a Swashbuckler, right? Ho-ho-ho!!

A Pirate's Treasure- A Sneak Peek of Design & Fan Art!

Aargh ye ol' chaps!

Recently, J Todd Coleman has posted a picture on Facebook shows the art and sequence of when you begin Pirate101.

Check the picture below: 

J Todd Coleman adds, and I quote:

another interesting look behind the curtain: sometimes when we need to do a dialogue sequence (usuallly connected to some important event, like character creation or a significant encounter) we'll break it into storyboard frames, the same kind that you might use when creating a movie or a TV show.

Well, I think that's very interesting! It begins with you in a prison, which I believe is Zenda. Afterwards, Commander Gandry, along with Boochbeard, enters and sets you out of the cell. There, I believe you name and personalize your pirate, and there's also a tutorial to teach you the combat style I'm guessing?

Yep, this game will be super interesting!

Just a little while ago, I tried to do a sketch of a fellow Swashbuckler, Morgan Latiffe:

I think it came out pretty well, don't you?

Happy Sailing, young pirates!

I will keep everyone up to date on how my progress is going. :)
