delphidelphidelphidelphidelphiFor many fans of Our Flag Means Death, and particularly for fans of Izzy Hands, one scene had particular gravitas. In this scene, Izzy went from his lowest—alone and angry, drowning his sorrows—to being given a gift. A gift of a prosthetic for his lost limb, and a gift of community. The crew saw that he was hurting and put aside their own issues to tell him we see you, we care about you, we want you here. We believe that you can grow past this and we'll help.
Importantly, the prosthetic was created from the figurehead of the Revenge, the unicorn. On sailing ships, figureheads have always been signifiers of the ship itself, images of protection, and the crew chose Izzy to embody this. They chose him as their new figurehead—someone to care about them and lead them. They chose Izzy to embody the spirit of the ship.
This is a message that resonated with Licorne. In Spring of 2024 they envisioned this project as a tribute to both the character of Izzy Hands and to Con O'Neill, who brought Izzy to life in such a captivating manner. The community rallied behind them, and we're proud to present the combined effort.
Much love.
delphiA full-colour drawing of Jim Jiménez in their early s2 outfit, crouched down with their face turned away from the viewer. They hold a nonbinary pride flag, the splintered-off stick it's flying from braced against their shoulder.
delphiA full-colour cartoon of Izzy, Roach, and Frenchie all using Fang as a mattress. Fang, smiling and radiating little pink hearts of affection, has his arms around both Izzy and Roach, while Frenchie has commandeered Izzy's backside as a pillow.
cliopadra's OFMD art always looks like it's straight out of Mad Magazine in the best of ways, particularly in their comics, which are usually crammed with background gags. Much as I love their absurd humour, my heart melted to see their squishy cartoon style applied instead to a sweet cuddle pile featuring four of my favourite characters.delphiA digital painting of Armand and Daniel kissing. Armand is leaning down slightly over Daniel, cupping his cheek as Daniel closes his eyes. The space around them is dark, the lighting indirect except for where their mouths meet.
delphiA monochromatic drawing of a younger Izzy and Fang having a private moment in the hold of a ship. Fang is sitting beside a crate, one arm resting on it and the other around Izzy, who is straddling his thigh. His hand rests on the small of Izzy's back, whose shirt is rucked up to reveal a few scars and some loosened laces at the back of his breeches. Izzy is leaning forward, one hand on Fang's shoulder and the other taking hold of his beard. Both are flushed, Fang smiling warmly and Izzy's eyes half-lidded as he seems to lean in for a kiss.
delphiA full-colour drawing of Frenchie and Izzy on the deck of their ship with a brilliant blue sky behind them. Izzy, dressed in his usual black, is standing contentedly with a cup of tea or coffee. Frenchie, dressed in his green shirt and embroidered waistcoat from the latter half of s2, is leaning forward with a smile to rest his chin on top of Izzy's head. Despite his crossed arms and gaze fixed forward, Izzy is leaning back against Frenchie. The wound on his forehead has healed, and the steam rising from his drink forms a small heart.
delphiModern AU Fang naps on the sofa, a collie resting against his chest and a chihuahua nestled in the crook of his arm.
delphiA layered digital portrait combining a full-colour depiction of Izzy Hands's drag look from the episode "Calypso's Birthday" (2x06) with a blue monochrome version of the character from what appears to be the duel in "The Art of Fuckery" (1x06). The monochrome paint is flaking away from the surface, baring gold seams reminiscent of kintsugi as Izzy sheds his skin to reveal the colours beneath. His mouth is open, season 1 Izzy shouting angrily while season 2 Izzy sings his torch song. One of his eyes is still covered, full of pain, while the one that's been bared seems to be looking forward more clearly.
delphiA textured and stylized colour portrait of dark archfey Prince Andhera from the waist up. We see him from behind, his eyes downcast as he reaches toward the brightly glowing elemental shard embedded in the back of his neck. Wisps of rain cloud begin to form around him, countered by halos of gold.
delphiA limited palette drawing of Izzy surrendering to kisses from Fang and Frenchie. Izzy is in the middle, his arms around both men and a lit cigarette tucked between his fingers as he hunches down, seeming to laugh despite himself. Fang is going in low to kiss the corner of Izzy's mouth, while Frenchie is holding Izzy by the chin to kiss the tattoo on his cheekbone.
delphiA monochrome drawing of Izzy and Jack dressed up in classic pirate costumes, with Izzy as the captain in a long coat and cocked hat and Jack in slops with an eye patch and hook. Jack is holding Izzy by the hips, leaning down with cartoon hearts above him as Izzy reels him in by the neckerchief. Izzy has an expression of smug flirtation, while Jack looks besotted.
delphiA full-colour drawing of Azirphale and Crowley bicycling alongside a stone wall and rolling hills in the South Downs. Aziraphale is pedalling the bicycle—a vintage yellow model with a basket in front and a small stack of books and cut flowers on the rear rack—while Crowley sits on the handlebars, arms crossed, leaning back against him. Aziraphale is smiling, his coat tails flapping in the wind.
delphiA full-colour drawing of a RED team Medic and Scout fooling around in the infirmary. Scout is sitting on the edge of the operating table alongside a cup of tongue depressors and some jarred body parts, legs wrapped around Medic's waist and reeling him in by his necktie. Medic has taken off his gloves and has an arm around Scout. Both of them are smiling, and there is the implication that it might have something to do with whatever Scout is whispering in Medic's ear.
delphiA full-colour drawing of Hob (a bugbear and veteran soldier) kneeling astride a prone Andhera (an archfey prince of the Unseelie Court), pinning him down and holding a sword to his throat. Head turned in surrender, Andhera has a hand pressed to Hob's chest, over his heart.
snickficdelphiA monochromatic drawing of Izzy and Fang in bed together, Izzy in his underwear and Fang covered from the waist down by bedsheets—and by Izzy's body, as Izzy sits straddling his lap. Izzy is making a faint "ngh" sound, his hands on Fang's shoulders. Fang has his arms around Izzy's back and is smiling softly. Both of them are flushed and have shut their eyes, their faces nuzzling close together as they hold each other.
