MOD EATER PIRATE! THE FINAL MOD EATER NPC! Captain Haley Bullywort, the feared dread pirate who's crew of ghouls and ghosts sails the ocean in-between planes on the frightful starship Galloween!
One of the most wanted star-pirates in the universe, Bullywort and his crew are responsible for sacking ships belonging to quite a few powerful people, but his high bounty belies the fact that he carries himself with a jolly and showman-like manner, and mainly targets particularly opulent-looking ships.
Ships like the Hyperlight Alice.
Captain Bullywort and his crew attempted to take the ship in an attack of opportunity, but found themselves on the receiving end of a beatdown from the ship's violent inhabitants. Bullywort himself was reduced to a severed jack o' lantern by Vix... but the pirates ended up being spared due to Vix considering the fight enjoyable and honorable.
Vix tried to coerce the candlelit captain to join the Alice's crew, because she thought he was cool, but while he greatly wanted to accept, in the end, his role as captain of his existing crew was more important.
But, due to their honorable duel and sparked friendship, Vix and Bullywort traded contact info. Even if he doesn't live on the Alice, he's an interesting thing out in the universe, and just maybe, he'll be a useful emergency contact someday!
Well, I guess I've finished all of the Terraria NPC's.
I started doing these at the beginning of this year, and in the time it took to finish all of them, we got episode one of mod eater out, and the next episode on it's way.
It's been a hell of a year, but I want to deeply thank everyone who's paid any attention to this project, and especially thank the Terraria community here on Tumblr. You're all wonderful artists and lovely people, and heading into the new year, I hope to be able to share lots more art with you all, and maybe even make proper friends instead of just living in my hermitous art cave. Is there a Tumblrarria discord?
Eh, whatever~. The thank you is the important part. And I really mean it. Thank you all, for being willing to care about my designs, my writing, and my weird remix of Terraria. It feels wonderful to see people genuinely enjoy my creative work~.
Happy holidays, and a very happy new year!

hey, god? I was wondering if you could ease up on the fucking pirates. I'd like to actually enjoy the beginning of hardmode for once.

One might also say it's counter-productive. Or hypocritical. Incompatible, even.

Now, it might look like I did Day 1 and then promptly quit which. Technically correct.
Day 2: Sail stumped me. Just got nothing but static when trying to come up with something there. Day 3: Guide ironically cleared some things up for me with that, so. Here's a 2-in-1, folks!
these terraria npcs would probably make an acceptable crew. I think. Maybe.

Couldn't help but notice the Porate still doesn't have a Mod Eater counterpart
Does it help you at all to know that Canon Pirate apparently sees the Angler as an apprentice of sorts for pirate hood?
Or that one of his possible names is James T. Beard, referencing Kirk from Star Trek?
The pirate has been driving me crazy, and I'm going to use this as an opportunity to wax about it!
The Hyperlight Alice was concocted because I wanted the characters to have a home base that could move from place to place, going to different mod worlds so that I could possibly explain all of the crazy stuff in mods as all being in one setting. The original idea behind making it a cruise ship was the thought that perhaps certain mod NPC's could even come with, becoming recurring cast members.
That idea probably won't happen, A. because there are a lot of modded NPC's, and B. because there are a ton of base-game Terraria NPC's!
Seriously, I hadn't processed how many there were until I started designing them all! There's almost thirty! And trying to make all of them characters is tough.
The Pirate has been kicking my ass, because at every step, I keep asking what his point is. My first thought was to have him be a space-pirate who, when defeated, books his ghostly ass a room on the alice in order to play trickster mentor and drink all the booze.
Sounds good! I even started sketching a sexy ganondorf looking guy in a pirate hat!
But wait: a sexy older guy with ghost powers who acts jolly but has a tempered darkness he uses to guide the heroes in his own weird way?
Oops! that's literally just the way I already wrote the clothier!
Once I realized that, things spun out of control. Making him a cunning bastard in general started to feel off, because there are so many cunning bastards on the ship. Captain velacruz, the party girl, the clothier, the dye trader, the merchant, and truffle cover most of that spectrum.
And most of their potential bones, I feel like I've used. The Merchant being the angler's uncle. The party girl being a master manipulator. the clothier's ghost curse. All the bits that would have made up the pirate got divided up and split across the cast.
Other ideas have flown furiously in my head. Maybe he's a retired naval officer instead of a pirate. Maybe he's a mashup of beetlejuice and Ramsey from epithet erased. Spooky did a fantastic design where the pirate is a beachside amusement fortune teller that Vix broke, who's ghost is now haunting her... but even though he did such a great job with the design (I should see if I can find it and post it) it still struck me with "what potential story can I weave with this? How does it help things?"
Other ideas have occurred as well, and they've been getting very esoteric: making the pirate the face of the haunting that pervades the Alice. Making them a mysterious wanted space pirate that I can introduce when the story actually requires them. Making them a deliberate imposter from outside the story who has put on a pirate hat in order to steal their spot.
Making the mod eater versions of the NPC's has been a blast, but in doing so, I've learned a little bit about asking yourself what role a character fills in your story. And I do think I can beat this. the tavernkeep also stumped me in the same way until I found a story role I liked: put-upon neurotic normal, and now she adds a good dimension of emotion that was missing before.
So I'm sure the pirate has a niche. I just haven't figured out what it is yet. Who knows? Maybe it will end up being that invader from outside the plot (she's a character who I made a vow to try to include in every project I work on, long story. Ask me about it sometime!). Maybe it will even be an existing mod character! The spirit mod's gambler would look good in a pirate coat.
Overall though, I think this is proof of how creative we can truly get with the things we work on. There are endless possibilities when interpreting and playing with tropes and ideas, no matter simple they may seem. Where even something as simple s a little sprite of a pirate captain can drive an artist crazy trying to think of all the infinite possibilities of who he could be as a character.
I do wanna try to finish the set before new years tho so I do have a bit of a deadline.

sometimes the sight of your pirate roommate-brofriend-lover with a manbun hauling furniture and other stuff around the house distracts you from the questionable recipes he’s asking about
