One day you're a glorious pirate with big ambition

One day you're a glorious pirate with big ambitions of looting and plundering sailing through the seven seas, the next you're getting chomped on by a ravenous Great White! Such is the tale of our 9th GPK inspired character "Captain Cooked," the worst pirate since you know who! Illustrated for @filmquest by the absurdly talented @alexander_buie (give a follow and like), you'll think twice about swimming in the open waters after witnessing the Captain's gruesomely hilarious fate!

Here comes the BOOM! Our 8th character in the @filmquest GPK inspired series, the glorious valkyrie warrior goddess Boom Hilda rides out of Valhalla thumping Wagner like it never went out of style! Illustrated by @alexander_buie (give a follow), not even a lightning strike to her steed will keep her from smashing the shields of all who oppose her while rocking out with the Gods above!
