If, I have a one small gripe it is that having both Hook and Jake who are both from Peter Pna works (even if two different mediums) seems odd to me but that is a minor thing that is just a me thing.

I'm very ignorant towards Treasure Island (1988) aside the Livesey meme, so I changed to another character from the same movie. I also changed the botton-middle pic to Risky Boots to add another female on the collage.

Middle row: Eric, Jack Sparrow, Jake
Bottom row: Buggy, Risky Boots, Zack

Smollett is also not a pirate, that movies version of John Silver might work:
I personally also like the idea of the Treasure Planet version of Captain Flint as well if only because he looks super alien which reinforces the scope of the trope:
I'm bad of choosing characters from works that I'm not familiar with. Okay, here's my final suggestion (for now).

Middle row: Eric, Jack Sparrow, Jake
Bottom row: Buggy, Risky Boots, Zack

I can but maybe we could throw in one of these Blackbeard as a replacement if others can't for it:


Better ?

I'd have liked a Science Fictioney pirate like Lizzy suggested, but you kinda couldn't tell The Treasure Planet dead guy was a pirate based on the crop (he looked like a greedy dragon)

I love the visual storytelling: Mila is surprised but intrigued by Long John's suddenly telling a tale at the bar (Blackbeard is waiting for his drink), Eric ans Sparrow are trying to ignore Jake and Buggy is annoyed at how Loud Risky Boots and Zak are being while the two plan their next crime.

Using 9 panels is not too much of a problem, since several other indexes like Canine Fiction, Witch Works and Bug Works has 9 panels collages too. I also had some trouble to find images that shows the Pirate part very, and just want to add some variety. This thread is getting long, maybe a crowner is needed to avoid clock

Isn't it preferable to have work images instead of characters? There's a recurring problem of these indexes being used simply because such a character shows up in the work regardless how relevant they are, and I think that depicting individual pirate characters is no help in that regard.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall

Are we to do the same with other indices like Canine Fiction?

I don't like how the images were cropped, they look very weird like that. I have a suggestion, and the works are on the caption.
Middle row: Eric, Jack Sparrow, Jake
Bottom row: Buggy, The Pirate Captain, Zack
