Those are some great ideas, thank you kindly.
I’m thinking of starting it off, with a jolly roger on the ball of my shoulder. However, unlike a regular/normal skull and cross bones, giving it some flesh/bones/blood.
I was also looking at getting so 3/4 bodied zombie pirates emerging from mist, and within the mist the words “dead men tell no tales” would be spelled out. I can definitly see using some of your idea, especially the chest idea.. maybe have the arm pulling at the words is some way.
Thanks again.
