Description

As most people know, both in the creepypasta an the supposed "real series", Horace Horrible is the auto-proclamed servant of the Skin-Taker. But he's also the captain of his own pirate ship. The only information about the "Rubber Fishes" on the candle cove wiki is: "Most of the antagonists of the show are a rival pirate gang, the Rubber Fishes. Most of them act like goofy, childish drunks, and sport several disabilities and deformities." That's all. Is supposed to be a rival pirate gang, but there's not more information. Only Horace is known. C'mon people, Horace need a tripulation!

For all this, I was thinking for a while to draw this guys. There's no information about them, so I had to create them all from zero. Despite this, almost they all are a reference to some monsters or characters from another series or cartoons.

This is not really a drawing, only a painted sketch. All critiques, suggestion and comments in general are welcome. Specially if the user VortexBJ, who has pretty good candle cove art, wants to comment here, I would be very glad.

Soon I'm going to write their names and maybe some more about them.

EDIT: well, here we go with the names and that stuff:

Horace Horrible: he doesn't need an introduction. Everyone who knows candle cove knows him. (who don't know candle cove, Horace is the bald guy with the monocle). He's the captain of a whole pirate gang, but he's incompetent, drunken and rather silly and childlike. Horace has demonstrated to be competent as a pirate sometimes, but in these occasions he shows his most insane personality. He's the eternal nemesis of the Laughingstock crew, and has a special hatred for Poppy. He's not only a pirate (a bad one indeed) but also a sorcerer and voodoo amateur. He can invoke the Skin-Taker or any other of the monsters of the Abysmal Kingdom. Thanks to his work for the Skin-taker, this last one made a magic spell onto Horace's ship, making it of rubber, literally, and therefore unsinkable. Horace believes the Skin Taker to be his only true friend in the world, but the skeleton only sees Horace as a worthless slave.

Joe: the shortest one (with the half-dead face and the red hair). Joe is the most ignored, weak and manipulable of the whole crew. He appears to be a kid, but he's in fact 45 years old. He has a lot of vices, like drugs, alcohol, or gambling. All his problems before becoming pirate made him lose half of his head during a fight for a bag full of opium, and almost all the longitude of his legs a cause of a several gangrene. The rotten half of his head is poorly sewed to the rest of the body, so it falls to one side sometimes and makes the inner, rotten flesh visible. Joe also has very serious personality disorders, that usually lead him to act both as a complete psychopath or as a shy pushover. Sir Earthworm, the worm which lives in his rotten ear is always tempting him to commit suicide. The rest of the time, Sir Earthworm is insulting Joe or eating his flesh.

Sunny: the blue one with the hay hat and the poncho. Unlike the others, sunny was born with all her deformations. She's blue skinned because of the lack of oxygen in her blood (which is also blue), only has one eye and extremely slim limbs. She came from the sand lands, at the west of Candle Cove (the sand lands are like a cowboy country). Her own family almost burn her like a witch when she was falsely accused of having killed her brother. She's the most active and intelligent of the Rubber Fishes, and the provisional captain when Horace is drunken or asleep. In fact, no one of the others know that she's a woman, mostly because she usually hides her female body parts and talks with "male voice". She's teetotaler.

Flylip (Or Philip fly lips as his forename): Flylip has Irish accent, wears green pirate clothes and always has a four leaf clover in his chest and a horse-shoe in his neck. Despite the fact he has a huge fly head, the rest of his body is completely human. He has two more sleeves sewn at his clothes, although he doesn't have arms to put in them. He can talk but he never uses his fly mouth; no one knows where his voice come from. Also, the reason that he has a fly head is a punishment for breaking a deal with Beelzebub years ago. He's obsessed with souvenirs, luck and fate. He's also the cooker of the ship, and a very hygienic person. His specialty is a drink that he calls "yin-yang coffee", and its made of 2% coffee, 98% rat poop.

Hoody Hans (Or Hans Silver Hands as his forename): This guy is a mystery. No one, even Horace, has seen him naked. He speaks in a soft Deutsch accent, and has a silver hook as his only "hand". Sometimes alive worms and cockroaches fall from inside his yellow, sailor clothes, and his head is never visible, only his sharp teeth. He has a very dark humor, always joking about death and philosophical concepts. Always that alcohol is needed, he can pull a bottle of rum out of his sleeve, and somehow, the bottle is always full. Hoody Hans became pirate for avoid the jail, but when someone asks him for the reason of his sentence, he only says: "it wasn't my fault, those children were already dead".

Doll: he was a rude man who messed a lot with voodoo shamans and wizards for getting money or powerful magical potions. He also has a long record of robberies and other crimes. One day he lost a bet with a voodoo sorcerer and he lost also his head as payment; the voodoo sorcerer replaced his head with a reduced-head full of straw and a half-eaten brain bird. He talks very little, is silly, slow, but very strong. Due to the fact that he doesn't have a complete human brain his inteligence is almost the same as a little kid.

Rhina: Horace's pet, rhina is a mutant giant rat that acts like a normal dog. Nothing more to say, everybody loves Rhina XD.
