Final #artfight attacks done! Really ran out of steam at the end, but that's okay. It was still fun and I'll be back next year :DD

First revenge finished! At this rate I'll only have time for revenges for the rest of the month (Molly and Missy, by Boop_the_snoot) #artfight2026

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Work just almost doubled my hours :// I just wanna do artfight man :(( Today, have a very messy sketch.

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

First attack done!! Just a friendly fire warmup but he was too cute and I couldn't resist :DD (Blu, by Tokudoku) #artfight

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Artfight has begun and I'm challenging myself to post daily drawings/updates! Or as close to daily as I can get, considering work just upped my hours :(( #wip

A sketchbook page with messy pencil thumbnail sketches of three characters with their own sections. The top section has three, with one being blank. The middle has three, with none being blank. And the bottom has four, with one being blank. Details on the characters are very hard to make out, but you can tell the first character is much more simple than the rest.

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

right I forgot to actually post the new reference sheets for this year - here they are! expect to see them again after artfight because I'm quite proud of them :DD in the meantime - go team comedy! #artfight #oc

040

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Final day and I'm finally done with my updated refs! I also finally picked a team, sorry mystery it was a tough choice :(( #artfight

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Busy busy week (I finally got a car!) But two more refsheets sketched with the final one almost done >:)) artfight I'm coming for you #oc #wip #artfight

a sketched refsheet of my OC vala. It has a full body sketch, a smaller fullbody sketch showing the back of her design, a portrait sketch, a loose sketch of her emergency hatchet, and a sketch of her marital necklace she shares with cerys. The words on the page are bullet points reading : "meaning 'the slain'" , "lesbian" , "married to cerys" , "follows no god" , "resurrected via love (/srs)"

a sketched refsheet of my OC dwynwen. It has a full body sketch, a smaller fullbody sketch showing the back of her design, a portrait sketch, a loose sketch of her casting focus - an orb, and several small sketches of rings she owns. The words on the page are bullet points reading : "meaning 'wave'" , "pansexual" , "married to kavi" , "follows the god of love" , "would do anything for cerys"

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

look whose refsheet is fully sketched!! I just might manage to make all four in time for artfight... maybe #oc #wip #artfight

a sketched refsheet of my OC cerys. It has a full body sketch, a smaller fullbody sketch showing the back of her design, a portrait sketch, a loose sketch of her spellbook, and a sketch of her marital necklace she shares with vala. The words on the page are bullet points reading : Cerys, meaning 'love'. aroace lesbian. married to vala. follows the god of love. fights said god to save vala.

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

finally got a day off and I'm making great progress on my ref sheets for this year!! #oc #wip #artfight

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

I see we can post many images at once now - and it's pride month so... have a bunch of queer oc memes! #oc #art #sketch

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Got a couple morpho books as a little treat to myself and please tell me I'm not the only one who sees "handsome squidward" in this diagram. I know it's to demonstrate the relation between skeletal and muscle structure but. I can't not see it.

A picture of a page from the "face, head, and neck" morpho book. It shows a diagram of a head where the face is fully filled out but the cheeks, jaw, and top of the head are a skull structure. The skull look combined with the full facial features makes it resemble 'handsome squidward'

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

'lightly rendered' versions are done! Now I just have to finish that illustration and the game is . finished? Terrifying. #rpgmaker #oc

a rendered drawing of my goblin wizard character, kamma. He is smiling and is lit from the upper left with what looks like sunlight. His metal jewelry shines in the light and I'm very proud of it please notice that.

A rendered drawing of my half-troll wizard character, Urbek. He is rolling his eyes in annoyance and is lit from the upper left with what looks like sunlight. His metal jewelry also shines in the light and I'm very proud of it too please notice.

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

I don't know why I bothered trying out the test-rendered version when I knew I'd like it more and don't have time to make them all like that :(( Maybe after artfight I'll do a little update? #rpgmaker

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

making good progress on the game! The final sketch is finished so it's just art cleanup and some dialogue editing and I'm ready to go for my (hopefully) June 5th date :DD #rpgmaker #indiedev #wip

a greyscale messy sketch of a scene for my game. the main character, kamma, stands at the bottom of the piece with the dryad he was looking for emerging from the ground in front of him

a messily colored and shaded sketch of an illustration for my game. the main character, kamma, stands at the bottom of the piece with the dryad he was looking for emerging from the leafy ground in front of him. Sunlight dramatically cuts through the air.

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Yes I do need all 101 events, thank you for asking. (it was supposed to be exactly 100 but I forgot I'd need one for the cutscene too) #rpgmaker

a screenshot of rpgmaker MZ where you can see all of the events on the map outlined in boxes. There are over 50 on the screenshot.

011

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

the final puzzle is up and running! now I just need to finalize and add all the dialogue, and the core of the game will be done :DD #rpgmaker #indiedev

I MISSED LESBIAN VISIBILITY DAY DD: QUICK EVERYONE LOOK AT MY OCS BEING CUTIES

A flat colored sketch of two of my ocs cerys and vala probably kissing behind Cerys' sunhat while she holds it up to cover their mouths. The bow and flowers on her hat are in the color of the lesbian flag

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

been struggling to get much done this past week but finally managed to knock out the sketches for urbek's expressions! between working on this game and prepping for artfight my energy is at 0 :((

two design sketches of my original characters, a half-troll named Urbek, and a goblin named Kamma. Both are mages.

a closeup of Urbek, he's rolling his eyes

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

not to spoil one of the puzzles but... god forbid I just say 'the dryad is magic, don't worry about it' no no I just *had* to spend an hour researching the coloration of cherry blossoms and how to affect them. speculative biology my beloved <3

a screenshot with the text "cherry blossoms get their color from anthocyanins, so do hydrangeas. a higher pH results in a more red/pink color, and a neutral pH affects the color much less. limestone can naturally keep water in a roughly 6.5-8.5 range. 7 is completely neutral.

less sunlight, and warmer weather can cause cherry blossoms to be more dully colored as well.

so we assume the water is lined with limestone, keeping the pH neutral-high. There is little sunlight in the cave-thing, and it traps heat well. therefore the flowers are less pigmented, and so is their dryad after staying here."

a screenshot of a web browser with several tabs open, all about cherry blossoms, flower coloration, or limestone. The displayed page is the wikipedia page for anthocyanins - specifically the pH subsection

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

working on the dryad sprite. I need pretty much one animation from her but oh man have I never done anything more than a simple walk cycle

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

before and after I added some lighting !! it's not the greatest but I've given myself a time limit on this game so I'm pretty happy with how quickly I knocked it out

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

a couple more oc meme sketches, lesbian edition! I'll probably color all these eventually but for now they're a really good way to relax with everything going on. Game update coming soon!!

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

combating burnout from working on my game by drawing my favorite self indulgent OCs ! like mother like daughter, somehow cerys and dwynwen are always serving while vala and kavi are .. there for sure. (I can't even blame it on drawing men because vala isn't one)

three of my OCs drawn over a meme. Cerys is pointing threateningly at Vala's mother while lifting vala who looks somewhat distressed and clings to her like a child. You can see Vala's arm which showcases she is stronger than cerys.

Valas mother is seen from the back and labeled due to her not having a canon design and never appearing before

two of my OCs drawn over a meme. Dwynwen sits in the drivers seat, casually touching up her lipstick while Kavi, her husband, panickedly reaches across her for the steering wheel she's let go of.

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Been having some extra stress at work and banging my head into a wall over the game I'm working on so I decided to try out the goauche I bought a little while back! I usually work in watercolor but this isn't too bad for a first try I think.

A picture of a watercolor and goauche painting. It has a metallic painted golden moon in the top left corner, and a floating bundle of poppies and cottonwood on a blue gradient background.

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

sketches for kamma's portraits are done! cleanup won't be till much later since how much I do depends on how long all the other stuff takes me

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

fixed that bug and am finally starting work on kamma's portraits! trying to get his energy right and he looks so much younger than he is. which is the point, that's why he's on this research trip anyway, but still. making him look both young and mature is hard.

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

finished another barotrauma wallpaper! I love this game so much, I wish I enjoyed it more singleplayer :(( Like last time you can grab a fullsized version (2560x1440) on my kofi! (It's free too, don't worry)

a grainy illustration of a husk chimera from barotrauma stepping out of a darkened doorway and over a dead body in a combat diving suit into a lit area.

010

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

I don't really need a sprite for Urbek but I made one to go with kamma's anyway and I'm pretty happy with it :DD

010

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Been drawing on my breaks at work trying to figure out how I want to handle kamma's expressions. I think I'm onto something because you can never go wrong with big floppy ears :DD

A group of pencil sketches of my goblin character, Kamma. There is one rough one of his entire outfit, a closeup of his face where he looks angry, and four very loose sketches with focus on his ears and how they move for different emotions

010

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

good news! I got the cool animated map title screen working! Bad news, it's causing an error that I can't figure out how to fix. Hopefully I'll have a bit more luck when I try again later :((

a still image of an rpgmaker title screen with a pink-tinted map in the background. The title is 'Bestiary : Dryad' and the menu buttons read (top to bottom) 'New Game, Continue, Options, Game End'

a screenshot of an rpgmaker error. It says "Type Error" in bold yellow font, and the line under that reads "Cannot read property 'tilesetNames' of null"

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

making another barotrauma illustration - this time I'm recording a (hopefully) better timelapse ! #wip

a closeup screenshot of a wip illustration. it features an unrendered dead body wearing a combat diving suit from the game barotrauma, with a husk chimera stepping over it.

020

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Got the base maps done! here's the final room, minus the dryad you'll find in there :DD trying really hard to keep this as small-scale as I originally planned but hoo boy. The Urges.

a screenshot of an rpgmaker map, using kokoro reflections dryad palace tileset. there's an archway leading to a leafy platform in front of a pond with a large statue in the center.

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Got all his walking directions done! He looks a little out of place with the tileset I'm using but I'll fix that later, for now I really need to finish the map - rpgmaker makes it easy but it's still not my favorite part

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

finished the barotrauma watcher wallpaper I was working on! pretty good practice, and the full sized version is on my kofi (for free!) along with a couple of wips and a (low quality, oops) timelapse for anyone interested.

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

ego renegade boy is still consuming my brain, so I had to draw about it. not my best work and I've never done anything with an eyestrain pallet before but hey it was pretty fun :DD

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

in honor of my friend group wanting to play requiem but not having money we've started replaying 2 and 4 and streaming for eachother. So of course I had to make a meme about it to go with the ones I made a couple years back.

a colored sketch of leon kennedy in his resident evil 4 outfit. He is drawn over the meme of danny devito asking "can I offer you an egg in this trying time"

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

a little late to the party but I just listened to Ego Renegade Boy and 1. ouch but 2. this video? amazing???? personal favorite little detail is the blood splatter being over the waist area of the chalk outline and they literally zoom in on it right before the 'oh your poor daughter!'

a screenshot from the music video from Flavor Foley's song "Ego Renegade Boy" showing the chalk outline of a body with a splatter of hot pink 'blood' over where the waist/female reproductive system would be

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

taking a break from pixelart to make one of those barotrauma sketches into a full illustration ! going well so far but wow I really never do full rendering and it shows :// #wip

000

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Kamma's full design sketch and the first version of his pixel sprite! Now I just have to make all the other directions too :'))

a flat colored sketch of a goblin mage character, Kamma. It also shows his color pallete (blues and purples) as well as his name and a small note that says "he is a grown man"

a flat colored pixelart of a character sprite for rpgmaker of the same goblin character.

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

presenting the designs for urbek and kamma! A half-troll and goblin duo doing research on rare magical creatures. In my little rpgmaker game I'm making, you play as kamma (the goblin) and solve puzzles to learn about the dryad you're trying to find.

020

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

barotrauma (the game) still on my mind and I've been meaning to do some lighting practice forever so... why not both? these three are my favorite creatures in the game but honorary mention to mudraptors and ballast flora too :DD

a 3x3 grid of digitally painted thumbnails for illustrations, all with dramatic lighting. all are of creatures from the game barotrauma. the top three focus on the watcher, the middle three on different variants of the husk, and the bottom three are two of the charybdis with the third being a quick doodle of it that says "ran out of time"
