#ArtFight2025 attacks for @progcione.bsky.social of the cormorant sailor Esther Earendel, for artfight.net/~killwizard2... / @jakemorris.bsky.social s of Sheriff Hawkmoth and Huck Bristlecone, and for artfight.net/~mg549 of the deep-sea mermaid Re-Bek #ArtFight find me here: artfight.net/~Byona

Illustration by Byona (OP) of a character named Easter Earendel by Pr0gcione. She is an anthropomorphic cormorant with natural black feathers except for a yellow and orange compass rose-like marking on her left wing, and for a yellow mask-like marking around her eyes that continues into her yellow and orange beak. She's wearing a blue flat sailor hat, round purple glasses and a blue sailor coat with a golden anchor embossed in the neck. She's holding a large oar with silver decorations in her wings (which are hand-like) and has a wise peaceful expression, smiling with closed eyes. She's sitting on a wooden crate among a bunch of barrels on a ship on a very dreary misty background.

Illustration by Byona (OP) of two characters by killwizard2000/scrambledgreggs/Jake Morris. In the forefront is sheriff Hawkmoth, a highly stylized anthropomorphic moth with a bushy beard and bushy chest fur, whose wings form a poncho to which he has pinned his sheriff badge. He's wearing a tall cowboy hat, a belt, and pointy boots, and is resting on a bunch of baggage against his horse, which is normal-looking except for some buglike features (feathered antennas for ears and two sharp mandibles). They're resting in a desert night next to a fire. In the background lurks the second character, Huck Bristlecone, an anthropomorphic Western conifer seed bag whose wings are formed into a cool red cape. He's also wearing a red hat and holding a gun, looking sneaky and suspicious. The sheriff and the horse don't know he's there as they keep sleeping.

Illustration by Byona (OP) of the character Re-Bek by mg549. She uses she/they pronouns. She's a deep sea mermaid based on the Sloane's Viperfish. She has luminous green fin-like hair with dark streaks and glowing green eyes with black scleras, large fin-like ears and long sharp fangs in a very wide mouth. Behind her ears, her pinkish red gills are visible. Her skin is blue and gets darker towards her tail. On her chest and all the way down to the tip of her tail are two rows of luminous lime green spots, and on her back there's a long antenna-like organ that ends in another luminous lime green bulb. She's wearing a red tube-top around her chest and her left upper arm is decorated with an armlet made out of fallen teeth secured to the arm by a red sash. She has webbed hands and two fins on her wrists. She's smiling endearingly and petting a deep sea hatchetfish with large bulbous light blue eyes, several more hatchetfishes lining up behind it for their turn to be cherished. Swarms of little deep sea lanternfish are attracted to her lights.

First batch of #ArtFight attacks for 2025, feat. 70s big cat rockstar bandmates Les & Abby by @possessedopossum.bsky.social, desert witch/fish lady/motel owner Aunt Sandy by @iguanodont on tumblr, and the Constellation, based on the TMBG song of the same name, by @mojochessmaster.bsky.social

An illustration by Byona (OP) depicting two characters named Les Hammerton and Abby Gale, part of a fictional 70s band made out of anthropomorphic big cats and belonging to Possessed-Opossum. Les is a male anthropomorphic lion with a curly blonde mane, wearing no shirt and long red hippie-like pants with fringes. Abby is a female panther with a large afro wearing a red bandana on her head, tight dark red pants and a white tie-front crop top. Les is lying down dramatically on a torn-up green couch where several claw marks are visible, having a catlike tantrum. Abby is talking to him with a mildly annoyed look as if she's done with his whining.

An illustration by Byona (OP) depicting a character named Aunt Sandy belonging to tumblr user Iguanodon. She's a grey, elderly fish woman with wiry blonde hair, wearing bright summery clothes, including sunglasses, a wide violet sun-hat, a blue bikini top, and a green beach dress with sunflower print, as well as various pieces of jewellery. In the drawing, she's relaxing on a blue towel on the beach of a desert lake in a Death Valley-like environment, next to her wooden staff. A white boat can be seen in the near background. In the farther background, a large towering mountain-like creature looms over the horizon, standing over 4 thin legs, looking like a mirage.

Illustration by Byona depicting a character by mojochessmaster named The Constellation. He is based on a homonymous song by They Might Be Giants. He looks like the outline of a man wearing glasses, spiky hair and semi-formal clothing, drawn as lines connecting stars as in illustrations of IRL constellations. In the image he's relaxing with an arm behind his back and legs crossed, and it looks like he's lying against the scene's horizon. He's interacting with a little butterfly drawn in the same style as himself. It is nighttime and several other stars are visible. The landscape is mountainous and forested and a small lone car is seen driving through a winding road, all dwarfed by the size of the character.

Ok hold on, is it actually better to post images one by one if they're part of a set? Rather than as a thread? What's more accessible+readable?

First batch in a series of background assets I want to share: Doc's family paintings. There's a fifth one but I'll post that by itself cause it's a bit of an odd-one out. Their whole lineage is completely insane #lemondemon #nkotr

A painting of the wicked witch of the west from No Place Like Home holding a blue orb and looking down on the viewer

A painting of Mr. Basement from the Mr. Basement youtube skit, in a basement. He's holding a severed hand

A painting of Ryan Murphy in his pink floral outfit from Ryan Murphy's How To Cause a Traffic Accident, holding a hatchet and looking overall at least slightly insane.

A painting of Ryan from the New Kids on the Rock Skit "The Vigilante", wearing a pirate flag as a cape
