Another Revenge! This time @ghostrat.bsky.social's Taati. I could not resist taking a whack at that gorgeous iridescent skin! #artfight #artfight2026 #teammystery #artsky #ocsky
A full figured elven woman with iridescent skin, stands singing, eyes closed and arms outstretched. She wears black garb and veil with gilded accents.  Magic swirls around her.

Bust illustration of Strahd von Zarovich, infamous Count of Barovia. He's walking on a battlefield, clad in green flames, a smug expression on his face. Strahd appears as a 40-something man, but is in fact a vampire, with pale skin and dark hair. He wear a rich vest with armor and fur.

A part of me is terrified for this journey, game audiences are harsh and pull some of the smallest things down. But then I remember my games will probably never interest a greater sphere. I hope it can find the right audience who gets to simply enjoy it someday.
