We forget we are not the largest things in our universe. #Inktober #Inktober2026 #inktoberMiniature #TinyHuman #Giant #AURORA Gonna go listen to more AURORA music cause now the feelings need to be felt 🎶🎵🎧🎵🎶

For this piece I was inspired less by what we as humans would call miniature and rather the fact that so many things around us leave us dwarfed in comparison. My mind fell to a story with an age of #giants #Digitalart #Proud I think the #wonder that came from this idea ultimately squished the terror I wanted to capture in the beginning. With that feeling of wonder I immediately thought of music by the artist AURORA So I'ma go listen to like every album again while I feel out these feelings

#Inktober #Inktober2026 #InktoberRelic #Mirror #Ghost Not as proud of this one but it was a quick piece so I could focus on other things today. I really wanna keep the simplicity up with each piece and also challenge myself like I did with perspective here (Not my finest but hey, improvement)

So this piece was a little more of a work in progress. I still don't feel a hundred precent about this one but I love the concept of the ghost in the mirror. I think tomorrows will be a little more fun but we'll see if I end up liking it as much as I like my idea for it.

#Inktober #Inktober2026 #Apple #Spiderweb #SharpTeeth #Fangs I'm start Inktober with a banger! Will they all be this good. Def no! But damn so I feel like I slayed with this one 🧛🕷️🕸️

Hello fellow Inktober fans. I present my piece for today in the spirit of drawing every day this month. Wish me luck as I wish you luck as well!

Today's piece was a concept I had from the first time I saw the list. Taking a big bite with some big teeth. Does my apple look more like a pomegranate? Yes, or at least I think so. But I don't care cause this piece was such a magical piece. Both a very beautiful design I wanted to make and a wonderful way to try out this new form of shading. It's cross hatching or at least hatching, I think. I'm not sure but I really love how it looks and it was a great experimentation in my style. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this spooky trend of style but this feels like such a killer start for me.

Looking forward to another fun year of Inktober. Can't wait to see the pieces for this prompt! Have a wonderful day and good luck tomorrow.

#Emoji #Hearteyes #Cutesy Last little #DigitalArt of the month before I dive into #Inktober Looking forward to another exciting month of spooky art <3🎃💀👻🖌️

With tomorrow being Inktober I'm gonna only post this gift I made for a friend. He wanted something he could emote in the server, and I was so excited to doodle this cute little peeking and loving gaze. Something we could share with each other whenever we really loved something but wanted to express it more quietly.

It was supposed to be animated, but every time I have tried to animate it it looks horrifying. So until I can make the eyes look all shimmery and cute like when an anime character is super excited, the still image will have to do.

Until tomorrow I look forward to beginning Inktober <3

#AngryPrincess #LittlePrincess #DigitalDoodle #BigCrown #Bejeweled I love how this doodle turned out. I've never felt prouder of a sketch honestly. Forcing myself to not fully render a piece has been an exerercise because I never feel like my work looks good like this. I feel like I'm growing <3

With my focus on simple doodles and expressive line art it's been a bit of a challenge to capture exactly one i have in mind. This one did not have that issue. Meet my angry little princess. Based on a combo of things from a line in a show I just finished watching and the little princess of my house, my Mom's cat.

With those two things in mind I went to work drawing a little princess in a dress far too big for her, pooling at her feet like a lake. Though that part is a bit hard to see given the angle I did. What is clear is her grumpy little face as she looks up at the unfortunate soul that has offended her for whatever reason.

I was pretty happy with it but didn't feel like she looked enough like a princess until I started adding the jewelry. What princess dosn't have at least some jewelry? Well I leaned pretty hard into that "I'm five years old and I wanna wear all the jewelry at once." Mind set we all had at one point or another. That made her look more like an angry little empress in my opinion. So bejeweled and elegant get clearly her crown is as big if not bigger than her head. Simply adorable. I need to do more like this. It helped to melt away the anxiety I've been feeling lately.

More #DigitalDoodles #Fishing #Chibi It kinda goes with the last one which was cute. Just trying to define my linework skills a little more. Also look at those little #BuckTeeth

This goes with my other digital sketch. Kinda. It isn't really the same character but it follows the same action. A study in shapes and practice in line consistency. Trying to also give a more three dimensional feel to a shadingless and colorless piece. I know it can be done but I'm not very good at it myself. The more I look at this one and the last one the more it reminds me of coloring books I used to play with as a kid. Not the same quality but the same feeling and intent to capture an image and leave the viewer to imagine the colors.

I don't know I just need to keep doodling little things to keep improving my hand stability and who knows maybe this focus on the fundamentals, no matter how none traditional I'm doing it, will work out too. Plus I've got Inktober ahead of me.

#Fishing #Doodle I made cause I'm not loving my art right now and I thought why not practice strictly line art for a bit

So I've been feeling kinda down about my art lately and this got me thinking on how to improve. One of the things I was most certain about is I wanted to start with fundamentals first.

Does this count as a fundamental study? I don't know but I thought if I could practice drawing clearer line work/shape language/etc without the use of shading or color then I'd feel better about my work. So here is gone fishing. I got the idea from my Animal Crossing New Horizons - Humanized Portraits. I saw CJ in the collection then decided to draw some fishing themed chibis.

Hopefully all these doodles will make my work more satisfying to me <3

#digitalArt #Witch #DarkMagic #ConceptArt I don't actually know if this counts as concept art but it's the first time in six years I've drawn my girl Jordis here. She's a fun character to me and goes with the #Prince I posted a bit ago.

So this is my first reconception of Jordis the witch character in the story with my princess Skylar. I'm still not sure what kind of conflict I'll ultimately have as the lead conflict in this story but I know Jordis is going to start of adversarial to the Princess before they start getting to know one another more.

Jordis needs to have a clear reason the be a witch and not a mage like the third girl who is key to this whole little love story. I'm just trying to remember all the things I didn't write down cause I was having fun with this story six years ago but not enough clear energy that could tell me what the conflict or the plot would be. Who knows maybe I'll just make a skilly comic of three fairytale women being in a fairytale world with vastly different roles. The Princess, the Witch, and the Mage. Yes I know those last two are interchangable but I still feel like Jordis and Alora will be different in their kinds of magic and how they approach it.

All and all I just wanted to play around with Jordis here and she looks pretty spooky so I love her. A great contrast for the two. But it'll probably be a bit before I figure out the third. But once I do I'll probably do a group shot <3

#crochet #snowflake #homemade Making #ornaments for my family as #gifts for when I go to visit them. Feeling pretty proud of my progress with this new project ❄️ 💙

Not my usual posting style but I have been working on these for a couple of days now and am feeling pretty proud. I plan to soak them in glue distilled water to stiffen them up and make ornaments for my family.

It's a small project but since I'm having a rough week it's been a little slice of pride. Hoping to get to some more art soon but for now I'm meeting myself where I'm at

#Portrait #NewbieDM #Deity #GodofKnowledge The second Portrait in my collection for my three god pantheon. Li-U is a god of Merchants, Travelers, and Knowledge. I designed him off a Cuttlefish despite him being a Genie. I think making him less human was an important part of his design.

This is the second part of my two part post of three gods I made for my DnD campaign. With it being set in a world of my making I decided I'd give myself a few set gods of my own creation. Gods that will be simple enough in concept that I can make them work in any form and need. I also wanted to keep my pantheon small. Three to five tops. I made three base gods with space for two more if my players felt the need for something outside of the bounds of these three.

Li-U is a Water Genie, I decided to give them the head of a cuttlefish because they are able to camofloge much like water genie's can change their colors. They are also known as very intelligent creatures and that felt important for a God of Knowlegde, Travel, and Trade. Yes Li-U is quite the fountain of knowledge and quite the unique appearanced as at least the Celestial God Grunak and the Fae Goddess Veshlan are much more humanoid in their appearance. I felt having a more unique outlier would be fun and suitable. Especially since I plan of Demons, Genasi , and Tieflings also having these more odd quialities of being more animal hybridish.

Not everyone needs to be a sexy guy or hot woman. Most people are gonna be normal or weird and I want that as a world built from creatures of other plains of existance coming together to find a peaceful life.

I am starting to doubt there will be much happening with these gods but that's why I'm not gonna put too much energy into them. The point of the game is to have fun and I can only hope I make a table where my friends can have as much fun saving the world as they want.

#Portrait #DnD #DnDDeity #Gods #Pantheon #Celestial #Wings #Glowinghair #AltTextDesctipion This is a portrait of one of the three dieties of my first Campaign as the Dm. Each head of the pantheon is a differnet race. Grunak is a Celestial and the god of Power, Justice, and War.

With my campaign being set in a world of my making I decided I'd give myself a few set gods of my own creation. Gods that will be simple enough in concept that I can make them work in any form and need. I also wanted to keep my pantheon small. Three to five tops. I made three base gods with space for two more if my players feel the need for something outside of the bounds of these three.

Grunak is a Celestial entitity worshipped as a God of Justice, Power, and War. He is worshipped as a war god for his connection to the great battles against the demonic forces of the world. The Fiends that used power to subjigate the mortals of Runtuth. The people who prayed to Grunak sought protection and holy light to heal them. In the forty years of peace and still he's seen as a guiding light of the kingdom and her people.

#Princess #OC #OldOC #FinishedArtwork #FinishedWiP She turned out so pretty. I wanna make more princesses but I don't know how I want to draw them. I'm already really loving my practice in drawing faces for NPCs but making a finished artwork feels even better

I really love how this turned out in the end. Princess Skylar (Name change possible) is the radiant beauty I pictured in my head. A princess with magically perfect hair, eyes that shine like gem stones, and the ever perfect wardrobe that makes her look like a painting of the sky. (Or at least thats how I think all that fall under her curse's spell see her. She's still very beautiful, but I wanted to play with her issues a bit. A blessing to be beloved turning into a curse to be treated like a beautiful creature and not a human being. Add the duties of being a perfect princess, and I think she'd be a compelling lead. Mix in the brilliant mage, she calls her best friend and the witch she will be trying to befriend after a small curse made her feel human for a day, and I think I could have some fun.

The more I think about all the things this concept feels like so far is the movie Charming, the book/movie Ella Enchanted, and a mix of some kids shows I can't remember the names of off the top of my head. All and all, I just wanna make some more art right now.

#NPCArt #Princess #DnD #Dragonborn #AcidDragon NPC I made for a one-shot I made. #NewbieDM Just trying to get myself ready for a campaign I feel so unprepared for while still trying to get us together to play unti it starts. #AltText for the full story <3

So I had my players explore a one shot in which the party had to save the princess from a wizard's tower. It was my first time DMing in a while and my first time actively planning for combat.

I massively tripped my self at many turns and I'm not very good at handling my own failings. But now I'm learning from my mistakes. Next time I'll be more clear to my players. I'll keep working on describing areas better. I'll try and be more clear and consistant with my scene building as a DM.

But I also had some very good wins that I had to remind myself of that night. I realized my failing in understanding the CR of the monsters I selected and how it would go against my players. I quickly shifted the tides of battle so they wouldn't die in the first fight of the night.

The second place I am proud of my handling was whenI left them clues for the first and only puzzle I had in the tower but it no one went to explore anywhere to find clues even after finding the sliding block puzzle. Since I knew they weren't going to go searching. So I improved my descriptions and showed them how moving the blocks would change the way the staircases positioned.

Do I have room for improvement? 100%. But every single step I take will make me stronger as a DM and as a person. I love that I can make these NPCs, storylines, and even put together the soundtracks for the special moments. Here's hoping I keep improving

#WiP #ArtWip #DigitalArt I know it looks pretty finished with the shading an all but it's gonna get better. I had so much fun drawing an #OldOC from holy cow 6 years ago. #Princess Skylar (May change her name to suit the story better was a fun character before and fun to draw now

I'm forcing myself to pay attention to an old story idea. A story about a princess in a fairytale world who can't seem to find someone she loves romantically despite being deeply desired by many. I haven't played with this idea in a while, but I loved the idea of writing a low-stakes romance. I never got very far, but this time I'm gonna try to force the issue. The first thing I usually while thinking about stories is I draw the characters. This is my first attempt at drawing my princess here since I'd say 2022. I feel like my art has really improved cause I can vaguely remember a drawing of her and her future wife. Yes, it's Sapphic and a little enemies to lovers. I'll get more into it in later drawings cause I was finish this and hopefully get some artwork made of her two co-leads who will be helping her come to terms with whatever her path is to have the happily ever after she's been told was her destiny as a princess.

#ACNH #Humaniztion #CharacterPortrait Still enjoying my cute little doodles of Animal Crossing characters as humans. Some just haven't turned out but Cally the squirrel did <3

So I'm not quite rolling for these but I am randomizing the characters I draw. This time it's Cally the Squirrel. She was so gosh darn cute and drawing her was a blast. Using these cute little humanization practices have been really great for my character design study and preparation for making portraits I can use for my DnD NPCs.

I threw Cally here in an outfit from her favorite gifts catagory and really loved drawing cute little curly locks of hair for her. The tail addition was more so she looked like a squirrel since I have had some issues with some of my humizations with them looking like a completely different type of critter.

#DnD #TTRPG #NPC #Kingly #Portrait I'm making things for my campaign still. Like portraits for key characters. The king is one of them. I needed to see what he looked like before I made the Princess cause she's supposed to be a combo of her parents Though I'm tempted to just do whatever I want :P

This is the king I have planned for the kingdom in my DnD campaign. He's a former hero of the land who slew the Demon King (Yes I know so original) He didn't do this feat alone but I still haven't drawn the Witch Prince Eren in any helpful manner beyond concepting.

Still King Joseph will be an important character as he's a testimate to much of the kingdom's history being the grand hero and all that began the forty years of peace.

I had fun making this portrait and if you like this kind of art and are interested in getting something like this made for your characters or someone you know is looking for some character art. Go check out my Ko-Fi commissions, especially the portraits found here https://ko-fi.com/c/c2b7372733

#OCPortrait #Mommy #WoDCharacter #HuntertheReckoning This Oc was so much fun to design a portrait for my friend's #WorldofDarkness setting. she's a hunter and I want her to be hunting a fellow hunter cause he's gone mad. #AltText for more info <3

This character was made for a little roleplay idea I had. I still haven't gotten to use her, but she's been such a fun character to come up with that I was so excited to draw her. Her name is Jordyn, and she is a hunter. She's also a bit of a working woman to give her a bit of income outside the hunting and as a way to be out in the night to catch the monsters.

I made her in mind with a friend of mine's character. He's a werewolf and a fighter type. I thought her character would get along well with a strong-willed personality. Jordyn was a result of that thought process. Someone with enough fight in her to go toe to toe with a were-creature and who she needs someone strong enough to keep up with her on her quest to protect area from a rogue hunter who's getting a bit murder happy.

I'm looking forward to the story we tell together whenever that ends up happening.

#MyOcs #MyStory #Scene #Family This is my protagonist in one of my #WiPs Nadia with her Aunt Vanessa. Nessa is a very dear person to Nadia and lookig back in the story at their relationship is something I enjoyed doing for this #Art I made

With my memories of this work being refreshed as I was working on a collaborative project that uses my little Nadia for practice. The more I thought on her childhood and all the things she loved the more I thought about her beloved aunt Vanessa. Memories of times beneath the willow tree. Listening to stories, talking about Nadia's dreams of being a hero.

I want to draw a piece with the two that doesn't leave Nessa so obscured but I also love this way of shwoing her because she's not alive in the narritave. Yet still she's present, a haunting force upon the people who loved and cherished her.

I hope to do more work on this story as well as artwork of my babies <3

With my first #DnD Campaign I'm making #NPCs to guide the party. Blossom is a #Tiefling Wizard and I love her dearly and hope my players will love her too.

I've been working on some stuff for my first ever campaign. Mostly preparing things to get my party started and let them build their portion of the world. But I am not leaving the worldbuilding or NPC ideas completely to them.

For example this is Blossom, She's my tiefling Wizard charatcer who I hope will be an interesting guide to the party as they begin to face the bigger threats of my world. She won't be aiding them much and I aim for her to be a sort of Gandulf character who is leading them where they need to be or connecting them to important NPCs they may not know otherwise. This is assuming they take any note or interest in her at all. But regardless she will be around if they need a little in character guidance.

I haven't really fleshed out much of her beyond the connections she has to the bigger plots of the story and I think that is a good thing because she needs to let them be the heroes.

I am so scared to be a DM but on the bright side I will be doing this with friends who can give me guidance. I just wish I'd had a little more experience playing the game for fun and not being a manager for a campaign I was a player for.

#AnimalCrossingNewHorizons #ACNH This is Twiggy but #Humanized I think my Birdie Bestie looks the most adorable like this and it has been a really relaxing exercise to draw the Villagers as humans to see what I come up with <3

This was an exercise and a relaxing practice. My inspiration was my practice in turning my Animal Crossing New Horizon islanders into humans for my island on Tomodachi living the dream. Twiggy turned out so cute in her human form I kept decided to draw her in my style. She's one of my favorite villagers in both islands and I adore giving her cute pink clothes and seeing all the ways she changes into them with the fashionista trait.

She's not the only one I've done this too. I've got all my islanders from animalcrossing turned human so I might do more of these to relax myself and experiment with more designs. Plus they are just so darn cute <3 >:3

#BirthdayGiftArt #Bookcharacter #DreamsOfaButterfly I made fanart for my friend's book bfor her birthday which was during Artfight. I'm finally getting a chance to share it on my socials though so yay!

So this was made during artfight but it wasn't for artfight. It was for my friend Tabitha Angel. She's an author of two books and she's work working on the third. This is Mina the female lead of said books. I decided for Tabi's birthday I'd draw whatever character she wanted me to if she had a preference. She had none so I picked Mina cause I adore her and all her fiery passion and sassy attiude. Despite this I wanted to draw her a little more calmly.

The first book in the series is called Dreams of a Butterfly. Butterfly is the common naming scheme of the whole series and so I drew her amongst many butterflies. I'm glad she loved it so much and according to her I'm the first one you make fanart for the series so I feel especially glad I made it.

#ArtfightReport #TeamComedy With the results finally in I was reminded I never finished posting my report card. So here is my first year report. I'm really proud of myself and all I did and hope to have just as great a year next year. Thank you for the fun Artfight everyone! <3

Saw this on either the Artfight Reddit or the Artists I follow on Bluesky. I loved the idea of having my own summary of the end of artfight so I took the template and made my own.

First attack was also one of my most time consuming because I had to animate it but I didn't have exact timing for any of my work so I decided to focus on another one that I was more sure of how long it took me.

I had four favorite attacks and three of them are on this summary but I chose this piece because it was one of my favorites that wouldn't fall into any other catagory and it also was the first piece I felt super proud of.

My last attack was part of my lightning round of portraits and I was pretty proud of it. Not one of my top four but it was a chacaracter I'd been looking at the whole month wanting to draw.

The Longest and shortest time pieces were two of my favorites. I loved the vibrate energy they each came with and the first one felt like a painting to me. I loved that about them both and ultimately thats why they are in my top four.

Least points was part of my lightning round. Granted it was least points because I accidently under represented how much of the character was showing. I thought it was just a bust piece but by Artfight standards it would have been a half body. Still I feel like it desereved the lesser amount because it wasn't anything spectacular. I still love it but not as much as others.

Most points was actually surprisingly one of my least favorites of the event. Mostly because it was one I had to redo multiple times and still didn't love. It felt like so much work for so little energy compared to some of my favorites.

@antivanravenqueen.bsky.social You've seen it but of course I wanna finish sharing all my #ArtFightAttacks this one was a lot of fun and I really loved this character hence he was brought to the lightning round. Looking forward to next year <3

This was my last attack of artfight. I had been aiming to do three more after him but I got burned out by that point so I didn't reach my goal of 25 attacks. Still I was pretty proud of this piece even if it wasn't my favorite. I loved all the fun of his hair and the beard. Forcing myself to draw men was an important part of this year's goal and Zahir Luterius by TallyOh.

He has this fighter energy that reminded me of Denken from Frieren. Specifically in that one scene during the first trial. So that is exactly what I themed this piece around. I'm glad TallyOh liked the work and look forward to my next artfight in 2027

Thank you to everyone who attacked me and who likes this pieces. Have a wonderful day

#ArtfightAttack #LightningRound #Portrait This is is Vena a #Elf #Werebear character belonging to someone who isn't on Bluesky. Still I freaking loved drawing him. I was so dertermined to draw a character like one of mine so Vena was one of my last. This was a wonderful year to join <3

One of the last pieces I wanted to make for artfight was for one of the first people I saved in my bookmarks. This is Vena Meradi. He's an elf turned werebear who belongs to the artist `wwwmikeyxyz`

The reason I found this character at all is because of the werebear tag which I'd followed after posting my own werebear character to see how many others there were. During Artfight I had such a long list of characters saved I had set a rule for myself that if I didn't know who to draw I'd roll a random number generator and it never got far enough to the back to grab him. Still I was not going to end the season without drawing him and I'm so glad I did. He turned out so cute!

Hopefully next year I'll be a little better about getting to those on my list in the far back but one thing is for certain I had a great first year.

#ArfightAttack Yes I'm still posting these! I made a bunch in the last 72 hours and I'm taking my time to post them. #Portrait #Art was the focus of my lightning round and this one is one of my favorites.

Another one from the lightning round and personally one of my top three favorites from it. Something about this piece just spoke to me. The character is probably one of the simplest in design and description and it's to her benefit because she was this clear feeling. I looked at June here in her reference photos and just knew I wanted to draw her among the flowers.

But as you know this was the lightning round which meant no beautiful scene of her surrounded by a towering field of sunflowers like I wanted to. No this had to be a simple and clean portrait that still showed her connection to the beautiful bright blooms. So I got to work and I'm so proud of how it turned out. She's as radiant as a sunflower and as delicate as a tulip and that makes me feel so proud of my work. So much so she's joining my porfolio cause I can't hide her away in just the featured and artfight folders. She needs to be seen everywhere.

If you love this design as much as I loved making it. Maybe you want something like this for youself? If so I have my commissions open on Ko-fi for portraits, scenes, and character sheets. Please go check it out if you are interested and thank you all for all the love you show my art <3

@kayechidraws.bsky.social You've seen this but I wanna share with others too. This is Kayechi's adorable #Fairy #Warlock Aster WillowBranch. I had such a fun time drawing her and love her so much. Wishing her a better #lovelife than my warlock <3

You guys are gonna probably be dealing with these posts for at least a few weeks cause I don't plan on breaking my posting schedule too much if at all even in the catch up. Though who know's maybe I'll force the issue because I wanna get to show you newer things.

This is another attack I did in my 72 hour lightning round for artfight. Every single character I drew for the lightning round and a hold on me in a way that I couldn't see ending the event without drawing them. This is Aster Willowbranch who belongs to KayeChi who I found via Bluesky (Which seems to be the place I find most of the artists I attacks. That and Tiktok)

Aster is a warlock who has a massive crush on her patron and I knew I had to draw her from those facts alone. That and my massive love of fairies. I didn't have the time to focus on a full scene like I would have loved but just getting to draw her at all was a delight. I especially loved working on her hair which seems to be my favorite part of any of my drawings.

This portrait was such a fun piece to draw and I'm so gonna miss Artfight now that it's over. But that does also open me up to my new goal. Opening my commissions over on Ko-Fi. I have plenty of options I've made for preset plans but I'm also open to a freestyle piece where we workout the best process for you. So If you want art made in my style for you or a loved one, please go check it out at this link.

Thank you to everyone for liking my art and reading this far. Have a wonderful day <3

@tevansart.bsky.social You've already seen it but I am presenting to the world my protrait from Artfight of you're little guy Kik. #Artfight might be over but me posting the art I made in the last 72 hours of it will keep going until I've posted them all!

This was part of my lightning round in the last few days of artfight and though it's over I'm still gonna just share these over time while I recover from the slight burnout I have myself in the last 72 hours of Artfight T0T

This is Kik "Fix" Stokes A fire Goblin character by the artist Tevans who I follow on Bluesky cause their style and character design is just so good. Kik is this capable little engineer of magical machines and prolific little prankster. I read those traits and knew instantly the portrait was gonna have this snickering little Goblin "Teehee" or more accurately a KuKuKu/Kekeke

I loved an excuse to draw this character and think it and the rest of the attacks I made in portrait form are great practice and examples of my skill

With Artfight over I will be opening up my commissions to the public so if you want art like anything I made during Artfight or if you want something completely different you have in mind you can commission me over on my Ko-fi
https://ko-fi.com/hearthkore

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful artfight and I look forward to seeing you in the next post

@hortensjjja.bsky.social Be attacked by artwork you beautiful artist you! With the last days of #artfight upon us I've been having a bit of a lightning round of drawing as many characters from my bookmarks as possible. Eshmara was one such character I couldn't resist <3

I said the last post was my last Artfight attack but Mwahha ha I lied! Sort of. I was still itching for the last few days to draw more of the characters that were on my list. I'd only gotten 15 drawings made and there were still like 60 characters in my bookmark collection.

One such character was Eshmara who is a type of being like a dryad but more root based from what I understand. She was such an elegant beauty that she looks like something out of a painting to me. So I made my own version. I wanted her to feel like an old oil painting in a noble's estate. Something timeless and elegant.

There are several more to come so even though artfight ends tomorrow there will be more artfight for me to share <3

This is probably gonna be my last #Artfight attack of the month and I'm pretty darn proud of it. #Snakeman #Cuddles #Drow #DnDCharacters #ArtfightAttack @commander-inky.bsky.social I am so glad you and your friend liked the piece and thank you again for the art you made for me <3

This one turned out pretty cute and I'm so porud of my progress with artfight this year. I made so many pieces and I got to interact with so many wondeful artists. Commander-Inky and their friend Tatos are the creators of these two beautiful boys. They have a complicated relationship but I just really wanted to draw something cutesy so the cuddles were a must.

This is probably my last artfight attack of the year but Thank you again to everyone who has joined me on this journey. I look forward to showing more of my art skills through the rest of the year and hopefully make more art for people too.

Please feel free to reach out if you're curious about my art. I love to talk to people about my fandoms, my projects, and my ability to make art for others. Have a good rest of your day and see you soon! <3

@artbyalp.bsky.social I know you have already seen it but Be attacked by art you beautiful artist you! I've really loved my first year of #Artfight so thank you to everyone for a wonderful first year and I look forward to next year #TeamComedy #ArtFightAttack #Illustration #ArtFight2026

Finally got to one of the first people on my list to attack for my first artfight. @artbyalp , We've been favoriting each other's TikToks for not very long and I've loved your style so I'm so happy to be drawing one of your characters.

A part of me is glad a held off a bit though as it gave me a chance to see which characters in your collection were more favored for attacks so I could so some love to one of the lesser appreciated ones. That's how I fell upon Sel here.

With the vibe described as "overgrown houseplants, half-finished tea gone cold, fogged glass" I knew I wanted a balcony scene in the early morning or just at sunset for that feeling of warmth and magical light upon isolated balcony scene. I was so caught up in this idea that even when I had no power and thus couldn't start it digitally as a have most of my attacks this year. I took to my sketchbook and began doodling drafts because it had to be done!

I also had this song on repeat while drawing it and I feel it really added to the feeling of the piece. https://open.spotify.com/track/612bl0KHzyyxEhPzuMqM6e?si=6kmXN3SdQSCLINUkVcUJNQ

For those not interested in using Spotify it is "Golden Brown" The slowed down version by The Stranglers. It feels kind of melancholic and reverent and I feel that suits this solitary piece.

And another attack upon thee #TeamTragedy unfortunately I can't tag the wonderful artist who made I drew this for but I loved how cute she turned out #DnDCharacter #DnDOC #Artfight #Artfight2026 #Purplehair #cutesyart Go #TeamComedy <3

This character really caught my eye. I loved her pink and purple hues. The stripes and spots.But what I especially loved was the hair. In the original reference it is more tied back and very cute but the creator explained that when it's not tied back it's very big and poofy. I latched onto that so much.

I wanted this cozy morning feeling fresh from waking up. And a hair that poofed out like gorgeous purple cloud. I had drafted out a comfy bed and everything only for the hair to just hide any details I wanted to draw to show the scene. Ultimately I prefer it that way though because it makes it and her the center of all attention.

I hope Corviday loves this cute little portrait. Also I want to mention I had this made and before they attacked me and I'm so grateful that we attacked each other <3

#ArtfightAttack #NotMyOC #TeamComedy #Artfight2026 #amongus Made these two together because I just loved the idea of drawing this sort of banner style depiction of them together. Kinda like you'd see RP channels back in the Minecraft RP days of YouTube frame their character.

The creator of these two characters goes by MikaellaPe Go check her out she seemed super sweet.

@lirabeeart.bsky.social I present an attack upon thee!~ #DnDCharacter #Artfight #Tiefling #lighning #Sorceress Hope you love seeing your character in as much glory as I could manage of her <3

With another day comes another attack. I've been so inspired by every character I've seen and made this month and this one is no different.

I adore Roanne's story of perseverance and growth. Her kickass energy that screamed for me to call her a queen. I wanted her to be a testimate to the story that her creator told in the bio. A story about a girl who had her life destroyed by mindflayers and as she grew in age and power decided her calling was to protect others from that exact same threat that darkened her life.

I'm so proud of this piece and am so excited to get to do more. The only thing I'm sad about is how close we are to the end of ArtFight. But I know I'll just use that end as a new beginning for myself and can't wait to see what others do as well.

Happy ArtFight everyone!

#artfightAttack #Dragonborn #DnDOC #Barbarian #Fireinferno #SharpTeeth #Horns #Artfight2026 This is my second #ArtightRevenge This is for Galley_Alley and I loved their art so much so I hope they love what I made of their Barbarian Axel too <3 #TeamComedy

This one was already on my list but I was fueled by revenge to make this one as epic as possible! Axel is such a great design for a barbarian and him having hair let me play into my favorite trait to do with barbarians. The puffed up cat hair! I do not know what it is about the two barbarians I have drawn but the feral hissing cat energy with poofy hair just feels right. I think it adds to the menace!

The flames in the background were inspired by him being a fire based dragonborn and used techniques I've learned since one of my favorite pieces back in inktober last year. All and all this piece is a favorite of mine even if I really wanted to give them a two person masterpiece like they gave me. I feel this single a great reference for a party of how scary your team barbarian can be!

Hope its loved by Gally_Alley as much as I loved making it <3

#ArtFightAttack #Mermaid #Underwater #Fantasyart #TeamComedy I made this attack of a fellow Comedy member's mermaid character named Kai and I loved making this so much and hope they love it as much as I loved making it.

I present my latest Artight Attack! This was for someone I follow on TikTok. They go by Bread_Lord on artfight. We're actually on the same team but I just really wanna attack everyone and I refuse to back down!

Kai was such a pretty character. In both her human and mermaid form. But I draw gorgeous women and fem presenting all the time so I decided full mermaid was the way to go because I wanted to practice making the body and fins feel real. Or as real as my style gets.

plus the underwater vibe just slays. I drew her on a brain coral surrounded by other corals (I don't have the name, I'm not very marine knowledgeable.)

Regardless I loved making this and hope Bread_Lord loves it too <3

#DnD #DrowOC #Artfight2026 #Jellyfish #TeamComedy Had way too much fun hyper-fixating on this character, Mally and her hyper-fixation with jellyfish. I loved making this and I look forward to my next attack and also to opening my commissions up next month so I can draw more characters <3

I fell in love with this DnD Character named Malstra Pane. She's a College of Lore Bard and she's just freaking adorable. I really wanted to do something fun with her lore, but instead, I just hyper-fixated on her love of jellyfish and the line

"She probably die of happiness if taken to an aquarium to see all the marine life." in her bio

I loved making this and I hope her creator loved the art I made just as much as I loved making it.

I'm so excited to do more attacks this month. I'm also gonna state this here and as frequently as I can. My commissions will be open next month when ArtFight ends.

@caiacroft.bsky.social Take that you wonderful artist you! Be attacked with the cozy morning of a kickass character! 😈 #ArtFight #ArtFightAttack #NotMyOC #CozyArt

This character is a major badass. No magical abilities just pure human spirit and determination in the face of a magical threat. I could have played into that fact and made this epic gun fight or something. But I fell in love with a single character detail.

"Enjoys playing brain games (sudoku,etc)"

That one line was like a switch in my brain and there was no tearing me away from what I wanted for this piece. A cozy morning with a plate of finished breakfast, a cup of hot tea or coffee, and a newspaper flipped to all the different puzzles. Nothing felt more perfect than that. A moment of peace for a character who must deal with so much.

I hope that CaiaCroft loves this as much as I loved making it. Happy Art Fight everyone and GO Team comedy!

@dancersamchika.bsky.social I present you with your beautiful singer baby! I had so much fun drawing them and making them look like the star they are <3 #artfight #ArtfightAttack #TeamComedy #StarPower

So I thought about doing this super cute chibi thing with this character but the more I read his Bio and looked at him I really wanted to push myself to so something show stopping. So I put together a great composition and had everything drawn out.

We'll ignore the fact I had to completely redraw it cause my proportions were very off for the angle.

All and all I've just been falling in love with all the characters I've been drawing for artfight and this sweet little bean is one of them. I hope his creator loves this as much as I loved making it <3

Go team Comedy!

This piece is for an artist who is a fellow writer. We're actually in a group together and I consider us friends. So I was itching to draw something for them. Making this was so much fun after reading through the information on them both.

I really hope my friend likes it and I'm planning my next attack as we speak! Happy Artfight everyone!

#Arfight #ArtiFightAttack #DragonbornOC #DnD #Butterfly #TeamComedy I had way too much fun stepping out of my usual comfort zone for this piece. I love how Gieva looks and I hope her player loves my work too <3

There is no ounce of this character I don't find stunning. She is such a magical design and I was so scared I wouldn't do her justice but there was no holding back I had top draw her.

Gieva the dragonborn Druid is such a delightful character. she gives this soft quiet vibe that made me think even if she wasn't a druid. animals and insects would just go to her like a disney princess.

That is where I got the idea for her to be crunched down amongst the brush of the wilderness and for this magical butterfly to just have chosen her as its perch.

I really hope you like it Felidre <3
