artfight attacks FINAL ROUND: hehe wings :) 🦴 Azarie belongs to Allen_Harpen on AF 🦴 Calliope belongs to @noxhiemis.bsky.social

A digital illustration of Azarie, a humanoid with light brown skin, pointed ears, and shoulder-length white hair. He has massive peregrine falcon wings, the feathers dark gray and barred with a lighter brown, as well as a long tail tipped by a fan of matching feathers. His right wing is folded, while the left is partially extended away from him. Beneath them his clothing – a blue tunic, black shirt, and open-sided white trousers – are visible. He is drawn from behind, looking out at a sky tinged bright orange with twilight, as he stands in a field of tall grass with a wooden staff clutched in his hands. A black-faced sheep with fluffy white wool stands beside him, looking in the same direction. The artist’s signature sits at bottom center, dated JULY 2025.

A digital illustration of Calliope, a siren woman, against a pale red background. She has pale skin, red markings around her eyes and very long hair that fades from light gray to nearly black; she also has the long wings, legs, and feet of an osprey, also in shades of gray. She is mid-dance; her face has a peaceful expression with eyes closed, her wings and arms are fully extended to the sides, and one leg is folded upwards into the fabric of her white chiton. In one hand she holds a golden lyre. The artist’s signature sits at bottom center, dated JULY 2025.

artfight attacks round 2!!! 🦴Marcy belongs to @sunshineara5.bsky.social 🦴 Willow belongs to insertpunhere on AF 🦴 Null belongs to friskyrisky on AF

A digital illustration of Marcy, a humanoid young woman, against a blue background. She has pale skin and black hair, with a longer wave of electric blue hair emerging from beneath it; one of her eyes matched this blue, while the other is solid white crystal. She wears a black ruffled skirt, black combat boots, and a black tank top over a sheer, wide-sleeved indigo shirt; she also has a silver belt and several matching chains hanging at her waist. She stands posed with one hand on her hip and the other pointing a thumb at herself, and smiling at the viewer. Above her head is a little glowing icon of devil horns and a halo of little glowing rays. The artist’s signature sits at bottom center, dated JULY 2025.

A digital illustration of Willow, a young vampire woman who looks outwardly human; she has pale skin and light blond hair with faded blue dye at the tips, and wears a jacket patterned with little trefoil shapes over a dark blue striped shirt, and lighter blue striped pants. Willow is cast in dark blue shadow, lit from above in yellow; she looks up with an expression of wonder. The background is composed of segments of Art Deco-styled motifs in bright yellows and oranges and very deep blue; some segments evoke the appearance of the windows of a skyscraper, while others use repeating patterns of chevrons and dots. They radiate outwards from her like a full-body halo. The artist’s signature sits at bottom left, dated JULY 2025.

AF attack posting time!!!! in round 1 we’ve got: 🦴 Desmond and Delilah for Somber on AF 🦴 Daffodil for @insomniahyena.bsky.social!!

A digital illustration of two spinxyn, Delilah and Desmond, against a mauve purple background. They are sphynx-like with human faces and catlike quadrupedal bodies. Delilah is very small, with fluffy purple fur and wings resembling a dragontail butterfly’s around her eyes and back; her back feet are clawed. She butts up against Desmond’s forehead, looking up at him adoringly. Desmond is very large and mostly unfurred, his skin covered in tattoos of barbed wire, celestial bodies, and thick black bands; his back feet are green-painted hooves, and he has a matching green horn on his forehead and small black wings around his head, legs, and tail. He sits on the ground, bent over to meet Delilah’s headbutt with a gentle smile. A chunky yellow starburst sits behind the place where their heads meet. The artist’s signature sits bottom center, dated JULY 2025.

A digital illustration of Daffodil, an android with an extremely large and powerful build, clawed hands and feet, and small horns; she has light skin and a long mane of auburn hair, and teal plating on her arms and legs that matches the color of her horns and claws. A long mechanical tail tipped with a grasping arm extends behind her. Daffodil sits in a grassy meadow, wearing a red sundress; her fingers delicately weave together a flower crown of black-eyed susans. A derelict warehouse is visible behind her, its walls overgrown with greenery, and in the distance a forest is visible. The artist’s signature sits at bottom right, dated JULY 2025.

artfight is imminent, so here’s where to find me!!

an Art Fight intro card for Team Fossils. my username is killldeer, and both the “friendly fire” and “revenge” boxes are checked; the “I attack…” box lists anything bug-related; troll OC’s; things with wings; and YOU. I have human and monster-ish characters, and have also added fantrolls in the “other” box. The featured characters are Pella, a person with light brown skin and red-brown hair; Kirxes, a young man with pale skin and very dark long hair; Kell, a red tiefling with white vitiligo and insect horns; Sam, a man with sunburned skin and extremely long blond hair; and Kaanon, an indigo-blooded fantroll with long floppy ears.

thinking so hard about these two and their arcs during book 7. i miss them

A small ink drawing of Mat Cauthon from the Wheel of Time series, drawn from the knees up and colored with mildliner markers. He is a lanky young man with light brown skin and very dark wavy brown hair, which reaches nearly to his shoulders. He is standing with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a polearm engraved with birds, looking to the right with a small smile. Mat wears a wide-brimmed black hat, a dark green coat over a plain shirt and pants, and a black scarf; a medallion depicting a fox’s head hangs around his neck. He is lit from one side by a reddish light.

A small ink drawing of Nynaeve al’Meara from the Wheel of Time series, drawn from the knees up and colored with mildliner markers. She is a woman with narrow frame, light brown skin, and darker brown hair in a very long braid, which she holds with one hand as she looks to the left with a concerned expression, her body turned the other way and her arms crossed. She wears a short-sleeved blue dress; a large gold ring sits on a chain around her neck, and a satchel and a sheathed knife hang at her waist. She is lit from one side by a bright yellow light.

ooo it might be time for another dragon reborn squad redraw. it’s been ~2.5 years since the first one, which was itself abt 2.5 years after i made the original art. i was also still posting mostly to twitter at the time, so it would be good to get some wheel of time art up on here and on tumblr :0

happy tenth birthday to my favorite nocturnal goofballs :)

a digital lineup of four original glowans, a homestuck fanspecies with different numbers of pupils in their eyes, white skin and glowing orbs at the ends of antennae and long tails which are tinted by a unique primary blood color, and hair and tail fur tinted a unique secondary color. On the left is Aeros, an eight-pupiled glowan with an electric green primary color and short, curly indigo hair; she looks up at Kyyri, a two-pupiled glowan with a cyan primary, antennae that curl out like pigtails, and short bright yellow hair. He looks towards Aeros, his hands behind his back. Next is Kaori, a short four-pupiled glowan with their hands thrown up excitedly; they have an olive green primary and wavy magenta hair. On the right is Bakra, a tall five-pupiled glowan; he has a lime-green primary and pale brown secondary shot with streaks of slate blue. He stands with his arms crossed, looking at everyone else with a small smile. the words “10 YEARS OF NIGHTSIDERS!” are written above them.

part 1 of my attacks from the 2024 season!!! at last!!! - @crimson-catalyst.bsky.social’s Clarion - @sn0wbat.bsky.social’s Rune - bogteeth on AF’s J’Vol

A digitally-colored pencil drawing of Clarion, a purple demon with dark shaggy hair and black and white horns and wings, and copious freckles. He wears a cropped t-shirt that is half black and half white, fingerless gloves, white cargo pants, and combat boots; he also wears leather and metal chain jewelry around his neck and waist. Clarion sits on the ground with his legs crossed; his tail comes up between his legs, half in his lap and half being fiddled with by both of his hands. He looks off to the right with a smile. The artist’s signature block sits at the bottom in light blue, dated JULY 2024.

A digitally-colored pencil drawing of Rune, a young-looking vampire man with shoulder-length brown hair and glowing pink eyes. He is rendered from the legs up and wearing a maroon cardigan with embroidery on the shoulders and sleeves, jeans and a green tee shirt, and a red beanie; he is lit from one side by a pale pinkish light. He smiles behind big square glasses, his fangs visible, and gives a thumbs-up. The artist’s signature block sits in the lower left corner, labeled JULY 2024.

a digital illustration of J’Vol, a half-vulcan humanoid with olive skin and dark, jaw-length hair. They look forward past the viewer with a neutral, open-mouthed expression as if speaking, with both hands raised palm-up in front of them; they are wearing long black gloves, as well as a cloak and shirt with high collars that cover their neck. J’Vol is drawn against a dusty red background; their head and hands are outlined by spiky, golden yellow halos, and their right eye has been replaced with a stylized four-pointed starburst. The artist’s signature sits in the lower right, labeled JULY 2024.

everybody give it up for year 3 of “running away from my artfight responsibilities by doodling markus velafi” 🎉 this is starting to become a habit i fear

a digital bust drawing of Markus Velafi from Thrilling Intent, drawn in a limited palette of bluish greens and lit from one side in bright oranges. He is a tiefling with small curved horns jutting from his forehead, long straight hair, and pointed ears. He faces left, looking to the side with a slight smile. The artist’s signature sits in the lower right corner, dated JULY 2024.

i’ve spent the first two days of artfight 1) too busy and 2) too frazzled about how i’m going to draw this year (traditional/digital/mix of the two) that i felt too overwhelmed to even start but just thumbnailing out like 4 attacks seems to have just completely fixed me????

good morning beautiful artfight mutuals! this is a quick PSA that i will probably be pretty slow for the first week or so of the season because i’m traveling from wednesday – monday. i will still be prioritizing revenges and working on new attacks, they’ll just be a bit slow for a bit!

a selection of buddies from brood XIII :) all the Magicicada i encountered were very goofy and docile, and absolutely ITTY BITTY compared to annuals!

an adult periodical cicada perched on my finger and looking at the camera head-on. It is black, with orangeish legs and bright red eyes. The front of an orange car is visible in the background.

two dozen or so periodical cicadas on the siding and concrete foundation of a house. A few are actively emerging from their nymphal shells; the rest are fully sclerotized adults. Most have fully inflated, dried wings, but a few have wings that are partially twisted or crumpled. Several more adults sit on the ground below, surrounded by empty nymph shells.

hundreds of empty cicada nymph shells piled at the base of a mature maple tree; they are mostly gathered in piles between the large roots of the tree.

a freshly-emerged adult periodical cicada perched on the trunk of a tree. It is completely unsclerotized; it has bright red eyes and three small red ocelli, and black patches on either side of its pronotum, but the rest of its body and wings are a pinkish white.

behold the ref is finished! you don’t know who these men are but you WILL look at them anyway

A digitally-colored pencil sketch of John and Michael, both drawn from the waist up. John, on the left, is a tall white man with light, curly hair, blue eyes, and a solid square build; he wears a navy blue shirt, a silver stud earring, and a green bracelet. Michael, on the right, is a shorter Latino man with light skin, brown eyes, curly dark brown hair to his shoulders, and a skinny physique; he wears a late 1980’s-esque sweatshirt with three broad stripes of yellow, pink, and blue over a white collared shirt. They are turned towards each other and clasping each others’ hands. John is looking over into the distance with his other hand around Michael’s shoulder; Michael is looking up directly at John with a soft smile. The artist’s signature block sits at the bottom in light blue, dated MAY 2024.
