Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

nyehehe it is once again #artfight season...... though I won't update my refs this time around, I *DID* want to overhaul my profile landing/blorbo overview graphic >:3c artfight.net/~nk-ultra
my profile picture peeks around a corner over text reading:
"friendly fire? yes! revenge? I try, but no promises (battle ratio as of 2025: 63%). I mostly focus on drawing human(oid)s & demihumans and sometimes i might try my hand @ animation. THESE GUYS (arrow pointing to characters) are a bunch of twenty-somethings in a world where renaissance fantasy is entering a victorian steampunk era (... and they have adventures in an airship)."

text at the top reads:
Art Fight user "nk-ultra" is on TEAM TRAGEDY and offers you the following blorbos:

Rho (he/they): A courier by trade, a gentle soul by choice, and an anxious mess by nature. Centaur with medium blond hair, pale skin, crooked smile, and brown horse part. Wears a green shirt.
Dennis (he/him): A decent craftsman with a sharp wit and an unpursued passion for music. Satyr with short blue hair, horns, brown skin, pointed ears, and dark brown goat legs. Wears a red shirt and gray skirt.
Violet (she/her): A skilled witch who generally prefers plants to people. Human with brown & purple hair in a half-bun and light skin. Wears a gray turtleneck and a dark skirt.
Baxin (he/him): The excitable inventor and self-proclaimed mad scientist behind the first successful airship. Human with black sideswept locs, brass goggles, dark skin, and big grin. Wears a long gray work coat.
Thess (they/them): A quiet and keenly aware knight-in-training who tames the chaos and keeps the ship afloat. Centaur with medium dark hair, brown skin, and dark horse part. Wears a collared shirt and has a prosthetic back left leg.
Jane (she/her): A spacetime-manipulating witch with a tendency to get lost in thought. Human with blonde hair, pale skin, and freckles. Wears a purple dress.
Nastine (she/her), Aster (he/him): A duo of outdoorsy adventurers with a knack for wilderness survival. Human conjoined twins. Both have black hair (Nastine's long, Aster's short), tan skin, and beauty marks. Wearing a light shirt, green cargo pants, and cross-body bag.

just a few character explorations for a new story idea i had. i haven't decided on gender for many of them so i've made longer/shorter hair variants for most of em
13 sketched heads based on a common base lined up in two rows (one row of seven on top, another of six on the bottom; each of the ones on the bottom row are directly under one from the top and have nearly the same design but with longer hair, except for the third head on the top which has no corresponding head on the bottom). The first column of heads have a messy, angular hairstyle. The second have symmetrical middle parts and half-lidded eyes with eye bags. The third (the one without a corresponding long-hair variant) has a squarish shape to their hair with hair dipping down into their face, bloodshot eyes, and some beard hair. The fourth column of heads have curly, fluffy hair. The fifth have neat hair with a curly quaffy bit in the front, and droopy eyes with eyelashes (the longer hair variant has a ponytail). The sixth have short hair (shaved and lined up for the shorter variant, more of a pixie cut for the longer variant) and dark sunglasses. The seventh have high and tight haircuts with two spikes pointing down and shaved sides, eyepatches over their left eyes and right eyes that have Seen Things, and three scars on their jaws (the longer hair variant also has a messy bun and unshaved sideburns).

Uhh I dunno I was gonna make some sort of April Fools post but actually FOR GOD'S SAKE, HELP HIM! is unironically very positive on Steam for some reason so go play that if you want an April Fools joke from me
The Steam page for my weird little game, FOR GOD'S SAKE, HELP HIM! (description: FOR GOD'S SAKE, HELP HIM! is a tiny, surreal first-person art "game" about what it's like. your goal is singular and simple: try to help him, however you can... if you can. that's a tall order considering you're both in a blank void and he's being crushed over and over.). At the bottom, it has very positive reviews and 96% recommended out of 52 reviews.

Ope I may have taken some time off but today's a very good day to do #MarchWorldbuilders Day 31 -- first and foremost, I just worldbuild as a hobby for its own sake because I quite enjoy it. I'd like to make something with it in the future, though..... a book? a comic? an animated series? who knows.

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

Tepid take but if your immediate response to diacritics or punctuation in a fantasy place or character name is "How is anyone in your audience going to read this? How is this supposed to be said out loud? This is disastrous naming!" then I think you're more a businessperson than an author or artist.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders 6 I haven't come up with much flora in these forests, unfortunately, but I do know some fungi. In thick deciduous forests, you can find the occasional towering mushroom, which is the size of a tree or so. In temperate rainforests, phantom mold loves colonizing juicy fruits.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders 5 Oh yeah, definitely. There's a big one in the center of the continent. That's where Baxin's family and the Sakk language are from. The nation invading the area's native peoples is also there, but it's such a big desert that it's a different place entirely.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders 4 I don't have many mountains actually thought up. There's a big mountainous region due to plate convergence; it's like the Himalayas. The Andosy peninsula has Coin Mountain somewhere. And some mountain mines contain pitchblende, one red witch's preferred source of power.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders 3 Ope! I do, but they're out of date. I'm rebuilding it from the ground up currently, reworking the plate tectonics and continental coastline for more varied climate zones. Regardless, here's the gist of it.
A simple world map of a single giant continent spanning east to west mostly in the southern hemisphere. A small portion just out to the northwest. The coloration on the map represents elevation, but it's only few gradations so it's not very detailed; still, there's a cluster of tall mountains just southeast of the continent's center, as well as a few mountain ranges scattered about on some coasts. There's a big lake just to the west of the big cluster of mountains.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders 2 The scope of the story is more or less restricted to the major continent of the world of Erova (Arven, though I'm not entirely sold on that name yet). They could reasonably have some escapades at sea, and in the future there might be some Onaplane shenanigans, but not now.
010
Noah Kuhn @noahkuhn.bsky.social · 06/02/2026
Let's play some catch-up, shall we? #FebruaryWorldbuilders 1 Yep, it's a planet called Erova. The planetary system it's part of is the Dorean System, and the larger universe is the Andoplane. There are some other planes, too -- the Onaplane and Infernoplane are the ones that have come up so far.
