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

Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”

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.

a lil more on these guys
seven rough silhouettes of the characters in the original pose lined up next to each other. translucent horizontal lines behind everything: gray on the bottom as a floor, then yellow about 3/4 of the way up indicating the shortest character's height, then just a bit above that a green line indicating the first character's height, then a purple line at the top for the tallest character's height. From left to right: a green silhouette with round eyes and angular hair, height at the green line; a slouching purple silhouette with gangly build, closed eyes, and limp arms hanging back, height at the purple line (tallest); a magenta silhouette with stiff posture, concerned expression, raptor arms, and a patchy beard, height just a bit under the purple line; an orange silhouette with round eyes and curly hair, height at the green line; a yellow silhouette with hands folded and sad eyes, height at the yellow line (shortest); a blue silhouette with sunglasses and short hair leaning on one leg, arm on their hip, height about halfway between the green and purple lines; and a red silhouette with an eye patch and a much beefier, lumbering build, shoulders arched forward with arms hanging back, height reaching just under the purple line with a bun extending just slightly above it.

digital horror is being a single byte in the vastness of a high density blu-ray, or perhaps the loss of finer, higher frequency detail of yourself caused by aliasing

as someone who loves creating things and wants wider reception for them, this kind of fan behavior really just puts me off and makes me way more hesitant to actually put stuff out there. go touch some grass, and stop getting mad that your favorite chef's bean soup got reviews before you could eat it

look, not to be clinically depressed on main, but i just came to the conclusion that i'm really just not good at anything i do. stuff i care about, stuff i don't--doesn't matter. i don't wanna be telling myself that narrative but i just can't seem to do things well. i'm sure it'll pass. but it sucks

and you may ask yourself. how did i get here
oh hey, that's me (tan skin, black hair and eyes, headphones). i'm looking head-on at the camera, kinda centered but low in the frame. there is a white blanket hanging behind me on the left side of the image and fabric room divider without a blanket on the right side. A gray blanket is draped haphazardly over the whole thing, creating a "ceiling" that droops slightly on the top left. I don't know if I'm making much a facial expression here, but it's meant to be a bit of a "what am i doing with my life. how have circumstances led me here" vibe.

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.

Not being committed, though, does have its benefits. It means that I can really dabble with different media just for fun. Over the last week, I animated four of my characters over a bit from The Amazing Digital Circus, and just today I tried my hand at voice acting to get my cast some voice claims.

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.

I made this image as a joke but my friends said that it was (mostly) reasonable enough to be taken seriously. So: Indie devs, what does your game need to do for you to see it as a success? Note: except for the top tiers, most of the games shown do not relate to their tier. #indie #gamedev

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.

I think to be human is to have that drive to create, to make yourself known, to live so vicariously that you can't leave this world without having put something into it. That we live under a system prioritizing abstract numbers over fostering and safeguarding that aspect of humanity sickens me.

I looked him up when I got home. He doesn't have a presence online, but the sparse info I could find -- dated 2019, then 2003, then 1996 -- suggests he's been doing this for at least 30 years. Unclear whether he's homeless, but regardless, this seems like his main source of income.
