Hoo boy its been a while since I've done an art share! I'm part of #TeamMystery this year! I've also only done three attacks, but I'm honestly a fairly slow artist so I'm very pleased with my current pace! We WILL continue to haul ass!
My 2026 Team Mystery profile thingy! On it, it says I attack chthonic creatures, angels, demons, celestials, military, art deco, and fictional religious themes, though to be honest I will attack whatever catches my eye. I'm good with friendly fire, revenges, and mass attacks. I have humans and monsters (read: fantasy creatures like a satyr and centaurs) mostly, but I do have 1 anthro lizard, 1 worm/mech hybrid, and one crystal dude (idk what he'd fall under). I've also got uminkeo butterflies on here because I'm sane and normal about that VN.Bahet (Harmacist MD's OC) is a shapeshifting witch that can turn into all kinds of animals. She is also an African American woman who appears in her 40s, with blonde locs. She's wearing a green jumpsuit thing with a golden collar and a jeweled green earring. She's posed such that she's mostly turned her back to the composition - she's in a mirror. Her hand reaches out to caress the mirror, but the hand we see in the PoV is the monsterous scaled hand in her more monsterous iteration. The mirror itself is a golden art deco inspired mirror. The background is pretty directly inspired off of Queen Vanessa's Bedroom (as in Hat in Time), with the scratch marks in the wall to boot. A warm candlelight is off to the side, putting most of her face in shadow; her glowing green eye defies this darkness, though.This is an Artfight attack of PockyvsSight's Faraday! The TL;DR is that he's laying on the ground feeling like garbage (as in the moment in Undertale where Frisk and Napstablook lay down together).   Faraday is a very fair-skinned college student with long, dark brown hair, and patchy hair growth in his moustache and beard. He's also got little freckles around his face, though its mostly faded since they were acquired in his teens. He's wearing a grey (slightly beige) hoodie with patchwork marks on it and a patchwork heart over his chest, dark headphones (which he wears around his neck), baggy jeans, and socks. He's laying down on the wooden floor with his hair splayed out around him, and wires from his various works curl around behind. Around him is a red starscape that fades into view. Faraday himself is off-center in the composition, letting the stars really bleed in nebulae and all on the right side of the artpiece.This is Gzizmo's Ira! They're a young teen human with periwinkle hair, a strong brow/nose, swirls for cheeks, and darker skin. They're wearing a brown vest, tan jeans, a blue, starry undershirt and pale purple gloves. They have on a necklace with stars on it, a watch on their right hand (our left), and a spiral decal going down their left arm. Their hands rest against their cheek in a faux 'sleeping' pose, where one eye is closed and the other is open looking right at the viewer. They're surrounded in an art nouveau inspired composition where the top half shows the phases of the moon (and they're backlit by a bigger version of the full moon), and the lower half is a stylized closed eye that is filled in the 'skin' with stained glass pieces. In the background of the "sky" and making up the borders on the top half are eye motifs (alluding to their power to monitor people with eyes as numerous as the stars).

I managed to upload my one(1) artfight attack despite the website crashing 🎊 anyhoo this is @theharmacistmd.bsky.social 's Bahet! Isn't she lovely <3 #OCSky #NotMyOC

T-2 Days until Artfight! T-10, T-9, T-8, T-5, T-3 Day 2 is Darius! He's the royal heir that can't live up to his divine Father's expectations, despite his best efforts. I had to specify that he's not a centaur because the rest of his family is. He was, too, but An Incident changed that.
A design reference of my OC, Darius. Darius is a dark red skinned demon / tiefling looking humanoid. His actual species is an Elohim - they're nudibranch slug guys that pilot bodies like biomechs. In Darius' case, that's his tongue (there's a reference to that on his Artfight profile). He has large bat-like wings that span about 1.5x his own arm length, he has draconic scales that act as freckles, he has dark brown hair spiked up and styled, and he has tan eyes that match his tan horns.

In this picture, Darius is standing in a T-pose. A golden spiked halo-adjacent accessory frames his head; this goes to his back and around his stomach eventually as a brace for Kyphosis. It's not pictured, but said brace is ribbed along the spine like a skeleton. He's wearing a loose top that goes to his elbows, but exposes his stomach. Below that, he's wearing a robe. the top has a modified symbol of the Holan flag (the kingdom he's inheriting). The top is an off-white and a dull red. The bottom is a muted stained glass patterned overlayer, with a draconic scaled  edging in the middle. This gives way to a rich, red, ribbed underlayer. He's wearing thick shoes with golden accents. He also has a cane, depicting a golden dragon as its handle.

T-3 Days until Aftright! T-10, T-9, T-8, T-5 Day 3 is Evie! She was part of a Ministry of Truth type department until her dismissal/exile was used as a punishment for the kingdom's heir, Darius (she was his only confidant). Thankfully not even the State can stop her from serving 24/7
My OC, Evie! Evie's a dark skinned human woman with golden blonde hair and green eyes. In both, her hair is done up in an updo with a long, segmented ponytail trailing behind.

In the first design, I based it off of Ancient Egyptian fashion, a Jester's collar kind of (I wanted to allude to Jester's privilege), and black holes. She's got a dark purple dress that stops at her boobs. Above is a harness-esque design that fans out into that jester's collar kind of thing, with a light orange - red gradient. She's wearing bangles on her wrists and her feet, the former of which holds hooks for transluscent fabric that encircles her person.

In the second design, the high society nobility look is swapped out for a more pirate-y, scrappy looking design. She's got a fancy purple pirate overcoat with a peach colored fabric sinched around her waist and coming up across one arm (her right, our left). The other arm's fabric is torn and tattered.

T-5 Days until Artfight! ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶d̶e̶s̶i̶g̶n̶ ̶k̶i̶c̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶a̶s̶s̶ T-10, T-9, T-8 Day 5 is The Guardian! The (eldritch) goddess of her world whisked her away on the day of her execution, and now she's coming to terms & attempting to correct the damage of the lies she championed during her prior life.
A reference image of 'The Guardian', a powered-up alt of my OC Neve! She's basically an eldritch angel here. In it, she has glowing silver-white hair, slate grey skin with a crystal lodged in her ribcage's sternum. The skin makes way to a ribcage/waist/spinal skeletal sctructure, followed by a iridescent, glowing crystaline coral acting as a skirt. Coming from her waist is disconnected fallopian tubes, with hands replacing where the ovaries would be. Black tendrils cling to her face and go above her floating hair, grasping onto crystals that float above her head. To either side of her is the sihlouette of crystal wings, backed by an iridescent aurora. She also has hands floating around her (6 additional hands pictured, for 8 total in the frame). She was inspired by Chronos from Hades and Moon Presence from Bloodborne.

:D I'm glad!! Despite him "executing divine will", they banter like they did when they were teens. They (especially the sister, Neve) are SO petty sometimes.

Vihala @vihala.bsky.social · 24/06/2026
T-8 Days until Artfight! T-10, T-9 Day 8 is Al! He's wandering for answers after his deceased sister appeared to him in a divine vision. I'll be so real, I've had this dude for 8 years and this is genuinely the first time I've been happy with his hair/facial structure.
This is my OC, Al! He's such a twink t b h. He's got green hair, very pale skin, and brown eyes. He wears a blue poncho and a warm tan scarf he kept from his mother before she was taken by the State. He also has leather wraps around the lower half of his legs all the way down to his feet. Below the poncho he has an underskirt wrap with a pocket and a few vials he uses for materia for magic.

T-9 Days until Artfigh! T-10 Day 9 is Tobias! He's the insurrection's rock; I see him like their King in chess (where Donnel would be the Queen).
A reference of my OC, Tobias. He is a trans masc, plus sized Nephilim (a custom species that wraps any humanoidish fantasty race into one -- he looks an awful lot like a satyr). His outfit is a sapphire-toned peasant robes (inspired off of ancient Greek & Egyptian wear). He wears a grey sash featuring a pierced star; the symbol of the insurrection he leads. Attatched to the back of his head, his wrists, and cradling his entire body is a sheer, starry drape.

T-10 Days until Artfight!! I'm going to post an OC ref of mine per day leading up, because I've realized I haven't really properly introduced my OCs with a visual. Day 10 is Donnel! He's my troubled little man. A bird in a cage, if you will.
A drawn reference of Donnel, my OC. There's two images, representing two different phases in his life. Both have brown hair, a long hairstyle for a masculine character, blue eyes, and a pink crystaline scar running down his face on the right (our left). One has Donnel in a pirate-y inspired outfit, with a pink tunic, tan sleeves, a slate purple fabric wrapped around his waste/his pants, and brown boots with little stars on them. The other showcases him in a mix between modern ceremonial military, a hoplite skirt, and wing motifs that act as a cape and that cover his eyes with 6 wings total.

I'm happy to announce I have kicked artblock in the shins with pretty harpy demon lady 😌 Also PLEASE look at their lore its so badass!! Thanks to @slinaro.bsky.social for letting me borrow your absolutely gorgeous OC and @jackofarttrades.bsky.social for hosting this arttrade!
Lady Naam (Slinaro's OC) is lounged on the side of a table. She has a relaxed expression, holding some kind of golden trinket. Lady Naam herself is a red headed demon with white horns, teal feathers adorning her chest, back, and legs, with peacock feathers around her neck and with bird talon feet. She has several pieces of golden jewelry adorning her wrists, ankles, horns and neck. She's wearing a red feathered cloak that's slung around her side and dangling down off the table. The entire piece is very warm in tone.

But a fellow player I bounced this off of said this felt like this nerfed ranged to the ground, and if it were smth like 50ft. as a base the mechanic wouldn't ever come up in the first place.
010
Vihala @vihala.bsky.social · 19/01/2026
And I was thinking of incorporating Pathfinder's action economy so you could shoot a weapon and a spell in the same turn so you don't feel like you spent your movement doing 'nothing'.
110
Vihala @vihala.bsky.social · 19/01/2026
My idea was giving the range of ranged weapons/spells a much shorter range than you'd otherwise expect (a bow getting smth like a 30ft. range as opposed to its 150 you see in 5e. But if using less than half your movement, the range doubles. And if you're still, it quadruples.

Vihala @vihala.bsky.social · 19/01/2026
Currently workshopping mechanics on the campaign I DM (TL;DR: roaring 20s eldritch-inspired high magic system) and I've been working on balancing ranged vs melee combat. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make melee an appealing option in a system like this? I had an idea but will put in comment.

Vihala @vihala.bsky.social · 17/01/2026
Exactly! And like. Idk man hitting 24/28 dmg against Team Slacker (3 and 2 def) is still cracking through a lot of defenses. Single target wise I'm sure Vi is better but personally I'd rather take a nerf to single target to ensure I'm safe from the ads.

Vihala @vihala.bsky.social · 17/01/2026
I was a Leif main too (first playthrough was on hard mode). I understand the theory for Vi but the falloff on her multihit moves made me sad. Ice rain went brr and AOE and there were so many ice weak enemies, and I had 5 Crisbee Doughnuts on my person at all times lmao

SO true! This pic was a huge vibe, it informed a lot of the sky perspective and the calamity tying in with the falling figure. And I also heavily ref'd the OC Pin board of Pandora, which is the owner of the tower Oska's falling out of ca.pinterest.com/charleston15...

WE DID IT GANG @kaoala.bsky.social 's lovely Oska for my 100 follower giveaway! -- #OCSky #NotMyOC
A tarot card of The Tower - Oska (Kaoala's OC) is falling from the tower they live in with a lightning bolt striking them in the chest. They're smiling despite this. The composition is incredibly darkly lit, with a blue dim fire coming from the towers' windows and a lighter blue flame reaching up to claim the falling person. The clouds have Oskana (pre-amnesia), whom has all the traumas Oska's forgotten; she smites them down every time Oska "gets better", as represented by her (as a face in the clouds) wielding the thunder bolt that strikes them. There's white border work on the side, with the "Tower" label in the upper middle.
