Hope you all enjoy this 💚. I had a blast making these during artfight and had a blast making a small animation for it and arg puzzle ;).

-

More lengthy stuff and images below:

As for the puzzle :), the whole ARG is complete, venture in agents just remember not too overthink it. I wanted to make something special for such a wonderful community, as a little dedication to the agent and puzzle enthusiasts.🧩 It isn't fully IEYTD related but for those who like Polyblank and Johnny Stardust, I think you might wanna check this out. I hope this isn't too much for y'all or inconsiderate but I love OC interactions and wanted to make my attacks and revenges something special this time around, per usual of every year I participate in Artfight. Again I had so much joy creating these and hope I can doodle more little character interactions again , those are my favorites to draw 💚

-

Anyways if you manage to get through the entire site and solve things let me know. Overall, let me know your overall experience with it if you do participate in it over dms or inbox. I love interactions and chatting so. ✨🦕

Here are the individual images below:

Hi anon, whoever you are. Thank you for reaching out to me and asking about the thing I've avoided for so long.

The thing is — I don't erase Kim's life out of Jimmy's. She is in my universe, yes. And she's also Abby's friend. I hope you're not accusing me of anything because you probably don't know the full story of Sunflawyer.

In my universe, Kim is dating my friend's OC, Missy. If you look at my ArtFight you can see a bit of Kim and Abby's interaction — Kim is Abby's supervisor in HHM. Missy is a paralegal working at HHM who had a big crush on Kim and eventually they started dating.

↑ this is Kim and Missy btw.

My friend (Mimi)'s universe also doesn't include Jimmy as Kim's canon partner - because in her universe, they're just friends. We're just two best friends dating another best friends.

I only wrote specifically about Jimmy and Abby in Abby's doc because its about them - not about anyone else. But Abby and I don't hate Kim, of course!! We love her and we adore her.

Yes, I did have a bad ccxcc interaction which made me traumatized, but I'm slowly letting it go, step by step, little by little.

Thank you for asking this, anon. And thank you for helping me clear things out.

I'll edit my doc sometime soon.

Attack for @popipeko's oc, Tomie!! I am so proud of how she turned out!

[artfightdramaconfessions]

I'm really grateful for how artfight reminds me that I'm actually a pretty good artist despite barely having 700 followers on my main art social media which I've been posting on for eight years (I've been drawing properly for 11 years) and getting 0 traction, no comments, 5-20 likes on a post if I'm lucky. A quarter of my following is just my sibling's following because they're a professional. If I put an ounce of care into my social media responses, I'd probably end up quitting art. But I do it for me, and by jove I do it for Artfight. Every July, I draw like a feral creature. The rest of the year I make about half of what I make for artfight.. total.

On Artfight my ratio is always greater than 50%, and I've commented on EVERY drawing I've ever received (except two who ignored my permissions). Plus, I've made friends... who I DON'T feel obligated to draw for and they don't feel obligated to draw for me.

I actually fucking love artfight and I'm proud of how far I've come with it. I LOVE looking back on my shitty attacks from the year that I first started learning digital art. I LOVE comparing them to the attacks that I'm GLOWING PROUD of now - attacks that for once in my life I actually care to watermark. I've been on artfight for MANY years now. I have over 1000 followers, over 100 profile comments, just under 250 defenses and what makes me feel really good is that I have almost 280 attacks. i.e, more attacks than defenses, despite my art and my profile being fairly popular (on artfight) and my hitlists getting over 250 responses this year and 150 last year. I'm putting numbers to give actual benchmarks for where I'm sitting now, after 8 damn years of fighting for this.

Trust me, first years. I had the most toxic, bittersweet, love-hate relationship with artfight for my first three years. It was not fucking easy. I barely got attacked. Half my drawings never got commented on, my ratio was always over 80%, buffered by friends from my high school and some chads from Wattpad (back in the days). I hated getting to the end of a week of artfight and dwelling on how "I drew all this" and "no one wants to draw my characters" and "my art sucks" and "no one attacks me first".

It's hard, it can be disappointing, but it gets so much better and really becomes properly rewarding over time if you just put yourself out there and do it all for YOU and YOURSELF. Draw like crazy. Improve like crazy. Learn new things. Interact. Go crazy bananas and make the most of it, even when it feels like you're not being seen. Advertise yourself on the discord in MAY next year, when the real G's are hanging around and the server is still quiet enough that you aren't posted over all the time. Join hitlists, make hitlists and add a compulsory "which character of mine do you like" question to make people actually look at your page and see how much much they like you/your ocs/your art.

Artfight is pretty awesome. It's hard not to get bogged down by high ratios, but trust me... it gets better. You just gotta do it for you. :) <3 If you're struggling to get defenses, remember you aren't alone and that if you keep fighting... one day in another fight in another year you're going to struggle to keep up with revenges and you're going to anguish over your ratio dropping. I hope you get some art that makes you cry happy tears this year <3

Colored Whole Jekyll drawing dump bc I've been preparing for art fight the past few days! This is gonna be my first year doing it (since I haven't had any OCs before this year) and I'm quite excited :3 (thank you @lesbianturrets for convincing me to do it >:3 ILY CHARLIE (also I hope you don't mind the tag 😭)) but yeah!!! I've already got Elias up, so I've been figuring this guy out, coloring and thinking how I'm gonna explain him and such.

Also, I love giving them color, despite them being in the mind scape, bc my ass can NOT color purely in blues, and I refuse to unless I really feel like torturing myself 🥰🥰

Anyways, here's my ArtFight account for anyone interested >:3

[boopshoops]

Hiiii ! I hope July is treating you well, can I propose 🙈🙈🙈 Yuu Shi in the Hexeons uniform please ? Thank you in advance.

TYSM VALSE!! July treated me very well! Artfight was super fun and I had a nice time being silly 💕

HEXEONSSSS I love all the greens! Gives me like... naturistic/mythology vibes

Hope I did it justice! :D
