#i have gotten some artfight stuff done so

[cosmic--static]

thanks for the tag @watercubebee :D

current mood: tired :( very tired I havent slept very well the past few days (i say as I am still up past midnight. hm 🤔🤔 I wonder why you haven't slept well sosmo)

current activity: getting ready to sleep... hopefully I might wait to post this until morning tbh

current favorite song: that's such a hard one :(( I usually have a favorite song but I can't think of one rn so the song I've been listening to the most recently: Sweet Transvestite from Rocky Horror <3 I have been listening to this SOOO much the past few days

currently reading: Nemesis by Louise Cooper (does it count if I've only read the first page 🫣) but also I have sooooo many books that I am "currently" reading. by currently I mean I started them 2 years ago and have not touched the book since... yikes

currently watching: nothing really :^: mostly it's been youtube or a movie I've already seen

current favorite character: a few days ago I might've said dream or hob but they are slowly getting overcome by my own oc, Kirov, who I had to redesign today and I love her very much :3

current wips: oh boy... [holding closed a door that has fic wips threatening to burst out of it] oh y'know... just a few doodles for artfight and-- [the dam of fic wips bursts]. but yeah. I'm always working a little on my fun retired transfem dream fic (has not worked on it in months. but I am always thinking about working on it so... same thing right?)

tagging you @myvoideisstupid because why not <3 and anyone else who wants to do this, consider yourself tagged! I do not have the brain power to think of anyone else to tag so hahsjjabsjd I sleep 🛏️

[vershl]

HELLO ITS ME--

Sorry I've been gone for so long, I've been focusing on drawing for myself, as well as having massive brainrot for Sonic OCs and such. I won't be sharing my ACTUAL ocs at the moment, they're a bit personal and-- yeah.

However; I WILL share new blorbos :] -- Let's start with Sonic, Shadow, and Vespera. I haven't drawn more of my dadow or REALLY made a true design for Sonic, BUT Shadow has gotten a tweak. I yoinked an idea from Lancelot artists, and honestly- I'm obsessed with Shadow looking this way asjfgkajsg

cough cough- ignore the sauce asgjasgj

Vespera also now has a proper reference, so that's fun.

--

SOOOO--- She has two new younger siblings now as well, it was spontaneous BUT I love them.

She needs a little more work, but say hi to Maria. She's an albino hedgehog, and unfortunately I don't have more art of her-- YET.

Well, other than her and her twin brother as babies. :]

--

And speaking of twin brother; This is Orion. Personality wise, he's EXACTLY like younger Shadow, to a fault. He's egotistical, hot headed, self absorbed, and sarcastic. Very much a neutral-evil aligned dude. He's smelly, but we love him.

Had to include a close-up of the really nice one ashgajsg IM GONNA EAT HIMM-

-- This is all I have to share.. for now, I'll try to come back soon with more doodles, as well as share some stuff I've done for ArtFight. But I might leave that for tomorrow.

I know my style has changed since I last posted-- but I've been converting from SAI 2.0 to Clip Studio, and it's been a bit of a journey.

Needless to say-- I think SatCG is going to be put on hold for a while, I'm lacking the braincells to work on a comic 💀

[taffitoast]

Aaaaaaahh, I'm getting so much stuff about KCS and I literally am in love with all of it.

Ima share some of this stuff people have done as jokes and just random art. Even some of my own doodles. [Of course not EVERY doodle but most]

Let's start with stuff from Artfight!!!

I do have another one from my friend Berry, but the image is hard to post here lol.

These are two I've gotten for KCS! The first one is by @melodyartiez . We are chaining and they did my lovely boy! The next one is by Remus Weemus. [Linking their Artfight down below!]

Next we have some things from @tacxx :000, she draws awesome pictures that I get to post >:]. Now these are BOTH From Tacxx and they have great art, you guys should definitely go follow them >:]

Now we have some Doodles IVE DONE eheheh (minus a few for reasons to not mess with tacxx eheheh)

The first two are WhiteBoard Doodles of the guy. With the last one being from a Gartic Phone Game. I only drew the head lol. The body and legs were drawn by 2 other people.

AND FINALLY. But hopefully never last. A member on Discord redrew one of my previously drawn pictures. [This is the same member that edited the BALD KCS drawing.]

I am including their redraw and my orginal art which can be seen in a previous post here on my account.

Thank you if you looked through all this awesome art! Go check out the people who contributed in this.

Here is the Artfight Link for Remus Weemus

Update on the A03

Chapter 2 is almost done, sorry it's taking me so long! I will be getting it done asap.

[junebuggeryy]

coughs up blood. hi im alive

this is very long overdue, but hi! apologies for vanishing mid-artfight, some stuff came up in my personal life that took my attention and energy away and i've been sorta working myself back up to existing online. i do really wish i hadn't gotten royally sidetracked during artfight- there was a lot of art i would have liked to have done, and i definitely owe people lots of hugs and long nice comments that i just havent been mentally able to return. but i'm okay! im alive!

anyway so this is me attempting to crawl out of my hole. hiya. hows it been. gonna attempt to get the art-zone moving again ✌️

[fainthedcherry]

I can't wait to memorize this day Oh a picture could not contain The way it feels You say live in the present I’m already dreaming of how it begins And trying to savor the moment But I know the feeling will come to an end

SO

I

CRAAAAVE-

(BEAUTIFUL Outfit seen on the character here designed by Imaddictedtomememes on DeviantArt!!! ♥)

Been a while since I posted, since I'd gotten super busy!!!

I gotta go to sleep ASAP, as I got work tomorrow, but have a post, before I do go offline, of a drawing I did as stress-relief (I really needed some all week now)

Thaaat I finished freshly off the press, just a few mins ago LMFAO

I've lately had an identity crisis w/ my sona's design for the millionth time LOL. Sooo yeah..Might take a while, until I get a redesign done, that makes me feel comfy w/ my change in identity since 2023 dfdsklg, being bi-gender is hard sometimes, as you feel like the biggest devil, for just asking someone IRL who doesn't get it, to refer to you as he/him on a day where the dysphoria gets REAL bad yknow?

But I digress- this drawing is set to Paramore's Crave!!! Andddd also obv the lyrics are in said drawing LOL. I made 3 diff versions of this drawing's BG but I chose to stick w/ one bc I hate posting several versions of a same drawing tbh sflksdgölsd

Oh yeah, also, ever since MediBang updated to allow for timelapses...You bet I'm gonna use it SDSKDLFSLKDG

SOO YEAH!!!! ENJOY DRAWING WHILST I MIGHT POST AGAIN SOOOON BC OF ARTFIGHT N STUFF. And yes I know I add butterflies everywhere, to almost every drawing but SHUSH they're like a comfort-drawing thing or comfort animal ig sdgfkldsklg, it helps de-stress and I just ADORE THEM.

By the by, plan to maybe draw more often in Medibang, ever since I paid for a subscription to their service lol, totally worth it. I love the brushes and used almost purely premium brushes in this drawing dklgsdklg

^Anddd maybe Ill do more timelapses on my ko-fi and stuff!!! I feel like it'd be cool to record more progress on my like..ACTUAL artstyle art yknow, not this doodle stuff sdgklsdkg

My artfight

And then some rambling under the cut

So.

this Artfight didn’t go as good as I’d wanted it to.

Ending Statistics and Thoughts

Team:Stardust  Battle Ratio:43.48% Points:2942.5 Attacks:47 Friendly Fire:33 Defenses:104

I did 80 attacks. 5 of those I initiated first, while 75 of them were revenges. I had 104 attacks aimed at me, with 50 attacks that included my characters. I’m not counting, but I didn’t care whether or not I was revenging against a mass attack or not, nor what team I was revenging against.

I have gotten 3 new characters, and got help finishing the design of another one.

Almost all of my characters got attacked. The ones that didn’t get attacked are my dragon Smokey, my critter Magic Runes, and my Anemone Fam group character profile. But with over 30 characters, that’s still a good distribution.

This year did not go as plan. My one true goal was to revenge against everyone. Clearly, that didn’t happen, but I managed to get over half done, where I’ll finish revenging the 69 last people next year.

This month was not a good month. Lots of irl stuff happened, including heat waves, death of a family pet, and a flare up right at the end of the month that put me in the ER. 

But I’m still incredibly proud of what I’ve done this year for artfight, only doing one attack shy from last year, even if I had to just post 17 of my attacks as sketches there at the end. 

The first couple of attacks felt rusty to me, and then they started coming out incredible. I did a few Minecraft skins for people who filled my hitlist out, I did some traditional pieces with different coloring mediums when the heat got bad, and I even did a paper mask craft as the first foray into that!

My last thoughts are more of advice. If you want people to check out your characters, and attack them, start filling out hitlists a week before Artfight starts. The Artfight discord has a Targeting channel that you can find hitlists of. And then there’s always people asking for certain types of characters in the gen chats and the characters chat. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this is why I got so many attacks this year.

[flarekitti]

25-30

25. Something my art has been compared to that I was NOT inspired by: I've got an oc named Edring, a robot fella with a round head and antenna, apparently people really like comparing her design to clank from ratchet and clank. A little frustrating because I've never seen that character before and I 100% see the unintentional resemblance.

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what I intended: I don't think I've experienced something quite like this yet, lucky I guess lol. I mean, what I mentioned above could apply I think.

27. Do I warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it I draw to warm up with: Before I draw more complex stuff, I usually like doodling my ocs or other people's ocs. It's a good opportunity to make some silly little things for friends lol.

28. Any art events I have participated in the past (like zines): Sadly no not really, I think the closest thing that could count would be artfight, but otherwise I've usually just kinda sat here and done my own thing. I do wanna branch out a bit more and work with other peeps or get involved with some projects at some point should the opportunity come around!

29. Media I love, but doesn't inspire me artistically: Honestly, I kinda let myself get a little too engrossed in my own work/media that tends to only inspire me artistically, so I'm gonna say it's the stuff I haven't yet seen that everyone else loves so much lol. Will usually see someone rant about something like infinity train, owl house, or some games that I haven't gotten into, and I'll just be hella happy seeing them go off about why they love it, and enjoy the tiny clips and pieces of that media people share around when something big in it goes down.

30. What piece of mine do I think is underrated: Several commission images I've made in the past just got like, minimal engagement at best, they're always the ones I spend the most time on :P It's just how it goes though. In particular there was one I made a while back for a bud, it was their sona fighting Urayne from that pokemon uranium fan game. I spent so much time on it and it got met with some criticism for being a bit too busy looking. Will probably post it here later because I'm still pretty proud of it.

Personal Artfight Summary 2022 Team Wither

Note: I do not care for the competitive aspect, this is just for myself. Doing a specific amount of attacks is always my goal. The winners haven’t been announced yet, so to clarify; I don’t really care about the whole teams stuff specifically.

Average battle ratio: 58% (It went down when I was burnt out, so I mostly got revenges at that time.) Attacks; 60 against other team, 35 against own team, this means in total I did 95 attacks. Defense: I received 84 attacks back.

On average the people you attack always have a 50% of attacking back tbh, most extra defenses are people who end up attacking me rather than me finding people to attack. Most of people I fight with are people I’ve fought before during artfight, and usually I chain en masse with my friends. I mostly do art fight for my friends- And while I love getting to know new people artfight does have a lot of downsides that its growing every year.

Summary on why I don’t defense back: People so often don’t read my permissions and it makes my characters look like they’re not even my characters any more. This has given me so much anxiety over the years I’ve played artfight. It happens. Every. Year. I generally stop attacking back and even block people if they break the permissions. This is because interacting with most folks to ask for edits is nerve breaking to me due past experiences. So I always make a note to cease interaction with certain folks. The majority of people who break permissions are minors- Who I am uncomfortable to interact with anyways. Others are people who use the art style excuse (all though minors do this too) It’s not art style if you break character design in order to make it work in your ‘’style’’ its just lazy. :/ Other times people do follow the permissions correctly, but their art work is still very inexperienced. I want to limit who I revenge so I don’t get Overwhelmed, when I’m already enduring severe anxiety because of the yearly common repetitive mistakes. I update my character permissions almost yearly in hopes people read. But they don’t like reading it seems. I still save every piece to my pc and appreciate the effort and time given. I simply wish to focus my energy on people who do care about my character’s design, and mostly to play the game with friends. I’m not a machine. I over-attack Folks sometimes: I don’t expect people to attack back. But I will stop attacking people who don’t even comment. If they like my drawing then thats a job well done.

July is a terrible month every year it gets worse. I have seasonal affective disorder alongside a couple of other disabilities. Extreme weather affects my health terribly, and my condition gets pretty bad every summer. As a result I did mostly chibiheads this year to compensate. I’ll have to see if I can do mostly repetitive styles next year as well, and advertise that instead. It is simply too difficult to work on anything in my main style the majority of the time due the weather. My airco also broke, so that wasn’t helpful. Global warming is making artfight less and less enjoyable every year due the heat speaks in July.

Some of the favorite Attacks I did this year.

Chibiheads 

Traditional Art

Main Art style

Whoop whoop. Now I’ll have to have a recovery period before I can draw my own stuff comfortably again. ATM the only stuff that’s queued up on my deviantart is adoptables and mostly simple stuff. I’m drained and on a gaming binge while trying to survive the heat. Today’s going to be HOT. Ughh. Save me.

Some of my favorite attacks I’ve gotten this year.

Just to note, I’ve received so much nice and amazeballs stuff, I just don’t want to make this blog too long however. Also, some folks don’t want their work reposted on social media (toyhouse is exempt.) They usually add a ‘’don’t repost’’ to their art, so that’s my go to. My profile states that attacking me means I’ll add artwork to their toyhouse. Artists get creditted on toyhouse, always!

Mothman by VV https://artfight.net/attack/3617376.something-to-fear

An amazing animation depicting a version of Mothman’s light absorption skill, Except they seem to affect the weather. I love this! It’s so smooth and creepy.

Mothman by Sweetsfiendish https://artfight.net/attack/2943803.mothman

Extremely cute art style. I’m still in love with it. Look at that baby. I want a plushie version.

Mothman by grepij https://artfight.net/attack/3100311.mothman

Amazing. Just.. Speechless when I saw this. I got really, really hyped. It really fits well with the character’s design. Ominous, mysterious.

The seedling by l0stw00fs https://artfight.net/attack/2893295.the-seedling

I love, love loveee this. He looks so anxious and quiet in this image. Like he’s been hurt. L0stw00fs interpretation of this characters is really good <3 Definetly one of my favorite pieces of the seedling.

Sarue by onebadomen https://artfight.net/attack/2907725.death-alley  Amazing picture that really captures Sarue’s personality. I love cinematic scenes with this guy. The mist really ads to that ‘’I come at dusk’’ energy.

Morgaine by Iouquie https://artfight.net/attack/3644470.morgaine

I love the overall vibe and colors on this piece. Iouquie makes amazing paintings usually, but their less painty style is sooo good too. It has some comic feels in it.

Mora by Khvoxtic https://artfight.net/attack/3430413.ruby-red

I love this art style. Mora’s expression, hair, ears. She looks so cheeky and cute.

Nebula by Ixxy https://artfight.net/attack/3897464.nebula

A bit of favoritism here.. But Ixxy is one of my favorite artists of all time. They are also my friend!! Their artwork is always very pleasing to look at. Nebula looks charming and seductive on this piece.

Throne Cardinal by Michaelsilverleaf https://artfight.net/attack/3706589.throne-cardinal Their artwork has that comic book-y feel to it. I really love this depiction of Cardinal. His hair waves up, there’s a feeling of wind. There’s light coming from above. This AI is really good at looking divine!

Loki by Kitsunka https://artfight.net/attack/4076712.wizard-and-familiar

A last minute attack thrown at me by my dear friend Kitsunka. Kitsu’s art style is really cute and has great rendering. It feels soft and polished <3 This very cute image of Loki has my heart pound <3

Riel zero by Xili https://artfight.net/attack/3249115.riel-zero

Ahh, my main sona definetly got most attacks out of everyone this year. Newcomer mothman was popular too. A lot of these pieces have me roll on the floor and go ‘’hnngg’’ Then.. There’s Xili’s piece. The shading and light effects have me stare. This is a really really nice art style. And I’m using it as icon on toyhouse xD <3

Riel Zero by Mishooku https://artfight.net/attack/3915700.shattered

Amazing.. Mishooku mentioned they read my webtoon. And looking at this piece, they definetly took the time to look at the descriptions on his refsheets. I really adore this piece- because its the kind that would be on my wishlist bucketlist. People who read the lore parts and use it are a blessing. Man. I can’t get over how amazing this piece is.

There’s many more attacks I want to add to this post but it’s really long now, so I’ll end it with a last minute attack I received after artfight closed by bugorchard.

their social media: https://instagram.com/bugorchard/

I always love pieces people have made of Snow Solus, but this one really takes the cake. The painty style is soooo smooth. Her hair feels real. The light effects got me by the collar. Holy sheeeet. Bugorchard got them skills, man! They didn’t have to finish it- but they did. I’m just blown away by the skill. It makes me happy that they also did the superhero version of Snow.

There are many more attacks I received I want to add to this post, but I’ll leave it here. Maybe I’ll post them later as some artist appreciation post. But that’s it for my artfight summary. Maybe see you next year! (If I’m not dead from seasonal affective disorder by then.)

[ohdeerymeee]

Ok, so I may not have gotten a lot of artfight stuff done (got one (1) wip I plan to finish before this year’s over, it’s almost done, just gotta finish the head, maybe tweak some things) but I did get a hell of a lot of stuff done on misc bead stuff and my potential webcomic!  

Got everything together to make a semi-experimental bead piece (which has a stand thing! that works and is pretty sturdy!! I wasn’t sure the design would work!) all I have to do now is assemble it!  which will take awhile.

I made some breakthroughs in brainstorming the plot progression of the comic, and have played around with quite a few character designs!   I just need to figure out a couple more plot threads before I can make a solid outline and actually start working on the damn thing.  Though I might wait a bit to really start it so I can make sure I’m happy with the outline and don’t get any more ideas (and then make sure I have a really big buffer + maybe the first chapter or so before I actually post it).

Artfight did it’s job on making me want to do my own stuff, which isn’t great for my point totals, but it is great for motivation!  Maybe next year I’ll see how far I can push my point gains, but that’s for future me to deal with.

my new science birb for my comic!  her name is Sebrine and I love her.

[honeyrisuke]

ok no turns out what im mad about and posted about earlier wasnt a big deep "modern media bad bluh" thing, im just. not feeling so hot rn

very long boring ramble below

I've struggled with my art ever since I started to put it online

like, I'd always refresh and check if someone saw it and then get all exciting when someone did see it and like it and so on but not even once have I had some art I did actually,,, do anything for me. it was never _worth it_ if that makes sense.

I'd sit there for hours upon hours and then post it in hopes someone else enjoys it and seemingly nobody ever does. I can spend days on a drawing and it barely even reaches my friends, and in old media at least I still had one or the other random

even right now on Furaffinity, which also isnt algorythmically sorted, I occationally get people who just like all of my stuff in a quite sincere way, or comment on my art in a genuine way- and that's why I've recently enjoyed drawing furry fetish art a lot more than anything else, even when I didn't wanna draw furries that day.

but on shit like instagram or twitter or even on here I've. I rarely even get one interaction?? on my art?? I've never gotten a comment. I've never had someone share my art on twitter or instagram because they liked it

and when I did get faves or comments it was always either an IRL friend of mine who'd like a selfie of me taking a shit bc they don't care, as long as I posted it, or someone I don't know who just wants to promote their own account

I've blocked people in the past who left a nice comment on instagram, and when i replied to thank them they immediately went for "would you mind checking out my page"

bc yea i do mind shut tf up

its. fundamentally uncomfortable to be in those positions. I don't wanna go around using other people as stepping stones to get anywhere. I don't wanna go around and put up this big professional influencer facade just so I can draw my lame fucking characters and have maybe 10 people like it

and no, I'm not talking huge numbers and wanting fame or whatever, just. something. anything.

I've grown to really really hate art communities, and that means whenever I sit down and want to draw I have to first fight a big "but what for?"

and most of the time recently? I lose that fight. I can't think of a "what for", and then I sit there for several hours slowly thinking myself into a rage instead of doing anything productive, because actually I'm also very upset about not drawing, but I can't think of a good reason to do it

and to anyone who says "just do it for yourself"- you know you're lying. I've never met an artist who said that shit to my face and didn't have at least one person they could share their art with

I'd just be out here sending it to random ass people knowing damn well I'm annoying.

art is worthless if it can't be shared with anyone. I really picked the worst fucking hobby as a child. I hate everything I do and I hate doing it

I was hoping to rekindle my muse with artfight but as for right now, it looks like I'm not even gonna get a single attack, and each time I sit down to draw I'm building my hope up again that "this time they will respond and draw something back to" just to sit here on the 31st with maybe one really crappy doodle made by someone who just wanted to get free art from me. and if I'm as stupid as I've been all these years, I'll even have given them that free piece of art.

I'm just. I don't know where to go from here and. not to be even more of a downer at the end of this, in case anyone actually did read it, but

I've. not felt so hot about being around anymore recently, and fundamentally feeling like I should stop doing at alltogether is a big part of that. I've always done art one way or another, and so far nobody has ever given a shit about it. I have genuinly no idea why I've done it for so long. but i feel like if i stop then I am doing absolutely nothing anymore. i wouldnt be expressing myself anymore, i wouldnt put anything out there anymore. id just be here locked inside of my head unable to communicate the things im passionate about because i KNOW im annoying, i KNOW im unbearable and overly aggressive and genuinly unlikeable, and i know nobody gives a shit about the stuff i like or enjoy. i already stopped being excited about things bc of that years ago and am now only defaulting to be pissed and to complain and to make fun of things

and i feel that if i fully stop drawing and making art its. kinda over. idk i dont wanna write it out but that'd be it.
