When it comes to fashion in the Witchrealm, only one name comes to mind: Madame Theofinia Pallidane. Every self-respecting crestwitch has at least one of her dresses... everyone else is probably on a waiting list.

A full-body fantasy illustration of an elegant, unicorn/deer/kirin-like humanoid character posing confidently against a muted gray background with a decorative gold frame. She has pale fur with freckles, long wavy white hair, a single spiraled horn on her forehead, and a long tail with a tufted end. She wears a wide-brimmed purple witch’s hat adorned with pins and jewels, and a flowing, off-shoulder purple gown with gold trim, high slits, and draped sleeves that reveal her legs. Gold jewelry accents her wrists, ankles, and neckline. One hand is lifted in a graceful, spellcasting gesture while the other gathers her skirt. The artwork is signed Hatwolf 2026.

Next Artfight 2025 attack is from @auroraalphaderg.bsky.social and no surprise: it’s Salama again. She really is a beloved Artfight target every year 😁

In this piece, Salama is shown reading one of her many books, with one of her self-brewed potions in her hand. (1/5)
A detailed fantasy illustration of a red, horned dragon standing beside a stone wall against a glowing orange-to-purple starry sky. The dragon wears a wide-brimmed white hat with curled forward pointing horns and turquoise jewelry, and has long white/pink hair flowing down their neck. They are calmly reading a small, ornate spellbook decorated with moons, a sun and stars while holding a glass flask filled with a glowing purple liquid, suggesting potion-making or magic. The scene feels warm, mystical, and quiet, as if the dragon is studying magic at sunset.

Historians say, they were really good friends.

Working on some actual illustrations of my fantasy setting After Silence this month.

#Art #AfterSilence #Fantasy #Queer
A romantic fantasy illustration of two male humanoid characters holding each other closely at sunset. On the left, a brown-haired human man in a burgundy, Renaissance-style tunic smiles as he leans in. On the right, a purple-skinned, winged character with pointed ears, red eyes, and large bat-like wings gazes back at him. Their hands rest at each other’s shoulders and waist, faces close and expressions tender. Warm golden light, blurred festival banners, and a soft architectural backdrop suggest an outdoor celebration. A thin yellow ribbon trails from the human character’s wrist. The artwork is signed Hatwolf 2026.

A romantic fantasy illustration of two male humanoid characters embracing against a dark gray background. On the left, a brown-haired human man in a burgundy tunic with patterned sleeves smiles warmly as he leans in. On the right, a purple-skinned, demon-like character with pointed ears, red eyes, and large purple bat-like wings returns his gaze. They hold each other closely at the shoulders and waist, their faces inches apart, conveying intimacy and affection. A thin yellow ribbon trails from the human character’s wrist. The artwork is signed ‘Hatwolf 2026.’

A look at my last year of art. I'm overall very happy with my progress as an artist, but there is still a lot I need to improve on.

I worked freelance for most of the year, now I work as a concept artist fulltime. This will change how I approach art next year. Bigger focus on personal work 😁

A golden dragon with large outstretched wings stands proudly on a rocky cliff at sunset. Warm light from the low sun silhouettes the dragon’s horns and highlights its white mane and fluffy tail tip. Behind it, an autumn forest glows in red and orange tones under a soft, cloudy sky, giving the scene a calm, majestic atmosphere. The artist signature is in the lower right corner: "Hatwolf 2025".

A cheerful, fluffy dragon character is shown from the waist up, holding a steaming mug with both hands. The dragon has brown and cream fur, long dark hair, multiple black horns, and gold earrings. She smiles softly with closed eyes, looking cozy and content. Behind her is a teal circular background with small sparkles. Stylized text wraps around the circle, reading “Fluffy Dragon Season” in playful pink and green letters. A lineup of six large, detailed dragon characters from the fantasy world After Silence, shown in a size comparison chart against a dark background. From left to right: a small, slender insect-like dragon with pale segmented armor and glowing green wings; a sleek blue-gray dragon with bright teal fins; a rounder red-and-cream dragon with short horns; a tall brown dragon with curved horns and a shaggy red mane and a mechanical prosthetic foreleg; a pudgy, curvy light brown dragon with four horns, a muscular brown dragon with tan markings and swept-back horns; and finally the largest, a towering black-and-gold dragon with bright eyes and long horns. All stand in profile, wings tucked, highlighting their differing builds, heights, and designs. The After Silence logo appears in the top left, and the artist’s signature “Hatwolf 2025” is in the bottom right. A tall, eerie forest creature stands in an autumn woodland bathed in warm red and gold light. It has a goat skull for a head with large, spiraling horns adorned with small golden bells, and hollow, glowing eyes. Its long, thin arms end in dark, clawed hands, and it wears a cloak made entirely of layered brown leaves that drape to the ground. A spiked, vine-like tail curls behind it. The forest around it glows softly in orange hues, with trees bearing red leaves and fallen foliage carpeting the forest floor. The image has an otherworldly, mystical atmosphere, signed “Hatwolf 2025” and labeled “After Silence” in the bottom corners. An anthropomorphic goat wearing a traditional peasant dress stands in a warm, sunlit scene, holding a large rainbow Pride flag aloft. The flowing orange-and-brown skirt features floral embroidery, and her determined expression reflects a sense of celebration and solidarity. A wooden building and blooming flowers appear faintly in the background, emphasizing the joyful, uplifting atmosphere.

Santa Claus was unable to make it this year, so we're delivering the presents instead.

We... may have lost a few along the way. Oh well!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all!

A festive illustration of two canines riding a red sleigh through the sky at high speed. The wolf in front, wearing a red Santa hat and scarf, excitedly steers the sleigh, while the labrador dog laughs joyfully behind them as colorful wrapped presents fly through the air. Snow streaks past against a bright blue sky with clouds, emphasizing motion. The words ‘Merry Christmas’ appear in stylized lettering in the lower left corner. In the right corner is the artist logo and year: "Hatwolf 2025"

For WorldEmber, I wrote a small lore article about the legend, the poet, the bard of bards: Reynardo de Verdanza!

From who he is, to what made him the fox he is today.

#Art #Fantasy #AfterSilence #Fox #TTRPG #WorldBuilding
A richly colored illustration of a dashing fox character walking in a serene forest setting. The fox has reddish-brown fur with a white chest and muzzle, and their expression is confident and mischievous. They wear an elaborate fantasy outfit, including a teal cape with golden trim, fastened by a brooch shaped like an owl. A matching teal hat with a pink feather rests on their head, and a mandolin is slung over their shoulder, hinting at their bardic role. The background depicts tall trees bathed in soft golden light, creating an adventurous yet tranquil atmosphere. The artwork is detailed and framed with ornate patterns, with the artist's watermark, "Hatwolf 2024," visible in the corner.

Let's talk about Artfight Attack No. 7! It comes from @vixenbrushstudios.com, and it’s another amazing piece of my dragonwitch, Salama! This time she’s in a tarot card format as "The Magician", mid-spell ritual. The framing by the roses, top and bottom, is an especially nice touch <3 (1/5)
A detailed illustration of a red dragon with large wings and curved horns, perched on a stone ledge in a forest setting. The dragon wears a wide-brimmed white hat, a necklace with a glowing blue gem, and bracelets. They hold up one claw, conjuring a small swirl of blue magical energy. Below them on the stone are a golden chalice, a sword, and a pentacle coin, referencing tarot symbolism. Red roses and hanging vines frame the scene, with a bright blue sky in the background. Text at the bottom reads ‘The Magician,’ and the artwork is signed ‘MattsyKun 2025.’

Four stylized stone figurines resembling chess pieces are displayed side by side against a teal background with a decorative gold border. Each piece depicts an animal head carved in dark gray stone: a crow, a wolf, a frog, and a dragon. The sculptures have smooth, angular forms and sit on round bases with subtle blue accents, giving them an ancient, ceremonial appearance.

Kobold discovered a way to never run out of spell slots 😁

For Pack Tactics for an upcoming video!

A stylized illustration of a small blue kobold enthusiastically casting magic with multiple glowing wands. The kobold wears a green plaid garment and holds several bronze wands tipped with bright blue crystals, one in each hand, one in their mouth, and more bundled on their back. Arcs of luminous cyan magic swirl through the air in looping trails, connecting the wands and framing the character against a dark purple background. The kobold’s expression is excited and focused, mouth open mid-spell, with glowing energy emphasizing the chaotic, playful intensity of the magic. On the bottom right corner is the artist's signature and year, Hatwolf 2025.

They wear a long black coat, a teal vest with white buttons, striped trousers, and tall black boots. A bandolier across their chest carries several glowing vials in different colors, and a curved blade over a finger on their right hand. Beside them stands a strange, lizard-like monster with purple skin, four limbs, a long tail, and armored plates along its back. Its head is entirely made of writhing pink and purple tendrils surrounding a single large yellow eye. The background is a teal-to-navy gradient with decorative corner motifs and the title “After Silence” in stylized gold lettering.

A leather belt crosses their chest, holding several glowing vials in different colors. She wears multiple rings and fingerless gloves, and their right hand a curved, silver blade over one finger. The style is clean and detailed, with a fantasy-adventurer aesthetic. The artist signature “Hatwolf 2025” is in the bottom right corner.

A detailed character reference sheet of a light gray, quadrupedal dragon named Dragnir. The dragon has long, pale ivory horns, bright blue eyes, and a thick black mane that runs from the top of the head down the neck, chest, belly, and tail. Three headshots appear across the top: a neutral side view, an aggressive open-mouth roar, and a calm profile with three claw-mark scars across the cheek. Below these are two full-body views: one in a side pose showing the dragon’s broad wings, muscular build, and long tail with a tufted black tip, and one front-facing pose with wings spread wide. A small palette of grays, black, cream, and muted red is shown in the upper left. Background is textured blue. The artist signature “Hatwolf 2025” is in the bottom right.

A character reference sheet of the After Silence fantasy world showing three dryad designs by Hatwolf, 2025. Each dryad is humanoid but made of wood and plant elements, with glowing cores in their chests. From left to right: the Emberwood Dryad, with reddish bark, glowing orange cracks, and ember-like light from within; the Wickroot Dryad, dark and slender with bark-like armor and glowing purple eyes and leaves; and the Reed Dryad, tall and willowy with light brown bark, green hair resembling reeds, and orange mushrooms growing along their body. The background is a muted tan with gold borders and text labels beneath each dryad. A majestic, serpentine eastern dragon with dark blue and golden scales floats gracefully through a night sky. The dragon has long, flowing whiskers, white glowing antler-like horns, and sharp claws. Wisps of cloud swirl around its limbs as lightning arcs from its horns. Behind it, a bright full moon illuminates the sky, casting a soft glow on the clouds. The atmosphere is mystical and powerful, with a sense of awe and ancient energy. The artist's signature, “Hatwolf 2025,” is visible in the bottom right corner.

I officially declare the entire month of December to be Fluffy Dragon Season. Either your dragons are naturally fluffy (a mane counts too), or you can wrap them in a cosy scarf.

Who is with me?

Today I want to talk about the 7th attack I received during Artfight 2025! This time we have another artwork of Salama, my ever-popular dragonwitch, depicted in a wonderfully moody library setting. She’s holding a potion and giving the viewer that sly, knowing smile she’s famous for 😁 (1/5)
A red, pink-scaled dragon with white markings poses in a dimly lit library. She wears a wide-brimmed witch’s hat, its rim casting a shadow over their yellow, catlike eye. Curved ram-like horns frame her head. The dragon bares a sharp, glowing white set of teeth in a sly, confident grin. She holds a glass flask in one clawed hand as if preparing a potion. Behind her, shelves of books and bottles fade into darkness, illuminated only by a small candle burning beside them and a crescent-shaped blue light.

Top row, left to right: they smile confidently with sparkling effects beside her head; she clutches their cheeks with both hands and grins with glowing heart-shaped eyes; she looks shocked, eyes wide with yellow marks. Bottom row, left to right: she rests their chin on their hand with a skeptical, thinking expression; she laughs hard with eyes closed and tears of joy, head tilted back; she looks extremely nervous, sweating heavily with worried eyes and purple stress lines above her head.

From here on out, I have to go deeper into background, poses, animation and all kinds of stuff. Exciting 😁

#Art #Fantasy #Dragon #AfterSilence
A detailed character reference sheet of a male dragon named Suldren, from the fantasy world After Silence. The background is a textured reddish-purple. At the top left, stylized text reads: “Suldren. Species: Vaultfire Dragon. Gender: Male (He/Him). Occupation: Shaper of Form (Artisan) & First Dragon of Hoardwater Vale.” Across the top are three close-up headshots showing different expressions. Suldren is a black-and-gold dragon with glowing blue eyes, large ridged golden horns, gold facial plating, and orange-tipped frills. The first expression is neutral and composed, the second surprised with wide eyes and open mouth, the third weary or annoyed with half-closed eyes. Beneath these are small color thumbnails showing his palette. The center of the sheet features two full-body views: a left-facing profile and a front-angled pose. Suldren has broad wings with a yellow-to-orange gradient and black wing edges. His body is sleek and muscular, with black scales and golden armor-like plates on his belly, throat, and legs. Gold fleck markings appear on his shoulders and tail. On the right side is a small stylized gold dragon statuette matching his design. The After Silence logo is on the left side, and the artist’s signature “Hatwolf 2025” appears at the bottom right.
