artfight attacks FINAL ROUND: hehe wings :)
🦴 Azarie belongs to Allen_Harpen on AF
🦴 Calliope belongs to @noxhiemis.bsky.social
A digital illustration of Azarie, a humanoid with light brown skin, pointed ears, and shoulder-length white hair. He has massive peregrine falcon wings, the feathers dark gray and barred with a lighter brown, as well as a long tail tipped by a fan of matching feathers. His right wing is folded, while the left is partially extended away from him. Beneath them his clothing – a blue tunic, black shirt, and open-sided white trousers – are visible. He is drawn from behind, looking out at a sky tinged bright orange with twilight, as he stands in a field of tall grass with a wooden staff clutched in his hands. A black-faced sheep with fluffy white wool stands beside him, looking in the same direction. The artist’s signature sits at bottom center, dated JULY 2025. A digital illustration of Calliope, a siren woman, against a pale red background. She has pale skin, red markings around her eyes and very long hair that fades from light gray to nearly black; she also has the long wings, legs, and feet of an osprey, also in shades of gray. She is mid-dance; her face has a peaceful expression with eyes closed, her wings and arms are fully extended to the sides, and one leg is folded upwards into the fabric of her white chiton. In one hand she holds a golden lyre. The artist’s signature sits at bottom center, dated JULY 2025.

artfight attacks round 2!!!
🦴Marcy belongs to @sunshineara5.bsky.social
🦴 Willow belongs to insertpunhere on AF
🦴 Null belongs to friskyrisky on AF
A digital illustration of Marcy, a humanoid young woman, against a blue background. She has pale skin and black hair, with a longer wave of electric blue hair emerging from beneath it; one of her eyes matched this blue, while the other is solid white crystal. She wears a black ruffled skirt, black combat boots, and a black tank top over a sheer, wide-sleeved indigo shirt; she also has a silver belt and several matching chains hanging at her waist. She stands posed with one hand on her hip and the other pointing a thumb at herself, and smiling at the viewer. Above her head is a little glowing icon of devil horns and a halo of little glowing rays. The artist’s signature sits at bottom center, dated JULY 2025. A digital illustration of Willow, a young vampire woman who looks outwardly human; she has pale skin and light blond hair with faded blue dye at the tips, and wears a jacket patterned with little trefoil shapes over a dark blue striped shirt, and lighter blue striped pants. Willow is cast in dark blue shadow, lit from above in yellow; she looks up with an expression of wonder. The background is composed of segments of Art Deco-styled motifs in bright yellows and oranges and very deep blue; some segments evoke the appearance of the windows of a skyscraper, while others use repeating patterns of chevrons and dots. They radiate outwards from her like a full-body halo. The artist’s signature sits at bottom left, dated JULY 2025. A digital illustration of Null – a humanoid with a lanky, thin build and inky gray-black skin – against a pale purple background. He wears a plain red shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers; he also has a paper bag over his head, its front painted with a Roblox avatar face wearing sunglasses and smiling mischievously. Null leans casually with one elbow on a large sword the same color as his skin, and the other held palm-up; a small portal floats above his hand, and through it a Minecraft cherry blossom biome is visible. The artist’s signature sits at bottom left, dated JULY 2025.

AF attack posting time!!!! in round 1 we’ve got:
🦴 Desmond and Delilah for Somber on AF
🦴 Daffodil for @insomniahyena.bsky.social!!
A digital illustration of two spinxyn, Delilah and Desmond, against a mauve purple background. They are sphynx-like with human faces and catlike quadrupedal bodies. Delilah is very small, with fluffy purple fur and wings resembling a dragontail butterfly’s around her eyes and back; her back feet are clawed. She butts up against Desmond’s forehead, looking up at him adoringly. Desmond is very large and mostly unfurred, his skin covered in tattoos of barbed wire, celestial bodies, and thick black bands; his back feet are green-painted hooves, and he has a matching green horn on his forehead and small black wings around his head, legs, and tail. He sits on the ground, bent over to meet Delilah’s headbutt with a gentle smile. A chunky yellow starburst sits behind the place where their heads meet. The artist’s signature sits bottom center, dated JULY 2025. A digital illustration of Daffodil, an android with an extremely large and powerful build, clawed hands and feet, and small horns; she has light skin and a long mane of auburn hair, and teal plating on her arms and legs that matches the color of her horns and claws. A long mechanical tail tipped with a grasping arm extends behind her. Daffodil sits in a grassy meadow, wearing a red sundress; her fingers delicately weave together a flower crown of black-eyed susans. A derelict warehouse is visible behind her, its walls overgrown with greenery, and in the distance a forest is visible. The artist’s signature sits at bottom right, dated JULY 2025.

artfight is imminent, so here’s where to find me!!
an Art Fight intro card for Team Fossils. my username is killldeer, and both the “friendly fire” and “revenge” boxes are checked; the “I attack…” box lists anything bug-related; troll OC’s; things with wings; and YOU. I have human and monster-ish characters, and have also added fantrolls in the “other” box. The featured characters are Pella, a person with light brown skin and red-brown hair; Kirxes, a young man with pale skin and very dark long hair; Kell, a red tiefling with white vitiligo and insect horns; Sam, a man with sunburned skin and extremely long blond hair; and Kaanon, an indigo-blooded fantroll with long floppy ears.

thinking so hard about these two and their arcs during book 7. i miss them
A small ink drawing of Mat Cauthon from the Wheel of Time series, drawn from the knees up and colored with mildliner markers. He is a lanky young man with light brown skin and very dark wavy brown hair, which reaches nearly to his shoulders. He is standing with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a polearm engraved with birds, looking to the right with a small smile. Mat wears a wide-brimmed black hat, a dark green coat over a plain shirt and pants, and a black scarf; a medallion depicting a fox’s head hangs around his neck. He is lit from one side by a reddish light. A small ink drawing of Nynaeve al’Meara from the Wheel of Time series, drawn from the knees up and colored with mildliner markers. She is a woman with narrow frame, light brown skin, and darker brown hair in a very long braid, which she holds with one hand as she looks to the left with a concerned expression, her body turned the other way and her arms crossed. She wears a short-sleeved blue dress; a large gold ring sits on a chain around her neck, and a satchel and a sheathed knife hang at her waist. She is lit from one side by a bright yellow light.

ooo it might be time for another dragon reborn squad redraw. it’s been ~2.5 years since the first one, which was itself abt 2.5 years after i made the original art. i was also still posting mostly to twitter at the time, so it would be good to get some wheel of time art up on here and on tumblr :0

happy tenth birthday to my favorite nocturnal goofballs :)
a digital lineup of four original glowans, a homestuck fanspecies with different numbers of pupils in their eyes, white skin and glowing orbs at the ends of antennae and long tails which are tinted by a unique primary blood color, and hair and tail fur tinted a unique secondary color. On the left is Aeros, an eight-pupiled glowan with an electric green primary color and short, curly indigo hair; she looks up at Kyyri, a two-pupiled glowan with a cyan primary, antennae that curl out like pigtails, and short bright yellow hair. He looks towards Aeros, his hands behind his back. Next is Kaori, a short four-pupiled glowan with their hands thrown up excitedly; they have an olive green primary and wavy magenta hair. On the right is Bakra, a tall five-pupiled glowan; he has a lime-green primary and pale brown secondary shot with streaks of slate blue. He stands with his arms crossed, looking at everyone else with a small smile. the words “10 YEARS OF NIGHTSIDERS!” are written above them.
