@Shrubie.bsky.social 's Milo, poor TF magnet that they are, has been transformed into a black cat to serve as a witch's familiar for the month!

#SunsetAriaComm #Halloween2025

A digital watercolour sketch of former nonbinary human Milo, freshly transformed into a small, fluffy black cat. Their bright blue eyes and fluffy hair are preserved in this new form, but they are otherwise entirely transformed, standing up on their hind legs with a wide-eyed expression, one paw resting on a glowing red pendant around their neck. Their too-big clothes can be seen around them, their tail still propping up the hood of their hoodie from where they crawled out from underneath.

SkybornRocket's robot dragon, 457-R4-1701 (it/its pronouns), delights itself in dressing up as a Tolkien-styled elf. Fantasy meets sci-fi!

#SunsetAriaComm #Halloween2025

A digital watercolour sketch of a humanoid robot (pronouns: it/its) with long purple hair, a thick metal collar with a Master Ball, bulky rectangular "wings", and a thick dragon's tail. It's dressed in a breezy white dress with silvery green accents of flowing filigree, flowers, and leaves, including some silvery "elven ear cuffs" covering the tall mechanical ears connected to its visor. It has a serene expression, reaching out to a hologram of a glowing butterfly.

This year for Halloween, Amber leans into the power of mean girls, dressing up as Susie from Deltarune! She's even using some of her shapeshifting to be stronger, sharper, and wilder than usual, appropriate for cosplaying best girl~

Amber has dressed up as Susie from Deltarune, wearing her signature Dark World outfit of a dark vest, purple outfit, and spiked bands. She stands with her axe resting over her shoulders, sharing a shark-toothed grin with the viewer. Even her usual demilynx features have shifted to be a bit more Susie-like, with scaled hands and claws, long wild hair, and a more muscular physique.

History of Hyrule, Zelda Archivist @historyofhyrule.com · 10d

This has always been one of my favorite #Zelda Link's Awakening/Link to the Past pieces. It's from The Legend of Zelda 4 Koma Gekijou Vol. 6, published by Enix, and you can find the full scans here: archive.org/details/zeld...

I believe the artist may be Hiroyuki Makino カバーイラスト

I can draw anything. I can make characters as abstract or grounded as I please. I can put them in peril or paradise at the flick of a wrist and the wisp of a whim. I can tear them to shreds and they'll be fine because I decide they're fine. Because it's all fake. You are trying to chain daydreams

You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored.
