Art Fight

An art gifting game

Third year doing this, very excited. I created 7 new refs, and updated 3, on top of making this card and thumbnail border for attacks.

I want to try and make at least twice as much attacks as I did in previous years, so about 30, but we’ll see how that goes. I feel I’ve become significantly more comfortable drawing digitally, so I don’t think it will be too hard. I’ll also be revenging everyone who attacks me, smile :)

This is a ref for art fight

My fictional world is composed of fractals and abstract shapes, a lot of weird stuff, and coming up with unique character designs has been fun. I found sticking to a theme with each character has helped significantly, especially since their form is not consistently the same over time, even over just a few seconds. I decided this character should be made up of a bunch of ribbon-like shapes, which bend and contort to give the impression of arms and legs.

Broken

Imagine being one of one thousand clones, but instead of being like them, you came out a bit wrong. Imagine trying so hard to “fit in”, despite knowing that no matter what you do, their eyes won’t stop following you. Imagine trying to cry to yourself about it, but instead of cooling your cheeks, your tears boil and rip at your flesh. That’d be crazy right.

I discovered tessellations… I mean I knew about them but I also didn’t know about them. Uhhhh here’s a wip (kinda)

There’s technically certain method of doing this efficiently but instead of doing that I just did it my own way and drove myself insane in the process.

dood doodles

Melano is their name, and apparently they created our universe. However, because they live on a different dimensional plane from us, they comprehend it as something completely different, that being, a large gallery of flat sheets of paper.

Uh hey yeah designing this guy is fun. Love drawing shapes, and this guy is so shaped that they are the shapes. Shapes!!

Unwilling Martyr 2025

This print was so much fun to make, and it had so many layers, both literally and figuratively. The base for the print is a sheet of white printmaking paper, and in between that and the ink is a thin sheet of gampi that I dyed and cut to shape. The linoleum block with the carved design was cut into a handful of pieces so that I could have a crisp two colors printed for the piece—gold and black. I would ink the block as separate parts and then piece the parts together like a puzzle on the press.

As for the imagery in the print, this is an inherently feminist piece. I intentionally chose a belted kingfisher as the main subject, a species named for the orangish bellyband present only on females of the species. The composition is a nod to Catholic iconography, and the title of the print is in reference to religious martyrs. The piece is meant to speak to the injustices and (unwilling) martyrdom of women both in many religions, and in an increasingly controlling society.

I'll be doing a pretty long making-of process post over on my Patreon soon if you're interested in that! I'll be including a lot of images of the process, from the initial sketch to the linoleum block chopped into 5 different sections for inking.

The struggle to come up with the weirdest shapes and color combos possible is very rewarding (this one is kinda experimental)

This post is a few days late but uhhhh art fight year 2 is done, here’s some highlights:

Characters belong to these users in order: StormyTheSoukeyi, Lucid_xx, Curlew

I made 14 attacks this year, which is a little bit more than last year. I wanted to do more, but there was a week in July that I was out of town and couldn’t attack as much… might have lost momentum from that as well. I was also more experimental. The style of shading I used last year for everything wasn’t really working for me for some reason, so I branched out hoping something else would make me happy. In some cases it did, in other cases it did not. I shall learn. Anyways, it was super fun as always, I look forwards to next year.

I finally finished the last ref sheet I absolutely needed to make… so now I think it’s appropriate to post this.

Second year woah. I made 9 new ref sheets… I wanted to make more, but I ain’t got time for all that. I’m excited though, last year was really cool.
