I made a mistake.
I dared to challenge all of my friends and mutuals (and some artists that I look up to, but I'll get to that...) at Artfight, and I got jumped. As you can see, I'm barely holding on after war broke out, but before I wound up like this... Here were all of my attacks:
I've been waiting since last year's failed attack to strike this good IRL friend of mine... And FINALLY, I got to do just that!
☆ THE PRINCE (and curd) ☆
I LOVE STP X UTMV UUUUUGHHHHH
Cough- Okay. The MOMENT I remembered @neverniko101 was participating in Artfight was the moment I actually locked in on Artfight in general. As one of the first artists I began following when I started using Tumblr, this AU and its creator is pretty special to me. Did I mention I just like STP x UTMV??
☆ SIR JIMMINGS (and hex) ☆
For another IRL friend, I wanted to do something silly... And who better to hire for silliness than yours truly, chaos incarnate? <3
☆ MISERY (and nightshade) ☆
One of the first attacks I got was a SICKASS animation of Phosphor, so naturally I had to initiate a revenge attack... just ignore the fact that I forgot to list that this was a revenge attack ahaha...
Read up on some of Misery's lore, safe to say he's going to be a reason I get obsessed with Dreamtale lore AGAIN... very interesting guy, what can I say? Thanks again, @tealeafalo!
uuughgjdkfgd KISS ALREADY YOU FOOLS!! 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Mmm... lesbians... aren't they awesome... If only we also had an awesome gay couple alongside them... and what if they all had magic powers... and used those powers to fight a corrupted government... yeah... that sounds pretty awesome. someone should really make that a series, don't you think @fourghn-t?
...this is your cue to go support his show, Project Gemini. cmon. it's pretty awesome...
Another revenge attack! ...that I once again forgot to list as a revenge attack, goddamn it- I think Moto is very badass, so I obviously had to make him hit the Akira slide. Also, I just want to shoutout this reference image of him for having very pretty colors that I snatched for this attack. <3 Can't wait to see more of your work, @dustyoldbones!
YOU.
YOU JUMPED ME THREE TIMES THIS ARTFIGHT!?
...Obviously, I had to repay you by drawing both of your PEAK dreamtale sibling designs!! Thank you for everything, @thechibiestdemon!!!
...So back to me getting jumped, yeah?
You guys. Sent me. SO MANY GODDAMN ATTACKS... and I love all of them. Genuinely, I get so happy seeing fanart of any shape and size, and dude... you guys outdid yourselves this year...
Here's some of my personal favorites!
Mercury, VEYN and Phosphor
All three of @thechibiestdemon's attacks!
A truly terrific piece by @sethdomain
wait so is it time for some murder or for some chaos??? you guys better make up your minds...
A returning attacker that I was NOT expecting as Artfight began to near its end. If I didn't get sidetracked, I would have attacked Renevou for a second time, but alas... I'll just have to wait for Artfight 2027...
Until then, @nashdoesstuff...
"We all pretend to be the heroes on the good side"
Hero casually wiping that shit-eating grin off of Shattered's face and leaving him looking genuinely concerned has me giggling ngl... Absolutely adore this piece from @totallynotabug
And of course, I have to end this off with easily the biggest surprise I've gotten during Artfight...
i've already posted my response to this masterpiece but hoooly... cannot and will not get over how good these boys look. hex's poses are NASTYYYY... <333
FINALLY, someone's captured how FINE I look... Oh, and the purple one's here too, I guess...
if I haven't convinced you already, let me try again: PLEASE GO CHECK OUT NEVERNIKO'S WORK THEY MAKE REALLY COOL SHIT AND PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO THEIR STUFF
As a reminder, thank you everyone who participated and attacked! At first, I was a little iffy about partaking in Artfight, but this year has especially convinced me that doing so is super incredibly worth it. I've been struggling with motivation and art block for a hot minute, so this has been a way for me to lock in on making passion projects for the people I care about and look up to.
See you guys back here in 2027!~ ☆
