ArtFight 2026 #3 - Viggo for mxxnheart

The result of some experimenting in Blender. Also first time using Grease Pencil to animate the strings and bells (didn't turn out perfect, but I'm excited to keep using it and improve)

art comes from humanity

Well. If the shoe fish

[nindrawsthings]

I am working on more artfight attacks (and I've received some wonderful pieces I fully intend to revenge!), I'm just wilting in the heat currently. There's one that's almost done I'm quite proud of! But today I need to have lots of liquids and lie still for a bit

[chalkrub]

First attack of the fight! Had to kick it off with another d&d hare, Mars Swiftfoot for Starcapacitor. This guy has been in my bookmarks since last year!

Come follow me on artfight!

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?

It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

[zheida]

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"

Hiroshi Nagai's paintings need sunglasses to look at.

They look like how it feels to walk across a parking lot on a 98° summer day without a speck of shade in sight.

They look like heaven but also like you'd burn your bare feet on the ground.

Even when you can see shade you know it's not enough and the minute you step out you'll be burnt to a crisp like a vampire.

And it's BEAUTIFUL

I'll throw in the wonderful Eizin Suzuki into this ring too, a man whose work just breathes light without actually using dynamic lighting in the usual way. It's no surprise both Nagai and Suzuki are both considered prolific in art pertaining to the city pop genre because they're able to paint these kinds of scenes with a delicate touch.

This feels like I could trip on that radio and fall right into that water, feeling the crystal waves as I drop in.

And this, a nice stroll down a resort strip, where my sunscreened skin could literally feel cooked if I leaned too close to the tiling.

And then a nice stretch of summer street, wherein you could see your face in the flushed red of that car provided it didn't blind you from its sunny reflections.

I don't think I even need to say anything more, Suzuki's a massive influence in how he even places colours so warmly in such unorthodox manner. It's a naturally sunkissed talent~ 🌊

[nindrawsthings]

Here's my artfight card!! I got swamped with work so there's one ref for the middle guy I'll post later tonight and another ref I need to finish, it'll just be a day or so late. I'm just leaning into the hare hyperfixation at this point because 2026 is the year of drawing what we enjoy. Have a good fight everybody!

i wanted to make a little artfight goal sheet for everyone to use :'] i tried to keep it as beginner friendly as i could!

[crabussy]

HOLY SHIT WAIT. CAVE PAINTINGS DRAGON. everyone hold your horsies I will be back

[crabussy]

hi. had dinner. it was really good I had a mustard incident. back to the dragon I hope you are all still holding your horsies for me

[crabussy]

thank you for holding your horsies. now check this horsie out. almost burst into tears drawing this. felt like I was part of something. hi humanity!!!!!! let's make art together!

they're fine, don't worry. they're a deity of human survival. they are the joy of the hunt and the feast, they are the wonder of art and human connection, they are the stories on the wall. and they love humankind.

I imagine they can be as small as a horse or as big as a blue whale. they're impossibly graceful. spotting them in the far distance means your hunt will be easy and successful. they are as solid as rock but their fur is soft and warm like a boulder in the sun. only a few humans have ever met them face to face, and those who have are allowed to add their hand print to their tail.
