Art Fight
Cause a little chaos today, just because you can :)
so I got this really cool art of my lovely gays (phighting ocs) for one of the secret Santas I did this last holiday season, and knew I wanted to try and animate it eventually.
hey guess what I finished the sketch? base? of at like midnight last night
Here is the full art in all its beauty separate too bc ik its kinda hard to see and also its so prettyyyyyy
made by the incredible @.stomachayx btw (go look at their art please its so good and yummy and amazing)
Ive probably rambled about these two before but these are Disco(Yellow horns) and Wolf(blue horns). They are two of my phighting ocs who i adore dearly and theyre daring but like no one in the public knows at all bc they both have mysterious backstoriess oooo (not rlly they both just care about protecting the other too much to risk making them a target :P)
ive never really. animated like this before. like at all. the most animation ive done is silly little animation memes that are loops and kinda sorta basically tweening. I have never done this much movement before in an animation.
I am so very excited to continue and finish this omg I think it's actually going to look so good. I just hope it doesnt somehow burn me out before artfight bc I have so many ppl I want to attack omg there's so many pretty art out there from so many people its amazing.
also i made this on flipaclip. on my phone. and mostly while technically at work, but thats besides the point. and the 1-2am nights dont count either. it was technically the weekend.
wow I got off track. uhm. I rlly like my gays, im rlly excited to animate then, thank you ayx for this beautiful piece of art for me again I love it sm.
Got reminded that it was disco day thing in that really cool boombox thing my friend @.a-cr0w-n made and well… I kinda had to :)
(Some rambles below cut)
BOOMBOX AND DISCO OUTFIT SWAPPPPP
I saw a post of someones art for today (I cannot remember who and I am so sorry but it looked so cool I remember that) and it was Disco day and well, I have a phighting oc named Disco.
It was right there ok how could I not draw it immediately??
Silly little passing friends, me thinks. They know eachother and like chatting during phights atleast :D
Also Disco is in absolute awe of how comfy Boombox’s cloths are for how they look and also loving the cool stuff he has on his visor screen thing (I hc that he has like a ui menu in there,,, smiles)
Boombox is just giggling at her tbh his reaction is funny to him (and loving their big jacket too,,)
edit: added the actually A-BB-ril image bc apparently I forgot it and didn't realize until now (4 days later-)
I made a fun little thing of some of the art I did throughout this last year, and thought id share it! (also kind of later than i wanted this to be bc i wasnt home for the weekend directly after new years)
(No, Tumblr did not crunch the quality of the art above, I had to shrink them a ton to make the showcase image not huge (my canvases are at least 1kpx usually) just go below the cut to look at the full and not crunchy images/animations)
I'm going to do this by month, ok? Ok. I'm American(yay /sar), so its all M/D/Y
And I'm going to ramble a lot little bit too, ok? cool.
January 27, 2025 - ASPHYXIATE Animation Meme, P! OC Timebomb
I was introduced to Phighting In December of 2024, and by the time the new year hit and got like a month or two in, I found myself in possession of a hyper fixation that was far larger than my previous one and was just kinda sitting there, and so I did what any normal person would do, and made an OC out of it :D
Timebomb is my first of quite a few P! OCs, and though they aren't quite my favorite, they have the most development and backstory out of everyone else. Also being the first they're my baby and if anything else happened to them i would kill everyone in this room and then myself (/ref silly)
This animation was made as a way to show some of the different stages/events in their life, and I had a lot of fun experimenting with the (at the time) new and block-y Roblox style. The progression of the events is as follows: Young Timebomb(when they lived in/freshly left Playground), The IncidentTM(when Timebomb accidently activated their gear and exploded themselves while trying to modify it), Recovery(a bit self explanatory, no? Timebomb recovering from the incident), and Present Time!
Also old Timebomb design is weird to look at (literally three things changed)
February 3, 2025 - Double Trouble Animation Meme, P! Valk and Dom
When I started work on Double Trouble is probably where my hyper fixation fully kicked in. iirc a good chunk of the motivation behind this was because i didn't find a whole lot of Valk and Dom stuff on yt, so I wanted to add more to the mix :3
Also for anyone that wants to draw their gears, they are pain. The amount of times i remember adjusting the size and proportions fo things but like the tiniest amount and it still not looking right was fucking wild. I got there and im happy with what they do look like, but jeez it was hard. Dom's megaphone specifically bc of the angle and the way megaphones just are.
I also played with Clip Studio EX for this one too, and made the animation entirely in the program. It was so incredibly laggy by the end of it because of how many layers and keyframes and things I had in the file omg it was hell but it also turned out so good and im so happy with it and i love it so much they are the brothers ever and i love them
March 17, 2025 - ATYCHIPHOBIA Subspace Fanart
I made this one like two days after ATYCHIPHOBIA came out, and i literally was listening to it on repeat for both of those two days, and atleast another couple after too. Yes i am aware i likely have a problem however screw you I love and hate Subshits character. Yes i called him Subshit :P
This was also one of the first drawing i did in Procreate on my iPad, said iPad being at the time only like a month or so old. It was a fun way to explore the new drawing app and to test out a fun shading style!
April 14, 2025 - SHIMMER Animations Meme, P! Subspace
When i started making Shimmer was around the time my Subspace fix came into full swing. Said swing hasnt exactly stopped, but thats besides the point.
I had originally planned to animate the whole thing in Flip-a-clip to give myself a bit of a challenge as well as to re-familiarize myself with flip-a-clip animating since its been a loooooong time since ive really done anything in it, but ended up doing literally only the storyboard in flip-a-clip before moving to procreate to make the separate pieces. I had the idea of animating it in procreate too but decided to not buy whichever procreate version is the animating one so i ended up doing it in CSP again.
Can you tell I like Subspace yet? No? Wow surprising. Yeah my friends have told me i simp for him and i mean they arent exactly wrong but also yes I am well aware of how terrible of a person he is, however that does not stop the brain worms from saying he can be fixed (not i can fix him (i am well aware i cannot), but he can be. probably.)
May 19, 2025 - The Chosen Four, P! SSIAU Fanart (au by @.crumbsispoggers, def should go read its amazing)
This fic. omfg this fic. It is absolutely beautiful, and i cried at least one while reading it. I mean that in the best way possible go read it rn please :D
The story is essentially Alternate Version of Scythe, Coil, Boombox, and Shuriken (called Rifle, Frost, Sonnet, and Shurileaf) all die and get isekai-ed into the OG universe and omg its amazing so far. Im so excited to see what happens next and this fic is also part of the reason im so extra excited for new Crossroads.
I based all of these drawing by the last chapter of each characters prologues, and tried ot base the drawings off of what i interpreted of their storied and personalities. Also glowy bits everywhere because I thought it was really cool and fun looking and it is and i love them all so much. Fun fact I've drawn Sonnet too all by himself because I love boombox and also Sonnet gave me one of my fav bb headcannons; Darkheart child :D
June 11, 2025 - P! OC PB(Poison Butterfly) Ref Sheet
PB is yet another one of my beloved Phighting OCs. They are the spawned child of another OC, Bow, and her partner Dark. All three of them are ex-Darkage Clan members, but until more is known about the Darkage Clan and other factions, the reason why they left the faction will remain unknown.
To be completely honestly i made PB to make an oc with the Poisonous Butterfly gear bc i started seeing alot of poisonous butterfly OCs on my feeds (cough cough toxin cough cough) and so i made one of my own.
Yes, PB technically has wings. Yes i know that Inphernals cannot have wings unless they are related to the SFOTH. No PB is not related to a SFOTH. My characters are cannon-compliant and not canon-accurate. I comply with the rules of the Phighting universe as much as I can, but sometimes i do go against them for the sake of chaarcter design and story. To work around the cannon issue of the SFOTH wings thing, PB cannot in any way use their wings to fly. They can at most glide, but even then their wings are incredibly weak and fragile, and dont hold them up for very long.
They also use their wings as a sort of cloak, a scarf with a long back covering what points would give away that their cloak is their wings. It's incredibly hard to tell that their cloak is their wings without seeing them unfold/stretch them or being told, even by touch.
July 13, 2025 - Winter and his Guardians, P! SSIAU Icedagger ft co. Fanart (yes same au, but an au of the au)
Meet Icedagger and the Seven Winter Guardians! Icedagger is one of my fav characters and seeing him get whats basically just his own version of Ghostwalkers Watchers (Ghostdeeri, Doomsekkar, etc) made me happy so i just had to draw all of them.
Holy fuck do i hate drawing feet and hands. Literally any other part of the body and I'll be fine. Ill complain a little, but Ill draw it and be happy with it in the end. Feet and Hands? I hate them. so much. theyre so hard for no reason at all. I put effort into the shoes and so made glove hands. That was the price to pay, i could only put enough motivation into making one of them look good, not both. Seriously though, I am happy with how all the poses turned out in this piece. This is my piece of artwork with the most amount of characters in it that i think i've ever done.
I played with some lighting and shading effects in this piece too, trying to make all of their faces brighter and have an almost glow in the otherwise dark and icy cave i put them all in. Speaking of the background too, I pretty much completely improvised it. I had a rough idea of what i wanted, but i didnt really make the background until i had already drawn and colored all the way.
August 8, 2025 - P! OC Disco Ref Sheet
Disco is, surprise surprise, another Phighting OC! Also my favorite of them because she's just a silly flirty bartender! Totally! Definitely! And They're totally not crazy and a fucking psychopathic yandere who will protect his family and lover at any cost! Nope! Not at all!
Anyways, Disco is my favorite of my p! ocs, and also probably he most fucked up of them all. Do those two have a correlation to each other? Probably, but I'm too busy being giddy about making them gay asf with her partner to worry about that.
Yes, Disco has a romantic partner! Who would've guessed, its another OC, Wolf! They are incredibly gay for eachother and incredibly adorable and the next art definitely is not related to them at all i dont know what your talking about.
I gave Disco a bun hc off accessories and bright colors because they are the type of character to stand out in a crowd, even of people dressed in the same way. The star charm hanging from her left horn is interchangeable, and she owns three different colors of star; Pink, Blur, and Purple, colors to represent whichever gender he's feeling at the time! He's Genderfluid :D
September 2, 2025 - 1-800 Animation Meme, P! OCs Disco and Wolf
I lied it was about them. By the time I started 1-800, I had been drawing in this silly little Roblox style of mine for a while, and had also recently developing a fixation on my own sillies, so this was produced out of it :D Fun fact! I made this the week/weekend of my Birthday while in the middle of the woods camping with family with no service. I think this was the first time i made something without using really any kind of references, because i literally could not look up any. I had the images already saved to my ipad and phone, and that was it.
The final version of this animation is also slightly different than what i originally had in mind too. Originally, i wanted Disco to give off way more psycho vibes at the end of her little part and kind of almost possessive at the end end, but i didnt quite get it the way i wanted to. I still got it pretty good I think, but I also may end up remaking this in the future when i have a few more art tricks up my sleeves to really capture what I want to capture.
Also my sillies are so gay and i love them so much. The couple ever.
October 7, 2925 - Misfit Toys, P! OC Disco ft The Rosebuds Key Art
More Disco art! Can you tell who I like yet? This piece i gave the label of Key Art to, and its kind of like how the Key Arts in the official P! Wiki are labeled, or at the very least used; Pieces of art that are important representation of the Character. atleast thats how i interpret them, so thats what this is! Around this time, I also made two other Key Arts for other OCs, they just didnt make the years favs list lol.
This also includes some more OCs that are very important to Disco's story, The Rosebuds! Thats just a fancy name for them though, The four surrounding Disco are friends-turned-found-family! Theyre all pretty near in age, and all met and live in Playground. They are all incredibly close to eachother. I love me some found family tropes.
November 30, 2025 - Just a Completely Normal Guy, Hermitcraft s11 Joel Smallishbeans Fanart
Some fun and totally normal art of a Mr. Joel Smallishbeans of Hermitcraft! With Season 11 started up, My Hermicraft and general MC hyperfixation has come back to join Phighting in taking up all of my brain space, so I drew the silly clown man with a comically large hammer!
I experimented a ton with lighting and shading and also just kind of color in general with this piece, and I really the way both versions of it turned out. Proper lighting and shading especially with cloths is lowky kind of intimidating to me, so I had to constantly reference a piece a friend of mine made a while ago bc i really like the way they shade and wanted to do it kind of like they did it.
Also im mentioning it again but I absolutely love the idea of Joel having just a giant ass fucking hammer as a weapon model this season. I think it would be so funny especially with how much he likes messing with the mace sometimes a giant clown hammer mace would just be beautiful.
December 15, 2025 - Secret Santa Gift, Woobie Boombox (WBB by @lowpoly-cat)
This one is a Secret Santa Gift! I participated in two Secret Santa's this year, and this one only got the fav spot bc i really like the way the background turned out (even if woobie is blocking most of it). I genuinely freehanded the shape of the flipside tower by opening phighting and positioning y mouse so that the screen wouldnt move to the sides then just drew the shape. Im so happy with how it turned out too.
Also this piece took fav over the other bc Phighting and Boombox and i love the both of those things sm. Im normal about this game and its silly little characters i promise you. Woobie Boombox!!
Artpiece of the Year (aka my fav), August 25, 2025 - Phighter Hug!
My favorite piece of the year is also kind of ironically the piece i drew myself for my Birthday. I made this based off an image base i found on Pinterest to use as reference, and just filled in my favorite Phighting characters for all the little bean things that were in the arms. Scythe, Subshit, Boombox, Vine Staff, Ghostdeeri, and The Dollmaker.
I really like all the little expression i gave them all too. I tried to make the expression match both the character and the original expression from my reference, and placed everyone to fit that. Scythe is probably yelling yehaw, Sub is plotting evil plots, Boombah is being a little joyous boy, Ghostdeeri is curious and observing, Vinestaff is squimshed, and Dollmaker is a bit distant.
Why i like all of these silly little fellers so much i could not tell you, but i love them and i cant wait for more merch. Gotta collect them all after all :D
Now that my multitude of rants are over, I'm actually really happy with how all of my (finished) pieces turned out this year!! I think it might be just a tad bit obvious what I've hyperfocused on for like the entire year lol
Phighting is awesome and I love this silly little roblox game sm
Happy New Year everyone and heres to hoping for a better year than last!
