Here are some other Art Fight attacks from this year! These are @foxggie and @mystickinz characters, Alex and Sol respectively. I based these ones on their hobbies, namely reading and collecting earrings.

[personwho1s]

Friend wanted their CAIN character in a Slugblaster AU. Which is just about the best commission request I could hear.

Process beneath cut:

[thebugaboy]

Anvil "Annie" Jhason: 46 She/Her Draconic Sorcerer Earth Genasi

She works for a villain organization as the head of security and as an assassin. Unfortunately her ex-wife Marianne got fed up with Annie hiding her job from her and the two of them got a divorce. This year would have been their 20 year anniversary if Annie had gotten her shit together. The two of them have two children together, aged 13 (Aaron) and 10 (Michelle), whom Annie adores. Aaron blames Annie for the divorce, albeit correctly.

She has an emotional support pet, a chicken named Malarkey, who she raised as a chick. Malarkey is an odd chicken, and he likes to misbehave and light himself on fire seemingly at random (this does not harm him).

Art Fight

An art gifting game

[thebugaboy]

my oc horizon!!! they prefer their middle name because it feels more "them" than the name her parents gave him. I used the hero forge photo years ago to visualize their design, then drew them traditionally. Later on I made a dragon version of him, which is super fitting. Recently I digitalized the traditional piece, and they look perfect!!! They go to a school that has an all black dress code, and after running away from home he finally feels comfortable expressing himself with her clothes. They're half red eyed tree frog, and half poison dart frog! When they eat a certain diet, they become poisonous to the touch, but their new academy doesn't have that diet, so they're able to touch non family members for the first time.

Found it!

[onetallday-deactivated20180218]

I am No ARTEEST, but I’m going to save this for my future reference. Thanks. 

[thebugaboy]

I drew my ponysona for this month's VGen challenge!!! I thought it would be cool to draw him as a more realistic horse. Alt version after the keep reading :)

[mollyjames]

There are a lot of people who start creative projects with no business or financial plan, because "who cares, it isn't important, we'll figure that out later". And you can't let yourself become that person. Not because I'm a sneering finance bro who thinks your woke animated youtube series wont make money, but because if you don't you'll wind up financially exploiting your friends for years

[mollyjames]

Look, it's none of my business if you wanna work yourself to the bone for no money so you can make your dream project a reality. I think you shouldn't, but also let's be real that's basically a rite of passage for young creatives. But as soon as you start involving other people? You need a plan. You need to be able to compensate them for their time, and you need to have it in writing

[karthonic]

For freelancers: I recommend getting yourself a copy of the Graphic Artists' Guild Handbook: Pricing and Ethical Guidelines for reference-- the newest one dropped last year (I have the 16th edition). It helps you figure out your pricing, how to create a contract for various projects (and you can access free PDFs of templates you can use to modify for your own projects)! It's a good place to start and refer to-- even colleagues who are decades in the business (and former Guild Members too) still use it.
