I am still alive!! but have been posting pretty much only to magma since their gallery feature got going.

I'll try to wrangle a few highlight posts before art fight comes around! I mostly draw other people's OCs there so I need to think about if I should/can bring those onto a new platform. But at the least, I've got new art of the handful of– the few– a couple– I've got art of Persi and Violet, mostly.

And a bunch of Zooble and Murderbot. I'm a simple guy.

Idk if making art memes is considered lame now but idc, I rarely find ones I want to do so I made my own lol. I'll be reblogging it to my own art blogs for requests, but feel free to save & use if you wanna!

I participated in the @mbd-gift-exchange for the first time this year and was very lucky to be matched with @ilovedthestars!

For any Murderbot Diaries fans that stumble across this, check out Star's OCs through her writing on AO3, and writing and art on tumblr!

Niri returns from a successful mission accompanied by a newly freed SecUnit. Aybee is there before Niri can put its bag down.

And a bonus Niri because I would die for this SecUnit

meowdy, and here's a little art challenge for december my minnows and i have been cooking up! i know month long art challenges can be kind of intimidating to some people, so i figured making a week long one could encourage people to give longer challenges a try!

if you'd like to share your designs, please do so to '#brush week 2025'! ill be checking the tag and sharing some of the cool ones i see!

Been doing a lot of overthinking and not finishing art! Today I drew a cat.

Now that art fight is over, I had time for a character design project. An Adventure Time character for my roommate, tarot princess!

These are some of the ArtFights I did this year for the big 25!

(This was my first ArtFight btw and I may or may not have joined right smack dab in the middle of it and was not prepared in the slightest, but it was still super cool! And you wanna know who else is super cool?

[violetcyclops]

Thank you again for drawing Persi!! Next year you're at the top of my attack list!

My final card for @reptilehaus' 2025 Art Fight Bingo was tragically not a winner, but it was still very fun and a good way to get around art block mid-game!

I did have the thought that maybe... if I count attacks for multiple boxes... maybe if I count the couple WIPs I finished after the game ended... but nah, still no bingo lol

Post-Art-Fight Revenge #1 features Crunch and Melon for @treacherousdeerart, who has several dozen incredible character designs that you should go look at.

I'm a person of simple tastes. I see a character described as loving anime, I plop her into one of the first anime I ever watched.

note: Melon is standing on a box to make the screenshot redraw work, don't worry about it.

[violetcyclops]

Attack #6 was a majestic cookie for marley_clover, who drew Persi looking absolutely adorable

This was my last completed attack but I've got a few WIPs that I intend to finish and post anyway!

[violetcyclops]

Art Fight Attack #5 was Velaris' OC Aisling

The fight may be over now, but maybe go check out Velaris' profile anyway!

[violetcyclops]

Attack #4 was Kit and Irene, two demon sisters who are bonding after time apart and trauma that they can't quite talk about

Check out ItsJammer's profile on art fight!

[violetcyclops]

Attack #3 was these two iiiitty bitty kitties, best friends Frenchy (@eldritchtree) and KC

This was my first craft attack for art fight and it won't be my last, but it WILL be my smallest! Painting eyes on faces the size of my thumbnail went disastrously several times before the final forms came together.

Bonus turnarounds that turned into silly stop-motion

The figures started out as little resin cat figurines that I sculpted fluff and features onto with air dry clay, then painted with rust-oleum primer and acrylic paint.

Check out EldritchTree and CarnageClaws on art fight!

[violetcyclops]

Attack #2 was @m34tcube's elvish lovers, Bonnie and Charlie!

We've been attacking each other for three years now and I have absolutely teared up over their defense art, it's always so expressive and cute??
