#sharemyattack2025! I’m really proud of the attacks I got done this year- I may not have beaten last year’s count, but I’ve been so much healthier and more active in other ways this year that I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve done. Here’s to another great year of art! #artfight #art #digitalart

#Artfight! Attack #9. Character belongs to artfight.net/~NebzDrawz0w0.

I managed 11 attacks last year, I was hoping to beat that record for my second year participating, but I am really running up against that clock. 😅 Fingers crossed!

Our feature artist/tutorial for today is this lovely set of notes on drawing STYLISED EYES by the talented
@dredsina! This is more useful for drawing eyes with MAKEUP, since it simplifies a lot down, but the observations are GREAT! #gamedev #characterdesign #eyes #comicart

I have a bad habit of getting bored/frustrated with linework and rushing straight to color, haha.

By the way, anyone have any tips for clothing and outfit design? It's the #1 thing that stops me from drawing my human characters every time.

#art #digitalart
In-progress digital art showing a humanoid female character with dark skin and short, spiky black hair. Everything below the character's neck is still a sketch.

Finally finished the Gaffer's Cat fight! I got hit with a huge wave of fatigue this past week and a half, working so slowly was very frustrating 😅 #art #digitalart #creaturedesign
Two cat-like monsters with stone skin that are fighting each other. Both are reared on their hind legs, swiping with their paws, mouths open and roaring. The heat emanating from their open mouths is casting a glow on each other's bodies.

First Gaffer's Cat of the pair done! Decided to go for more of a cell-shaded rendering this time. #art #digitalart #creaturedesgin
Digital art of a cat-like monster with stone skin rearing on its hind legs and roaring. Its arms are stretched out like it's swiping at an opponent, and its roaring mouth is emitting light like a hot furnace. Its one visible eye is glowing as well.

Finally took a break from watercoloring to do a bit of digital again! Top half looks a tad wonky, but I think those hind legs are some of the best I've ever managed! #art #digitalart #cats
Unfinished digital art piece of a pair of catlike monsters fighting. Both are on hind legs, arms in mid-swipe.

It's #NationalBlackBearDay ! 🐻🎉

Black bears depend on thousands of acres of protected land to roam freely and maintain genetic diversity, which is why protecting land is crucial to their success.

#blackBear #bear #SciArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #AnimalDayCal #SketchStudy
Digital sketch study of an adult and cub Florida black bear for National Black Bear Day. This ended up being more of a black fur color study and shading. Their fur reflects a great deal of light, especially when wet.

I honestly think the little ocean sunset came out nicer than the bigger one! 😅 #watercolor #art #traditionalart
Watercolor paintings in a sketchbook- in the top half of the image, there are a group of cacti, a few cats, a boat on the ocean at sunset, and the moon over a forest. The bottom half of the image is taken up by three larger paintings- a bunch of mustang grapes on the vine on the left, some white wispy mushrooms in the middle, and another ocean sunset scene on the right, this one with a small dock and some palm trees.
