#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!

Been trying to do attacks on mostly humanoid characters because that’s where I need the most practice, but I treated myself to a Good Creature Boi and I love how he came out!
Digital art of a dragon-like creature underlit by red light. He has dark scales and is covered in lighter spikes on his head and down his shoulders and back. He’s grinning a toothy grin and looking down at the viewer.

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.

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.

I'm 1GG! I do a whole bunch of different stuff (basically whatever medium takes over my brain for a given period, lol!) Right now I'm fixated on learning watercolor, but I thought I'd share some of my favorite older pieces instead!

Thank you for the share!
Digital artwork of an American Bullfrog in knights tournament armor riding a Red-Eared Slider turtle, who is dressed in the regalia of a knight's steed. A sculpture of a male Snowy Owl. The sculpture is made up of many small polished stones that imitate the birds' feather patterns, with eyes, beak, and claws carved from yellow calcite and black jasper. It is perched on top of another, darker, uncarved stone. Digital art of a black gryphon on a white background mid-flight. She's swooping, but her gaze is directed purely ahead. Charcoal and graphite drawing on cardboard of the artist's dog. She's jumping directly at the "camera" grabbing one end of a rope toy with her mouth, the other end held by a person off-screen.

May or may not attempt to do a watercolor Mother’s Day card for my mom- it’d be a lot of practice to cram into less than a week! #art #traditionalart #watercolor
Three small watercolor paintings. A conifer tree with red foliage on the left, a green oak tree in the middle, and a pair of blue-petal flowers on the right. Watercolor landscape scene done in earth tones. Clouds in the sky at sunset framed by pine trees.
