Art fight dump number 3! Mr Grin belongs to @curzec.bsky.social, Ghostie belongs to @martine.website, Sparky belongs to @stabbyneedle.bsky.social, and Messy belongs to, well, @messyzandrewbert.bsky.social

A delighted Skeleton man dressed in fancy showman wear pulls a little Camie Sloth out of his top hat and says, “Oh! How precious!”

Ghost in a wheelchair with ginger hair, red glasses, and blue eyes. She’s looking into your soul. Text reads, “you can’t kill me in a way that matters.”

Little vampire looks at you with big eyes saying, “I’m tursty.” Sparky has blond hair tied in a bun, red eyes with yellow around the pupil, pointed ears, and of course fangs.

Messy is a purple frog with yellow accents on the hands, feet, belly, and face. Their eyes are yellow with dark purple pupils. They have one snaggle tooth and a blue tongue. Their cheeky are rosy pink.
They look up at you with arms outstretched. Maybe they want uppies.

Second art fight dump! Rain belongs to @theastralbard.bsky.social, Frag (the Ferengi) belongs to @marlonotfound.bsky.social, Max and deb belong to @conkles.bsky.social, and Rosina belongs to @sharpenpalarie.bsky.social.

Text: Let it Rain.
Rain (they/them) has fair white skin contrasted by the dark chasm cracked into their chest the chasm looks like it contains the vastness of space and a sea of stars. There is a star marked on each shoulder and feathers starting at the elbow going down.
They’re looking straight at the viewer with their head tilted downwards. They have pointed ears, black horns, and shaggy blue hair with red covering most of the long side bangs that cover their right eye (viewer’s left). The eye is blue with a vertical slit pupil and yellow sclera. They also have translucent grey wing that float behind them.
They’re standing with their elbows out and hands on hips. The image cuts off just below the chest.
They are surrounded by bright stars.

An isometric view of a Starfleet Academy dorm room belonging to the Ferengi cadet, Frag Loctor. He’s passed out in bed, in the wrong direction, seemingly in the middle of studying after a night out. Still hanging from his hand and resting on the floor is a tablet that’s still on. His vest, jacket, and necklace are all discarded on the floor. The vibrant pink jacket shared its pattern with the curtains hanging over the bed. His room is lit by pink string lights hung along the top of the wall. His uniform and boots are visible in the closet. His badge resting on the bedside along with a lamp and a machine that says “rain sounds” on the screen. He has a two seater couch that matches the purple of his bedspread.
He has a wall of posters beside the bed. On top from left to right there’s a photo of him accepting a #1st place award for something. A piece of bio art. And a small image of his home planet, Ferenginar.
On the bottom from left to right there’s a poster that’s says “Qu’onos Fashion Week” featuring a Klingon wearing an iridescent jumpsuit. A photo booth picture roll of Frag with two other friends. And another poster that says “Drag Race Andor”
Featuring an Andean in a pink bodysuit and heels.
There’s an analog clock on the wall that reads 2:30am

Sitting on a couch, lit from the front by a TV, Max (a beige bear) is on the left wearing a purple hat and shorts. He’s leaned a back saying, “Stop hogging the popcorn!” While he kicks deb, to his right, in the shoulder. deb is a brown squirrel (I think)with pink hair. She’s sitting straight forward with a big bowl of popcorn held on her lap and in both arms. Through a full mouth, she responds, “I’m not!”

$Rosina has her arm across her body with her sword in hand as though she’s starting to swing. The hilt of the sword sparkles as the light refracts through the pink crystal. The top of her black skirt is visible as it poofs out. Her elbow length gloves are the same colour as the skirts aside from the understand of the hand, which is pink. The gloves end in long, sharp, golden nails. Her corset is pink with dark green boning. There is a pattern of vines, leaves, and roses on the corset. For her armour, she wears silver pauldrons with gold accents. The same silver covers the lower half of her face in a mask. She has olive skin, piercing emerald green eyes, and pink hair in a bob with straight across bangs. Her head is adorned with golden crown like the sun, a large rose, and a chain draping around in front of her face and looping back around behind her head. In a path behind her sword there are crystals and shimmering light. Her skin seems to me glittering.$

Crepe Waffle and Mister Persent. Owner DarkVolt.
Crepe is a Goblin girl with an olive skin tone and white freckles. She has big red eyes, large pointed ears, voluminous and long chocolate brown hair that falls around have face in a big circle; the rest of the hair is pulled back into a big poofy ponytail that ends in an hair tie around her hips.
She’s looking up at the viewer, giving a sweet smile, and standing with her arms behind her back. She’s wearing a white sleeveless button-up tucked into a red waist corset with a brown skirt proofing out from under with beige stripes
Laying on a soft cushion of Crepe’s hair is a small round green frog Named Mister Persent.

FartieArtie’s Twitch PNGTuber excitedly leaning over to pick a blue flower.
He’s a little green guy. His head is a sphere with too soft spikes going out the back with a blue leaf sprouting out the top of his head.
He has very big dark blue eyes. His mouth is almost like a cat mouth but with an extra u shape and it’s open wide to reveal and small pink heart shaped tongue.
He’s wearing a deep teal fabric tied around his neck, an orange sweater going down to his legs (Pooh bear style), and bare dirty feet. He has a little leather holster backpack to carry around his flower pot with a big pink flower sprouting.
He looks so incredibly in awe of this flower he’s picking.
Background simple green grass and teal blue sky.

Worked so hard on these for the last week and a bit. I feel like I learned a lot and also still have so much to learn! And I love that. I look forward to continuing to improve my skills in a bunch of different areas.

A page of 8 mini landscape tiles arranged 2 by 4
First row shows two tiles
1. a calm and clear day at the Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse in Nova Scotia. A white lighthouse with a red top sits on grey rocks looking out over a calm ocean.
2. Lush meadows of golden long grass, green bushes, and rolling hills with a lake far off in the distance surrounded by forest. The sky is bright blue with fluffy clouds.
Second row
3. Hazy mountain range in a soft pink sunrise.
4. Desert mountains lit up by sunset. The parts of the mountains hit directly by the sunlight are bright gold and orange with the parts in shadow being deep purple and indigo.
Third row
5. A big U shaped bay carved out of coastal cliffs. The water is active and lightly crashes at the bottom of the cliffs. The cliff rocks are an earthy brown and the tops are covered by bright green grass and some wildflowers.
6. A cold scene in colour and setting. The viewer is looking through an arch way created by two icebergs overlapping in space. The ice is bright in direct light and has this lovely teal coming through the spots where the light is passing through from the other side of the translucent ice. The water looks deep, dark, and cold.
Forth row
7. The light shines through an opening in the jungle canopy onto a waterfall spilling out onto rocks and into a pool. Outside of the white spray of the waterfall, the pool of water is relatively still, showing a blurred rippling reflection of the rocks and trees.
8. Sand dunes in midday. The sand is bright and smooth until it meets and edge where it has collapsed, forming little cliffs of sand. They fade into the background like mountains.

I had the pleasure of playing a disaster chinchilla man for Haunted Rat Casino with @artsylazuli.bsky.social as GM, and the rest of the heist gang @junomoons.bsky.social @theastralbard.bsky.social @stabbyneedle.bsky.social using Blades In The Dark as the system.

Text reads, “Noggs Farros, he/they, playbook: Leech”
Pictured is Noggs who is a grey chinchilla wearing a brown leather vest and carrying a messenger bag of the same brown leather for his tools. Pulled up onto his forehead are goggles that he uses when he works. He’s holding a pocket watch that says, “NF”.
On the left, he can be viewed from the side with the bag of tools open on the ground.
On the right, he can be viewed from the front with the bag his person.
He’s lit from above with orange light. Dark atmosphere

Sketch and some rough armour concepts for the dude in the sketch

Sketch of a man who is dragging a sword behind him. The trail of the sword being dragged along the ground and scraping footprints reach back beyond the horizon. His knees are bent and look like they may buckle, but he carries on. His one arm is stretched out behind him dragging the sword while his other arm is hanging in front of him as he moved himself forward. His posture is slightly hunched but not completely crumped. His head is hanging down.

Front, back, and side view of a rough concept for armour. Mainly quilted and padded armour with leather and metal attachments. Materials not finalized.

Last but certainly not least of the player characters is Viola Viper played by @kalviberry.bsky.social . She is not to be trifled with. She is strong willed, agile, and intimidating. DO NOT PROVOKE

Digital portrait of Viola Viper. She’s crouched down on the ground with her arms our to the side and back to steady her. She’s ready to strike at any moment and has the knife to prove it. She’s lit from above in a spotlight with the light reflecting off of her dark leather gear and clothing. She has an olive complexion, dark hair shaved on her right side and chin length on her left. She wears deep plum on her lips. She holds a knife in her left hand. The text in the top left of the canvas reads, “Viola, don’t cross her."

This is Sparky played by @stabbyneedle.bsky.social . He’s just your average college guy who’s doing really well! He’s totally fine and definitely a human man.

Two digital portraits of Sparky.
On the left he is pictured from the waist up. He’s giving an enthusiastic thumbs up to the viewer and has a big smile on his face! Oh wait are those tears? Yup he’s crying! He’s just your average white boy with long blond hair tied up in a bun, pointy ears, red eyes with a yellow ring around the pupil, and unusually long and sharp canine teeth. Wearing a light jacket, its dark blue and inside the collar is a rainbow. His tee shirt underneath the jacket is mostly red with a light pink section above the chest up to the shoulders.
On the right his full body is visible. He’s leaning against a wall with his right leg cross over his left and his foot resting on the wall as well. He’s wearing the same thing on top and on the bottom he wears black jeans ripped at the knees and a pair of hightop red shoes in the style of Converse. It looks like he didn't fully clean up after his last meal with red splotched around his mouth and staining his teeth.
The top text reads, “Who has 2 thumbs, isn’t devistatingly sad, and definitely isn’t a vampire?* Sparky”
There is more text in the bottom right corner that seems to relate to the * in the first text, “*Only one of these statements are true"

This is Mick played by @smallghostbigthot.bsky.social and their NPC Fey companion, Fiona. They share a bond so deep that makes it hard to say if Mick can still be considered fully human.

A duo digital portrait framed like the sixth Major Arcana in Tarot, The Lovers. Canadian Geese fly from either side of the canvas to meet face to face in the middle. Canadian Geese mate for life.
On the left of the canvas is Fiona. Pale complexion, pointed ears and black eyes with yellow irises. Thin dark eyebrows raised in an incredibly soft way. A soft smile on her black lips. Her hair is golden blond and flowing every which way. She wears a long purple cardigan over a black dress with mesh going from her chest up to her neck. There are strange teal wisps surrounding her.
On the right is Mick. He has a more rich, tanned complexion with red/orange undertones warming his whole appearance. He has an angular face with chocolate brown hair, eyebrows, and eyes. He also sports a little soul patch on his chin. He’s wearing a dark tank top that shows off his muscular shoulders and arms.
They look into each other's eyes with great care and affection.
The left is labeled with text reading, “Fiona (Fey),” and the right text, “Mick (Alleged Human)”
The background is a complimentary desaturated teal-blue

This is Glamour played by @junomoons.bsky.social . Just your average celestial rabbit from the moon who can also take human form! Easter Bunny? It’s canon.

Digital portrait of Glamour. A cream coloured humanoid rabbit with large floppy ears, four arms, two attaching at the shoulders and the other two at the bottom of the rib cage. Their Head is quite animal shaped with a round head and a snout sticking out. They have large yellow eyes and two more eye shaped markings on their forehead. One is horizontal in the position associated with the third eye with a moon symbol. The other is vertical in between and just below their ears with a star symbol. The body is INCREDIBLY pear shaped, very round. Juicy thighs. Wearing a light purple strappy romper. A large pair of light green wings springs from their back looking like each wing was three fanned out flower petals that get smaller from top to bottom. There is also a long tail with a cute little puff ball on the end. They are posed leaning forward on their giant hammer, top pair of hands resting on the hammer handle and under the chin with the bottom pair of having their left hand up on their beautiful big butt and the right handing down to the side. The legs are stood apart for a greater lean and more support.
Human form glamour is light blond with a layered cut reaching the nape of their neck, short bangs, and longer pieces of fringe framing the face. The fair forms what looks like wings on top. Long thin and hansom face with a pale complection, elf like ears, stars in their eyes, and blue coloured lips. Text on top reads “Serving Glamour"

This is Buford Propane played by @renerighthere.bsky.social . He’s just your average Joe who looks kinda like Shaggy. Unassuming, welcoming smile, and easily underestimated.

Digital full body portrait of character Buford Propane. He looks a lot like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. Approximately 180cm in height with light brown, shoulder length hair, bangs swept to the left (his right), and a short light brown beard. His build is average. He’s wearing a green shirt with dark blue coveralls tied around his waist. He’s also wearing dark brown leather boots. He’s stanced with his feet shoulder width apart and his right leg out in front of him. He’s also holding his right arm out (left of canvas) while giving a thumbs up. His other hand is tucked into the coveralls at his waist (haha not because I didn’t want to draw the hand haha). He’s standing on the pavement and the horizon and blue cloudy sky are visible behind him. On the top-right of the canvas there is text that reads, “Buford Propane,” and halfway down on the right side, “The Everyman"

Here’s a #WIP I’ve been fiddling with to figuring how I like to paint in Clip Studio.

Based on a photo of a sunset in Mumbai, India. A couple buildings in the foreground framing the image with a sky filled with purple, orange, and yellow clouds. I accentuate the shapes that she sun light created in the clouds and morphed the central cloud into the shape of the wings of a phoenix. Fading off into the background is a smoggy city skyline.
