A prodigious command of flame born not from strength or grace, but a quiet ferocity.

Amazing ATLA-themed piece of August by @donryu.bsky.social! 🔥
Digital art featuring August, a brown furred bat clad in formal slate blue shirt and muted pants, standing with one arm clasped behind his back. Expression quiet and unimpressed, he holds up a billowing orange flame in his palm. Orange and blue flames flare around him in a circle, contrasting a dark background.

Bird brawl! Grae goes for a round with @dorklyandy.bsky.social's Nick, who's being a bit of a bully at the gym. Can Grae handle the onslaught, or will he too get bowled over?

A sweet sketch by @blueclovie.bsky.social!

A full page panel with a starry purple background. Evelan stands with his eyes closed in concentration, his arms splayed, palms facing forward. A complex rune featuring an eight pointed star outlined with phases of the moon glows in front of him. Circling the rune are a series of symmetrical hand gestures.

Panel 1: "As you wish," says Evelan, reaching under his cloak. Panel 2: A closeup of Evelan holding up a small purple crystal moon between his thumb and index finger. Panel 3: A stylish panel with a vivid purple background under a bursting black circle as Evelan, shadowed, crushes the soulshard in his hand, emitting a burst of light. Panel 4: A closeup of Evelan's upturned hand. A few lights glimmer above his palm. Panel 5: Evelan brings his fingers together in a steeple. Light gathers in the space between his hands. Panel 6: Zoomed in to the space between Evelan's hands, we see a white moon take shape, surrounded by glimmering stars.

What sound does a bat snout accordion make?
Focus up, Vauruk! 😵‍💫

Itami and art by @knockoutlizard.bsky.social
#vauruk #modernau
Grayscale sketch of Vauruk, an anthro bat in white boxing gloves emblazoned with KING and a crown symbol; and Itami, an anthro monitor lizard in white boxing gloves emblazoned with KO. Smirking, Itami drives a punch into Vauruk's face, crumpling both glove and snout in a spray of sweat and slobber. Vauruk's eyes go wide. Both fighters sport a few marks and bruises from their fight.

Training with Vauruk's no walk in the park! Your limits will be tested! 💪

October Secret Santa for @ntheraptor.bsky.social!
#art #vauruk #modernau
Digital art featuring N, a red and charcoal raptor with fur/feathers of yellow striped with green, clad in black and red-striped shorts; and Vauruk, a grey furred bat in white short and boxing gloves emblazoned with KING and a crown symbol. N has his hands locked behind his head, back arched, as he undergoes conditioning with Vauruk punching his stomach. "Hah!" crows the bat, thoroughly enjoying himself. "Sweatin' already? Five more minutes to go!" N, meanwhile, grinds his teeth in sheer focus, his arms trembling.

Panel 1: "And half dead by the looks of it," says Evelan, leaning down over the supine bat and pulling open his eyelid to check on him. "Concussion, broken ribs, internal bleeding... Without treatment, he may succumb to his injuries before long." Panel 2: Over an orange polka-dotted background, Dovak grins almost bashfully and rubs the back of his neck. "Perhaps I had a little more fun than was necessary. You can heal him though, right?" Panel 3: Evelan stands, dusting off his hands. "It can be done, but it will cost us a soulshard. Are you sure he is worth it, my lord?" Panel 4: A closeup on Dovak's face, eyes intent. "Do it."

Vauruk shows off a mean sequence in his fight against @tuckertaki.bsky.social! 💥

Lines by an anonymous artist; colors by me
#vauruk #modernau
A comic depicting a kickboxing match between Vauruk, a grey bat with teal wings clad in white gloves and shorts emblazoned at the side with "KING" and a crown symbol; and Tucker, a serval clad in red gloves and black and white shorts. Panel 1: Vauruk digs a punch into Tucker's stomach with a THWUMP. The serval gasps in pain, doubling over. Panel 2: Grinning with confidence, Vauruk follows up with a straight punch that clocks Tucker in the jaw with a POW, knocking the serval back. Panel 3: In the foreground, Tucker has fallen to the canvas, propped up on his elbows, looking back at the bat with a glare. Behind, Vauruk shouts with joy, pumping his fists in triumph.

Panel 1: "Haw" says Dovak, turning to admire the unconscious bat with a grin, running his tongue over his teeth. "He *is* a delicious little morsel, isn't he?" Panel 2: Dovak holds up an index finger. "But!" Panel 3: The silhouettes of Dovak and Evelan look down the camera, cyan and yellow eyes bright. "He is fast, strong, tenacious... and most importantly--" Panel 4: The crumpled flyer from before lies a distance from Dovak's feet. Panel 5: Dovak steps up to the flyer and picks it up from the ground. Panel 6: Dovak holds up the crumpled flyer, expression confident and knowing. "--hopelessly desperate."

Ready to get your ass kicked? 😏

Art by the incredible @backcat2023.bsky.social, featuring @blytzdragon.bsky.social #vauruk #modernau
Digital art featuring Vauruk, a grey bat clad in golden MMA gloves and sleek white and black compression shorts emblazoned with a golden crown and "KING" on the side; and a blue and yellow dragon clad in indigo briefs, gloves, and boots, lined with with gold cuffs. The two lean fighters stand chest to chest in a fighting ring, fists clenched. The dragon may be over a head taller, but Vauruk has his chest thrust forward, a smug grin on his face, oozing confidence. The taller dragon glowers down at him.

Panel 1: Evelan gives an unimpressed, almost disdainful side-eye to the bat off-screen. Panel 2: "Surely you jest, my lord," says Evelan, gesturing to the unconscious bat laid out beside him. "This?" Panel 3: "I jest not, Evelan," says Dovak, snapping the book shut in his right hand. "This broken bat has passed my test. He is the perfect candidate!" "Not to cast doubt on your judgement," says Evelan, both arms clasped behind his back again, "but have you made this decision with your head, or perhaps some other appendage?"

Panel 1: The silhouette of a demon, shoulders hunched and cyan eyes bright, stands shrouded in smoke. Panel 2: The smoke begins to clear, revealing Evelan, standing in his dark brown collared mantle. Like Dovak, the bands of color on his tail, thighs, and arms are gone. "My lord," he says, expression neutral.

Panel 1: Dovak grabs the unconscious Vauruk's shoulder and begins to roll him over. Panel 2: Dovak presses an ear to Vauruk's chest, listening to the bat's heartbeat. Panel 3: "Oh yes," says Dovak, leaning back. Panel 4: Dovak squats before the supine bat, holding up the summoning book once more. "You shall do nicely."

Did I ever post this? Not sure!

Professor Graw has had enough of Itami and teaches the green lizard a lesson! 👢

Digital art of a closeup on Itami's face - a green komodo dragon anthro, lying with his face squashed beneath a brown boot, mouth parted, drooling, bleeding, mouthguard discarded.

Panel 1: "Exhilarating!" exclaims Dovak, eyes wide and fist raised with passion. Panel 2: "Such grit!" Dovak slams a fist onto the book held out horizontally in his palm. "Such reckless abandon!" Panel 3: "And in one so small and unassuming!" We pan back to the faint smile of the unconscious Vauruk with a shot between Dovak's calves.
