Wtf, an automatic label of "sexually explicit content" has been placed on the image? What? Why? Does the bsky bot want to fuck skeletons. I mean, I don't kinkshame. You do you, bsky bot

My theme for this year seems to be a teal-ish blue green color. I can't get away from it

Next #Artfight attack for Ludevika, of their character Death mid transformation and his lover Madame D. This one kicked my ass and I'm not sure it turned out alright in the end, but it's finished 😅 Painterly low contrast night scenes in perspective are... something 🐉

Thank you so much <3 Every year I try to convince myself I'm going to make fast attacks, but then spend way too long on each of them anyway because I need to make them look pretty 😅

Lol, I've been trying* forever to get 1000 followers on a social media platform (* because I wasn't really trying very hard at all, I just thought it'd be neat to have 1k some day), and the one it eventually happened on is not even one we can post on all year

Dang, time flies. This is already the 8th year I'm joining. I usually get around 30 attacks done, but last year I managed 18 because I started a new full time job halfway through (that I still have, so I hope I can do a lot of power drawing in the evenings haha)

Wow, I was going to write about Jintu just being to hot to handle for poor ol' twitter, but knowing that you didn't even put an image in the post just makes me want to laugh, honestly. Twitter created its own image and then got embarrassed by what it made? That's hilarious

The really crazy thing about writers is you can read a work that’s so visceral or beautiful or fascinating that you think about it for the rest of your life, it becomes part of you forever, and then you follow them on socials and they usually post stuff like “you can’t spell fart without art”

Yea, having a full time job is a bit of a bummer during the event 😥 so little time! But man... It's just too tempting to compete every year, none of us can resist. If you want to play but don't have a lot of time, maybe you can just make 1 attack, or doodles?

Even though almost nobody on AF ever draws anything suggestive because like you said, it's against the rules.

I feel like a lot of it is bandwagon-y because many artfight users are pretty young and don't know what to write in the permissions so they look at other people's permissions and see "NO NSFW!!!" everywhere and conclude it must be a big problem, so they also add it.

Even though I enjoy drawing monsters, I never really make any of them into characters. They're mostly just there for aesthetic reasons. That's a bummer for Artfighters who want to attack me if they don't like drawing my human(oid) chars. So I'm designing a couple of new beasties to put on there. 🐉

A lot of us feel silly always commenting something synonymous with "that's so cool!" too, especially if it's to the same person a lot of the time, haha. We feel equally appreciative of artists' "thank you"s 😊❤️
