First Artfight attack for @spectralfey.bsky.social ! 💜🐍✨ [ #DnDArt | #Artfight | #Artfight2026 | #OC (not mine) ]

It's happenningggggg. We are toiling hard to get Hire Human Artists V2 up and ready. Right now we're consolidating all of the variants everyone has put in on the old form, which will take us a few days to get through. If you're already on the list, keep an eye on your email over the next few days!

I'm still looking for ARC readers for The Chosen One Con, so here are some facts: 💙 This isn’t your usual gaslamp fantasy! The setting features spells, potions, and TV shows! 💙 Our MC's are a sex worker and ex-factory worker who enter a contest of celebrity mages to find the prophesied chosen one!

@drivethrurpg.com's Christmas in July sale is in full swing, and it's your chance to snag so many great TTRPG titles at a discount! Now's your chance to pick up TBM Games' Witch class for your next #DnD5e game, or a bunch of other RPG titles you'll love! www.drivethrurpg.com...

Ouhhhh big storm! Big storm! An end to the vile heatwave!

This is a great collection of indie authors to follow, and they're launching some exciting campaigns later this year! 👀

Painting some skulls in gouache without previous sketch, just straight to painting. Really fun and enlightening! #art

Went with the flow again this time. Flow was certainly slower on this one. #timelapse #speedpaint #artsky #ocsky

Yes to all this AND I cannot emphasize enough to improve your writing you MUST listen to how people actually talk with the intent to learn. If you’re modeling dialogue only after what you’ve heard on TV or read in your favorite romantasy your dialogue will be stiff, plot-heavy, and unnatural.

I'd even extend that to: in general, be curious Not just with what you purposefully read/research, but with what's around you. Species of birds, bugs, and fish. The make of a car, the skill of an artisan. How people interact with one another in the street. You never know what will be useful.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 2136778: If you read widely, outside your genre, your writing will be much less likely to be formulaic and predictable.

Very true! I've started slipping in classics from various cultures in between my usual SFF/H diet. Not only is it fun (and historical research!), but I could see my writing improve from it.

All hail to the goat god ! #art

WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS signed paperback preorders were shipped today! All of you who preordered it should have an e-mail from ko-fi. Now I just have to wait for the actual release date for everything else. I should really make release day graphics...

This has devolved into just me listening to the Bleach soundtrack again. It makes for such good writing music. However flawed the narrative, man am I excited for the final cour of the anime! Cool music and cool magic swords (and also Aizen) win me over.

Every so often I do something a little experimental with the format of Shadows & Sorcery, and #154 is one such edition--and it's a good one! A ten-part flash fic on-the-fly worldbuilding deep dive, free for cool people to read (that's you!) shadowsandsorcery.substack.com/p/shadows-an...

QRP with the OC you are brainrotting the most about! Right now, it's Grilled. These pics show him as an adult, but I'm in edits for the time when he was a child because I want to show how he became the rapscallion that he later becomes

Time to put Number One of the Bleach soundtrack on loop For Reasons!

turtle that I am I have still managed to do more this year than last! 😭💓 shoutout to my AF buddies @clockworkgalaxies.bsky.social and @aowna.bsky.social for really inspiring me to challenge myself this year 🥺💓 happy artfight, everyone!

Reviving my personal game dev project made me think of this post I made in 2019 on my game dev account in the other place. It can be really discouraging when we see others doing what we wish we could do. But, I've found this mindset helps me a lot in those times 💙

she's now available to my ko-fi members! kinda given up on promoting but. it exists ko-fi.com/lyannatropes

Attack on @extrasor.bsky.social of their boi Alphun >:] #art #animation #artfight #creature #monster #angel

Jumping into #AwesomeCharacters today thanks to @professoremily.bsky.social's subtle coaxing. 😆 Meet Dani Gavilan (they/them) from #TSWBOO! They're a low-level technician with Earth's diplomatic delegation who is surprisingly gifted in "improvisational engineering" and signal hacking. (1/3)

I think this was like, the second or third time I drew him!

no matter your problem, the answer is always "bugs"

Seconding this praise for THE WORKS OF VERMIN. What a sumptuous book--ornate in all the right ways, gorgeously written. Chef's kiss

I read The Works of Vermin over this week-end and so far it's my fav book of the year. Everything in it worked for me. It's the exact type of complexity, fun, worldbuilding, mystery, and BUGS that I like. 🪲 It delivered on all its promises. Go read it!!!

A revenge attack for @lionforg.bsky.social! Ziemowit [ #artfight #artfight2026 #teamtragedy #OCart #ShareMyAttack2026 #NenArt ]

Attack on Ernser for @aowna.bsky.social ! Cool dragonnnn! #artfight #artfight2026 #dragon

The cicadas, they sing!

Then of course there's my gorgeous cover art illustration by @aowna.bsky.social. I knew I wanted something that felt wispy and dreamy, something that evoked both the depth of space and the flow of water, and Aowna DELIVERED. I'm so happy with how it turned out!

✨🌟✨4 DAYS UNTIL RELEASE✨🌟✨ Time for an art appreciation post! The first art I ever commissioned for this book were these character illustrations by @nukeloop.bsky.social. This was my first time seeing these characters outside of my head, and it was ✨magical✨. More in the 🧵 below!

IT’S OUR VERY OWN @charliedeltawrites.bsky.social’s BDAY!!! Party time! 🥳🎉🎈 Suggested gift: An exclusive tidbit about your OC. Nothing spoilery, just fun! Or tell her your favorite thing about one of her OCs. Or both! 🎁 Pls enjoy these special cupcakes @nushdeco.bsky.social & I made, Charlie 😁❤️

This was the first personal piece I finished in 2025, and I guess it's only fitting that I'm ending the year with editing a version of the book I'm pretty happy with! I'm glad I didn't give up on CHD.

Finally back from the trip. Little WIP update. Added a few thousand words to the sequel too. Managed to get some writing done while i was gone but the rental did not have a very ergonomic setup for... well... anything. Saw orcas tho #valdraws

Attack on Dede, of @pocketvampire8008.bsky.social. Hope you like it! [ #artfight2026 #artfight #teamcomedy ]

artfight attack no. 6 ! This time on @entertaingels.bsky.social 's Anna. I see a black-white-red color scheme character and I black out and have to draw them... but also I love evil women. [ #ArtFight #TeamMystery #ArtFight2026 #art ]
