A timelapse of Iweon's Candice for Art Fight 2026. I'm experimenting with a style that uses minimal shading and flat colors for future comic paneling purposes. Not displeased with the results!

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· 29d

Revenge Attack for #ArtFight against @iweon.bsky.social! I'm very slow this year, but enjoyed drawing Candice. AF once again has been a great time of experimenting with new Procreate brushes! I have discovered the glory of the Scopus pencil thanks to Iweon. #ArtFight2026 #TeamTragedy #ocsky #ocart

And the answer iiiiiiss...... . . . The winner was D! The client and I both agreed the desaturated colors echo the colors of the creature she is bonding with quite nicely, while also helping the figure stand out more. Next comes refinement, balancing, and painting, painting, painting!

Happy 25th anniversary to Kushiel's Legacy! This series helped shape my passion for dark elegance & subtle strength. I can finally share my tribute of a fan cover of CASSIEL'S SERVANT after spending many late nights on it. Thank you for this gift of inspiration @jacquelinecarey.bsky.social !🌹

A warrior wearing daggers at his waist and a longsword on his back crosses his forearms in a salute. His eyes are closed in a pensive pose as he stands resolute in his duty. Behind him, the woman he has sworn to protect, walks a path of broken glass into a golden window of thorny rose vines. The black tribal tattoo on her back marks her as a chosen of Kushiel. Pinpricks of red mark its blossoms.

The painting is rendered in grayscale with gold accents dotting the dust motes, floating feathers, and rose designs.

A timelapse showing the exploration I did drawing Algernon! I changed my mind a lot trying to nail the anatomy, but eventually arrived at a more stylistic approach I liked. #arttimelapses #artvids #artprocess #artfight #artfight2026 #anthroart #characterart

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· Jul 6

Kyaaa! My revenge attack on @kitchimera.bsky.social of their 'rat with a bat', Algernon Templeton aka Algae. A fun challenge of anthro anatomy I was excited to attempt! How'd I do? I hope I did Algae justice! #ArtFight #ArtFight2026 #anthro #originalcharacters #ocart

Algernon Templeton, an anthro rat character who belongs to KitChimera. Luminescent fungi grows from his ear and he is dressed in a tank top with a layered necklace with a large oval pendant.

I've made it to the Champions Ballad DLC for Breath of the Wild! This 1 hit kill or be killed challenge is BRUTAL. ...but I was not expecting to go out the way I did. My husband said he woulda uninstalled the game if this happened to him LMAO. #AngPlays #botw #legendofzelda #funnygameclips

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· Jun 24

Artist! Quote with your blood art!🩸 Ah, Aurora, my poor bloody butterfly! My Shadowrun Street Samurai gal from my peak goth girl years. #darkfantasy #darkart #gothart #shadowrun #ttrpgart

An elf woman lies on the ground staring at the strange butterfly alight on her forehead. Her dark red hair spreads across the ground, blending with the blood around her. She is tattooed with markings inspired by butterfly veins and wings. Her eyes are an unearthly blue and green.

An elvish woman dressed in punk jeans and tank top lies surrounded by red origami butterflies. Her skin is tattooed with tribal lines hinting at a butterfly wing’s patterns and her eyes are an unearthly green with blue sclera. She cradles a white origami butterfly in her hands, the color red staining it implying the rest of the red butterflies were once white too.

A lesson for you, friends. Never have a knife fight in a thunderstorm! All that was left was bananas... #breathofthewild #legendofzelda #gameclips #AngPlays #botw

Artists, Art Fight is in two weeks, so show us your attacks from previous years! 💫 Here are a few of my personal faves between 2022 & 2026. #artfight #teamtragedy #artfight2026

Glittering Blade invites Kalara to a night on the town in Chiaroscuro. Glittering Blade wears shades of gold and orange in flowing silks, while Kalara is dressed in white and teal silks trimmed with gold. They are set against a backdrop of red lanterns. Glittering Blade belongs to shiftingpath and Kalara belongs to me.

Cyn for ArtoftheNerd. An ominous figure with glowing eyes cast in shadow. She wields an ominous claw weapon.

Valerian for DungeonDelves. A fanciful blond dwarf adorned with holly leaves.

A chibi style emote of shiftingpath's Glittering Blade, a swashbuckling desert dervish.

Artists, Quote with your yellow art! 💛🌼

"Lady of November", 10x20 in., watercolor & ink with gold leaf accents. A detailed painting of a ghostly goddess of the Underworld with undead blue skin holding a lantern that draws monarch butterflies, representing souls, to her light. She guides the dead and stands amongst gravestones surrounded by orange and red chrysanthemum flowers.

A detail of "Lady of November" showing the chrysanthemum motifs in her lace trimmed veil and the chrysanthemums in her stained glass window design. She also wears layers of necklaces.

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· Jun 10

The Nice House on the Lake Vol 1 This one grabbed me with its stellar art & intriguing setup of a group of individuals trapped in a house while the world collapses. Its strength is its greatest weakness in that vol 1 felt like setup for a great premise. I hope vol 2 can deliver a satisfying end!

The cover of Nice House on the Lake by Alvaro Martino Bueno. A group of people stand atop a pile of bones, moody lighting casting them all in shadow. The glasses of the central character glint with a hint of sinister presence.

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· Jun 10

Artists, show me how you paint hands! ✍️🤌 #fantasyart #characterart #darkfantasy #tarotart

A detail of "Keeper of Secrets" showing a close-up of an angel's hands with keyholes in her wrists with a floating glowing antique key.

A detail of "Blue Eye, Silver Tongue" showing off the character's hands holding flintlock pistols.

Detail of "The Pirate's Kiss" featuring Sam Hogg's characters Eidy and Kalam from The Whaler Girl. Showing a woman with closed eyes and the faint lines of a skull painted on her features as a man's hand caresses her cheek. She wears roses in her hair.

A detail of "X of Swords" showing a stone woman drawing stained glass swords from the cutouts in her skin echoing cathedreal windows.

Library Book Review! THE WITCHER: RONIN I admittedly picked this up b/c @jenbartel.art's cover is SO 🔥! I wasn't expecting much beyond AU Witcher, so was pleasantly surprised how well a Witcher switches up with yokai hunter. The BIG downside is it ends w/o resolution w/ no sequel yet since 2022.

The cover art for The Witcher: Ronin by Jen Bartel. A white-haired samurai wearing two swords holds an introspective pose as a decorative wall screen behind him represents the yokai via stylized brush drawings that he must face.

The version of the book cover with title treatment.

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· Jun 8

Arty's portrait has become one of my faves. He's my husband's Soul Knife Rogue character. I don't consider myself particularly good at the anime style, but I'm pleased w/ how I captured his calm & calculating aire quite well here! He's a young nobleman with a hardened heart on the brink. #dndart

A token portrait of Artorias, the Soul Knife Rogue. He has raven black hair and icy teal eyes and is wearing a cravat beneath his cloak.

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· Jun 7

This series' visually striking covers by Jenny Frison were some of my faves back in the day! Attaching a few of my faves. I just queued up the rest of the REVIVAL series via interlibrary loan. So exciting to be able to have access to so many free comics now! I should've figured this out years ago.

A hooded woman wades into waters with fish swimming around her legs.

A woman with bloodied hands stares from beneath a hoodie emblazoned with a skull and bones.

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· Jun 7

REVIVAL Vol 1-3. I stayed up late reading these! Very engrossing premise of the dead returning wrapped in a layered murdered mystery. The recent TV show sparked my interest to go back & finish reading this one. The adaptation is pretty close to the spirit of the original story. Gorgeous art as well.

A woman walks through the snow in the rural countryside carrying a scythe with a skull visible on her hoodie.

A bloody hand seeps into the snow of the forest.

A hooded female figure carries a bewildered child.

Artists, quote with your faces ✨ (My fave thing to draw for characters!) #fantasyart #characterart #dndart #dndcharacters #tiefling #ocsky

Orchid belongs to MissSunnySweden. Painting of a female character wearing a large wicker woven hat adorned with orchids. She has dark red hair and artfully applied lipstick and wears a teal decorative necklace. A symbol of the Twilight Caste burns bright on her forehead.

A painting of a character with a golden complexion and dark red hair. Decorative bits of rainbow glass accent her brow and eyes, while she also wears glass earrings and hair sticks. The symbol of the Eclipse Caste burns bright gold just above the skin of her forehead.

Character belongs to Cien on bluesky. An anime style portrait with cell shading style picturing a roguish young man in his 20s with bright blue eyes and dark hair. He sports a nobleman's air, but is in fact, a rogue by thief night. D&D Soul Knife token portrait for a VTT.

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· Jun 3

Hey, artists! Post some art you made from before Bluesky. One of my golden oldies "Archangel Uriel" from 2004, 22 years ago when I worked more often in color pencil & watercolor. F#%$ I'm old...🥲 #angelart #fantasyart #tradart #detailedart #archangels

An archangel stands with a spear guarding the gates of hell. He has stood so long that white rose vines have begun to grow over his wings.

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· Jun 1

Quote your art with fire 🔥 (Fire-like hair counts, right? Featuring my Fire Genasi, Rabanne!) #dndart #dndcharacter #firegenasi #ttrpgart #fantasyart

Level 0 and Level 3 Rabanne, a Fire Genasi Barbarian with dark purple skin and orange glowing lava-like tattoos. Her eyes glow yellow with red sclera like embers. She went from skinny rebellious teen with a love off fighting to building herself up as a bulked warrior.

A closeup of level 0 and 3 Rabanne showing the progression of her tatts via her maturation into an adult and earning levels of martial prowess.

A close-up of Level 3 Rabanna showing her intricate facial tattoos and flowing orange flamelike hair. Also showing a glimpse of her equipment of gauntlets and warhammer.

A worms-eye view of Rabanne showing her dramatically glowing eyes.

Sometimes the goblins simply take care of themselves.😂 Don’t ask me what happened. I couldn’t tell ya! More Breath of the Wild shenanigans. #gameclips #legendofzelda #breathofthewild #funnygameclips

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· May 30

So I finally started playing Breath of the Wild (yes, yes I know I’m years late to the party.) Worth it to make my husband @cien.bsky.social cry-laugh at my deaths since I’m Zelda-ignorant & bad at this game. Prob my best death yet & I only just left the starting area. 😂 🤣 😂

Angela R. Sasser, Fantasy Artist, Geek, Gamer, Comics Fan@angelasasserart· May 28

Library book haul! I'm so proud of my local branch for having a whole dedicated aisle for graphic novels now. Gonna see about hooking into Hoopla and Libby now that I've re-activated my years-expired library card. Having access to free audiobooks etc would be so nice!
