My secret unofficial last ArtFight attack landed on @ashacadence.bsky.social ! #ArtFight #ArtFight2026

A heavily stylized figure of a dragon, her scales are colored dark blue, muted red, white, and gold. She is posed a bit like a heraldic creature, on a background of blue patterns and a golden sun, surrounded by a circular frame of gold on which "Asha Syl'Riva" is written twice.

For @roth1312.bsky.social ! #ArtFight #ArtFight2026

Underwater portrait of a shapeshifter in his monster form. He has long dark horns, a head reminiscent of African wild dogs, a mane like a lion's, and piercing bright eyes. He is confidently diving below, with a cloud of air bubbles in his wake.

For ItsjustMorgan! #ArtFight #ArtFight2026

A tall muscular lady with green horns, long white hair, and red markings. She is effortlessly holding a large stone slab on her back with one arm, while offering the viewer a flask of water with the other.

For @drakomachina.bsky.social ! #ArtFight #ArtFight2026

A heavily stylized figure of a white tip reef shark and dragon hybrid, standing like a heraldic creature, among similarly stylized blue waves, surrounded by a circular frame. She is various shades of blue, and white, with small red accents on and around her face. The frame has "DRAKOMACHINA" written on it twice.

Attack on @necrolai.bsky.social! c: #ArtFight #ArtFight2026

Portrait of a harpy, with wavy hair and calm brown eyes. In his claws, he is holding up a round, colorful piece of seaglass, in order to take a closer look at it. The glass has two little fish and flowers painted on it.

Attack on MetaphoricallyMe! It felt good to take my mechanical pencil out for a spin.😌 #ArtFight #ArtFight2026

Portrait of an armored knight, lost in thought, loosely placing her hand on the pommel of her sword. She has long hair, and a stylized sun decorates her armor. There is a shadowy figure holding a dagger to her throat, but whether she is aware of this, or not, is anyone's guess.

Melinda Vass@whiteraven90· 6d

Bonus atrocities, committed in order to figure the lights out better.

The WIP of the scene from the previous post. The lights and colors are planned out here, and there are no textural details or seagulls.

The scene from the previous post, as a rough 3D mockup.

Attack on @greekceltic.bsky.social ! #ArtFight #ArtFight2026

Two huge fluffy creatures basking in harsh sunshine, on top of a tall rock. One of them is a draconic creature with striped orange fur, the other is a griffin. There are little seagulls on them and around them too.

Bonus Nomad Sculpt screenshot, because these filters looked nice (I don't know how to do this on short notice in Blender)

The robot character from the previous post, made to look a bit more like a 2D inked picture on a CRT screen.

Booped @ivyking214.bsky.social for Art Fight! #ArtFight #ArtFight2026

A massive robot holding a cat in her hand, gently. The scene is rainy, and it is illuminated by cold moonlight, and some spotlights, shining from unseen sources.

Melinda Vass@whiteraven90· 11d

QRP with your most popular piece on bsky! To nobody's surprise:

Melinda Vass@whiteraven90· 24d

I will make an attempt! My first attempt. I don't know who I want to attack I don't know the drill I don't know nothing. Just thought I'd do some attacks and think about the rest later. artfight.net/~whiteraven90

I've been neglecting the lighting/camera setup in Nomad Sculpt (in favor of... sculpting), but I think I finally managed to acknowledge the existence of all its components, haha. inb4 I stumble upon another setting I didn't know about, preferably right after posting screenshots online

Melinda Vass@whiteraven90· Jun 22

Sketches I wanted to return to, but probably won't. Kata and Griffin don't meet, but they know of each other. If they did meet, he would see an opportunity, and she would see a red flag forest that just asked if she wants to work for him. #Tetra

Sketches of Griffin and Kata. 3 portraits for him, 2 for her. On the bottom of the page there are two roughly drawn interactions between the characters. Kata is giving Griffin the cold shoulder, while Griffin seems friendly.

Melinda Vass@whiteraven90· Jun 22

Signs of life~ I've been sculpting Griffin lately, and this is where I left off last time. A hair bow that has no reason to exist, nor for it to have any details at all ✌️ Anatomy progressing slowly because focusing on the wrong thing

A 3D model of Griffin, bust view, from behind, showing a hair bow of generous proportions.

3D models of Kata, Griffin, and a horse foal, in a well-lit scene, shot from a Dutch angle. Kata is in the middle. She is posed, the other two are not.

Unfinished 3D sculpture of Griffin, and Kata behind him, both of them in the A pose. He wears some outdoors pants and boots. She wears a hat, overcoat, similar boots.

Unfinished 3D sculpture of a foal, with a human model standing behind it for comparison.

Bottom-up view of the horse's legs and hooves.

Melinda Vass@whiteraven90· May 29

I haven't used Nomad much so I was curious to check how its doing stuff. Finding this random twirl in the middle of the horse's otherwise pristine butt was so funny to me It's not there anymore, sadly. Or we could say... the disappearance of the quirky bum-twirl is a bummer

Close-up of a 3D sculpture's mesh. There is a strange little twist in the middle of it.

sculpting a random baby

Portrait of a foal. It is an unfinished 3D sculpture, in Nomad Sculpt.

Same sculpture as before; showing the bust from a bottom-up perspective.

Same sculpture as before, showing the entire horse from a slightly top-down point of view.

I don't know what this is, but it seems to be happy.

Close-up of a large, purple, sunlit flower.

Large purple flowers and flower buds, all on the same plant.

A large amount of purple flowers. The plant has large, long leaves reminiscent of grass blades.

Noise! I got mine

Two books on a desk - A Garden of Spheres, and A Frog In The Fall

A hare and a bunny 🐇🐇 Closest I ever got to drawing girls kissing? Characters of mine

Three colored drawings of a pair of old ladies dancing with each other. Kata is the one with long hare-like ears, Hajni with the shorter bunny-like ears. Included are some additional stylized flowers for decoration.

Same couple as the previous one, showing off a fancy braid job

Melinda Vass@whiteraven90· Mar 19

It is Blender! What are you trying to do specifically? I typically don't have the full amount of hair enabled while I work, only for renders/screenshots. I usually have the guide hairs out (like below) and I disable the interpolated hairs in the modifier list. Even when I'm grooming the fur.

Unfinished version of the drawing above. Outlines are drawn with a black gel pen. The details inside the figure, drawn with a pencil, are faintly visible.

Half-finished version of the drawing above. The figure is mostly colored, aside from a blank patch over the hindlegs.

Fire horsie. Brought to you by metal horse (me). I think a horse of metal and fire is typically called a motorbike

Stylized drawing in the shape of a restless horse, with parts made to resemble flames. Drawn with gel pens on paper, and edited digitally.

A can of Corm' Flakes for the mini sea ravens. "Salmon flavored" implying it's not salmon? Then what the hell is in it... A warm-up drawing. I'm trying to resist the urge to keep tweaking it until the heat death of the universe #Tetra

Kata opens a can of Corm Flakes for a bunch of tame pygmy cormorants. The birds sitting on her shoulders are eager to make the contents of the can disappear into their beaks. She lets them, but she eyes the nondescript chunks of processed food with some suspicion.

Melinda Vass@whiteraven90· Dec 30

Found that changing the Scale value from 0.7 to 0.1 makes the fur on the head look almost identical to the way I intended it to look. Not sure why this is, but yay (I swear I'm trying not to work on the cat)

Blender screenshot. Scale value in Hair Curves Noise Modifier is circled in red. Close-up of black cat is on the left

Melinda Vass@whiteraven90· Dec 30

This year I did all the things, and everything happened too. Maybe next year could be... bit less wall-to-wall action, bit more rest Can't believe I Blendered Pegasus this year, feels like forever ago #artvsartist #artvsartist2025

Melinda Vass@whiteraven90· Dec 29

Got an urge to prove that I mainly do 2D art, for some mysterious, unknown reason. These were preliminary sketches for the illustration below

Two sketchbook pages filled with various drawings of bears. Top left has some owlbears, top right has one drawing of a hand gesture

Two sketchbook pages filled with drawings of foliage, mainly trees. There's some unintelligible writing in the top left

First round of silver blotched tabby. Needs adjustments, but I like it. #Blender

3D model of a silver blotched tabby cat with blue eyes, standing.

3D model of a silver blotched tabby cat. A close-up of the face. This time the eyes are green.

Melinda Vass@whiteraven90· Dec 28

First shot of the cat, and the latest. They grow up so fast 🙃 I sculpted it in a now ~15 years old version of Sculptris with mouse and keyboard. Not sure how common that is. I dislike tablet controls and 3D programs dislike my (similarly aged) tablet
