My recent artfight attack thumbnails are so funny, there's, left to right: MS Paint art Animated tiny pixel art Textured high contrast BW art Child book-like art My usual lineless art My bright detailed lined art

A series of six art thumbnails each looking a bit different, featuring the faces of the characters - left to right: a tan man with glasses, a purple merfolk, a bearded man in BW, a snow leopard chibi, a faerie with blue hair, and a rabbit anthro.

I finished this one yesterday and I think it's one of my favorite attacks I've done so far this year! For ~Viola_Moreels who has a super cool, colorful sona and gives a lot of artistic freedom to draw, so I went all out with colors ♥️

A bunny anthro character playing a guitar. Character has two asymmetric horns and wings, rabbit ears, a cheerful expression and is wearing very colorful clothes in black, magenta, blue, yellow and green.

Nala @ Artfight (Abby)@nalvali· 23d

And one for @snail-legs.co.uk who, you are not going to believe this because I only noticed now, you were the first person I ever attacked on artfight in 2017! In fact we drew for each other in 2017, 18 and 19 but your UN didn't click because you had another one back in 2018 :0

A character with mid-length wavy hair is looking down peacefully at the globe she's holding on her hands. She has little wings behind her, some sort of metaphoric halo with stars around her head. She has a bow and the whole piece is drawn in greyscale, with ink.

Nala @ Artfight (Abby)@nalvali· 23d

Gonna share a couple more! First targeted to @sagewiitch.bsky.social who I first met already in 2020! And with @babbyrat.art because these two characters are so beautiful together ;w; Time flies by like what do you mean it's been 6 years, it feels like we were yapping about OCs a year ago :0

A man with dark skin and long black hair, wearing an armor and a gold and blue cape, is holding a sword while there's a semi transparent bust of his partner, a woman with dark skin and hair looking peacefully, wearing jewelry and a white blouse.

Nala @ Artfight (Abby)@nalvali· 25d

And a few zoom ins, because the real drawing is huge for all this detail. More important characters are more detailed, while smaller are flatter. Here's, in order, some of newer favs, some of my older and still important OCs, my real old OCs, and my sonas!

Highlight of Onyx, an orc-like woman OC with a lot of hair, two bottom fangs, and hairy skin, looking at her friend Vakna, a chubby human woman with hair half-tied, red armor, waving back.

Highlight of the Lilith sisters at the left, one in red and a white top hat, one in black and blue jester outfit, and one in teal and orange jester outfit. To the right, four characters, with Mars telling some sort of joke and having her arm around Quinn, who is laughing along. To Mars' left there's Amir, a short character with little horns and short yellow-red hair, and a taller one named Alma, who has quite some hair volume, and some sort of cloak

Highlight of my old OCs Kai, Abby and Kira. Kai is a guy with short-ish brown hair and a flannel, next there's Abby, a non-binary character with long-ish black hair and some blue streaks, wearing a hoodie and winking at Kira, who is the shorter woman with short ginger hair, smiling back at them.

Highlight of my sonas Nala the brown bear, looking at Hiku the red panda, who is waving his arm.

Don't take me back, cause I will find Find it out as I go go go All the answers on this road This is the huge illustration of my original characters I've been working on for more than a year on-and-off ♥️ #NalaOCs #originalcharacter #OCs

Huge illustration with 140 of my OCs distributed in different sizes for the composition. The most relevant ones are two black cryptids at the top (Kiz, an elk-shaped cryptid with a scarf, and Shin, a chubby feline-shaped cryptid holding a globe). Kiz is looking down at Sky, a blue haired man with glasses around the center to the right. Sky is being kind of hugged by his husband Tesh, while Sky holds a small light in his hands, and looks down more or less in the direction of Adrie. Adrie is the bottom center one, a non-binary character stretching a hand to the viewer and pointing back up to Kiz. The other two relevant characters are the women next to Adrie at the bottom: Ilenne, a white haired woman wearing armor, holding a halberd, and Nayru, a woman with a long black braid, winking and holding a spear. The rest of characters are divided by relevancy, bigger at the bottom, smaller at the top. There's a big variety of mostly humanoid characters, furry characters and a few feral (wolves, and invented species). At the top, in the space left as "sky" there are faint hands to the left of Kiz, and some mysterious creature with a halo to the right of Shin.

A couple more attacks in which I tested brushes and turned out super cute :> for ~Cosmicmenace and @elerryn.bsky.social !

A poodle furry and a brown bear furry drinking juice at some cafeteria, chatting!

A firbolg character holding chamomile, smiling to a bigger character with horns and very long fluffy hair, who is smiling back, holding a bunch of blue hydrangeas

As every other year I'm not remembering to keep up with this thread oops, some traditional attacks for ~manayel and @treatmare.bsky.social ! #Artfight2026 #teamcomedy #Artfight

Traditional marker illustration of a rabbit-shaped plush character wearing a yellow sweater, scared of the bust of a similarly face shape character that has grey flames, who is looking menacingly at the plush character.

Same illustration flipped and inverted in colors, with an androgynous humanoid-shaped character with a black-white body and colors on their head. A beam of light is passing through their chest, dispersing into colors behind. The left is the original traditional color version, with the right one being the final attack, after inverting digitally the colors.

Starting my little #Artfight attack thread with three of the attacks I uploaded yesterday ♥️ for @ravisuals.bsky.social @gildedthaumaturge.bsky.social and @jupiterrin.bsky.social #Artfight2026 #teamcomedy

Scene of two characters sitting on the rocks of a beach while they let their pokemon play together by the shore. Left character sitting has tan skin, dark blue hair with lighter blue streaks, a crop top sort of, and long loose blue pants. They are eating an ice cream and looking at their friend, a character with lighter skin, longer red and yellow-y hair, wearing white and grey jacket plus matching pants. He's gesturing with a hand and talking. The pokemon playing in the water are a jangmo-o with an alt. design and a spheal.

A gardevoir OC wearing a head and waist bow, holding the trans flag that flows around her. She has glasses and instead of green, she's mostly purple

Fullbody of a demon character from a 3/4 back view from a low angle, with his black jacket and pants flowing with the ink used to draw. He has little flame horns, white hair and four peak stars around his head.

Sharing older pride arts because I've been a bit down this month - these are my past favorites with some of my main OCs, with whom I share part of my identity ♥️

Art of my OCs Nayru -elf woman with a long black braid- holding the lesbian flag as a cape, and Adrie -half-elf non-binary folk with a braid and ponytail- holding her hand, wearing an ace pin on their vest and a bi flag painted on their cheek.

Pride art of three of my main OCs, the unholy trio: Ray, Ilenne and Val left to right. Ray is a non-binary femme demon wearing a flower crown of the non-binary flag, and holding the lesbian flag. Ilenne has white hair and eyepatch, she has the polyam badge on her shirt and has her hands behind the other two. Val is a blonde man holding the bi flag, wearing a polyam badge too.

Pride OC art of Kiz, one of my older mains, an agender old folk with dark skin and hair tied in braids. They are in a floaty sitting pose holding bluebell flowers, with the aro, ace and non-binary flags behind them.

I realized I hadn't shared my artfight card! here we go #artfight #artfight2026 #teamcomedy

Artfight card for team comedy in oranges and browns, with my username Abby, friendly fire and revenged check in, and pics of my humanoid and furry OCs

Nala @ Artfight (Abby)@nalvali· Jun 23

I cannot pick one...but I suppose one of my most recent obsessions I'm spinning in my head is Alba artfight.net/character/60... Ooh you want to draw a death priestess transfemme demon so bad- And maybe Nayru a bit because she has masks as a motif in a dramatic way oops artfight.net/character/69...

Reference for OC, Alba, a demon priestess with grey skin, wavy black and grey hair, and blue-purple robes.

OC ref for Nayru a elf woman with light skin, a long black braid and brown tunic.

Hii also regarding artfight I made some responsive HTML code templates for OC profiles that anyone can use and edit :) You can find them all on the same folder as the thumbnail frames, and you can see the phone size previews too toyhou.se/NaayrART/cha... #Artfight2026 #Artfight #profilecode #HTML

Simple code with a side image, text in the middle that scrolls and 3 aesthetic pictures at the right column

Code that shows a card with a background, an icon, text that scrolls and images at the bottom for OC connections

Nala @ Artfight (Abby)@nalvali· Jun 19

Heyo fellow artfighters, I made some free to use thumbnail frames, a couple in pixel art and one non-pixel, for all the teams - enjoy! :] You can get them in here toyhou.se/NaayrART/cha... #Artfight #Artfight2026 #teamcomedy #teammystery #teamtragedy

Three sets of artfight 2026 team frames for attack thumbnails. The first one is a pixel type with curtains, a mask and the year. The second row set is also pixel, way simpler just a little frame with the team name and year, and thematic decorations. The third row is non-pixel also featuring the masks, year and team.

Nala @ Artfight (Abby)@nalvali· Jun 17

One of the very cool commissions I've been working on lately, an animated pixel scene set for @rileystarlight.eurosky.social including a couple extra versions and matching icon ♥️ it was SO cool working on this with her, it's been time since I've animated a full scene, and it turned out this good :)

Nala @ Artfight (Abby)@nalvali· Jun 16

Up on Artfight this year too! And some of my fav attacks I did last year, for ~ravisuals, ~vqniix and ~pamham ♥️ artfight.net/~Abby #Artfight #Artfight2026 #teamcomedy

Illustration of a raccoon and a brown bear, both fursonas, eating hot ramen during a 35ºC weather and a text saying: do it for the soup!

A colorful illustration of a clown-like character reaching with her hand towards a red ball on the top left side of the illustration. She's juggling it along a blue and a yellow one.

An illustration of a cute kid character with the wind moving her hair and dress. The frame is of a tarot card saying The Fool on the bottom.

Perhaps until you get a new chair, you could try cushions underneath you? not sure if that could be uncomfortable for your spine though :( but it's the only thing I can think of Regarding a chair if it helps, mine is similar to this but with the top part not separated from the rest +

A black office chair with a curved back and headrest

Hopefully I'm understanding your set up, if this doesn't make sense just assume I'm visualizing something wrong I personally benefit from using an ipad case like this that both protects the ipad and lets me adjust the height/angle. This, on top of my desk (which is also not very big) and an+

Adding background characters to the huge OC drawing because it feels wrong to not add them even though I forgot them in the first place

Wip illustration highlighting two knight characters wearing simple armor. The one at left has pink-ish hair and horns, with light skin and looks calmer. The one at right has short brown-blonde hair and a side shave, she looks more confident. The other characters surrounding them are a woman with dark hair, skin, and pointy ears, and a man with long brown hair and fair skin, carrying some drinks.

Nala @ Artfight (Abby)@nalvali· May 24

OC, personal work/ She's getting somewhere. This drawing is getting somewhere. Where though? I don't know! Experimenting slightly with shading and all of that

Same wip as above but with more detailed shading on the elf woman (Nayru)

OC, personal work/ I cannot believe one day I will be done with this illustration, but it's closer to the end than the start already. I made the first sketch in 2024 I think!

Wip screenshot of an illustration featuring my OC Nayru, a woman with very long dark hair tied in a braid, winking, with her open eye being silver/grey. She has elf ears, a necklace, a yellow-ish coat along a brown tunic.

Also got some energy to update my Ko-fi too a little bit, mostly adding some adopt/character designs I got for sale, and some legacy pixel assets I did years ago which I'm adding here for free too :) ko-fi.com/nalvali/shop

A little preview of free pixel assets and one of the adoptables for sale at my Ko-fi shop. There's multiple colorful small assets on the left preview, bigger colorful buttons on the middle one, and an androgynous flower fairy on the right.

It's #PortfolioDay so heyo! I'm Nala, a Spanish freelance illustrator with book design knowledge, searching for work in kid/teen books and layout design mostly. I also love to draw and design fantasy characters! Portfolio: nalvali.com Commissions: nalvali.carrd.co & vgen.co/Nalvali

Two cover illustrations for an original idea of anthropomorphic animal detectives: Miranda the rabbit and Jess the antelope. The left cover has a light background with Miranda holding a magnifying glass, and the right features a navy cover with some sort of frame, with both Miranda and Jess visible; Miranda holds a lamp while they look around at a dark library, with a bookshelf behind them.

Workflow preparing a spread illustration for an adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood, going from the very initial loose sketch with basic text, to the final shaded illustration with text layout.

Portfolio examples of seamless patterns for book endpapers, stationery, gift paper, and other uses. Top row features three palette variations of the similar elements, while the bottom row features three different patterns: sea theme with fantasy manta rays and jellyfish, bird themed, and chestnut themed

Fantasy character design commission for a client, of a little guy who can transform into a wolf (currently a puppy). As a kid he has dark bobcut hair, wearing a kerchief, a green or teal jacket with dinosaurs, and comfortable pants. He's holding a patchwork fox plushie. As a wolf puppy he keeps the kerchief and his fur pattern is brown, white and black.

My latest non-illustration project ❤️ during rest time I saw in my head this idea to combine my flower drying and bookbinding hobbies! I made a little window to put and seal dried petals, adding a ribbon to tie in the accordion-type sketchbook

Squared sketchbook with crimson fabric tied with a pink ribbon

Same one with ribbon untied showing the window in the center, with dried petals making a composition

digital artists, share your first digital art and year vs. now 2012 vs 2026

Super old drawing of my old OC Azura, some sort of cat-wolf hybrid with wings, with half of the body blue and the other half black, looking at the sky. She's on top of a rock, there's some forest on the background and a moon

Recent drawing of my OC Val, a man with dark skin, light hair, wearing some sort of cream color dress and holding a sunflower. The background is in white and gold, inspired by art nouveau

I can finally share a super cute banner I had a chance to work on for FR, I loved this year's theme with the year of the horse ♥️ besides I love this dragon breed and doing limited palettes it was so much fun!
