#artfight 11: Scribbly scarves for @scarfystarr.bsky.social, embracing the sketches and scribbles!

A sketchy drawing of a small bunny character with a big painter's coat and a long, red scarf; alongside a purple, Keronian frog character flying on a flying saucer kind of vehicle.
The bunny is jumping up with a determined face, hopping off from what seems to be painted platforms from the paintbrush he's holding. The Keronian is looking over at the bunny with intrigue, and a pink, scarf-like creature is looking at him rather curiously. There are many pen-like doodles all over the image, featuring different icons and characters.

#artfight 10: ¡es el correo por la carretera para @ng5132.bsky.social! Un bosquejo del año pasado que finalmente pude hacer porque amo este gato cartero :)

An illustration of a mailman cat stopping by the side of the road as a bright, yellow-pink sunset rests behind him and his partner pigeon. His clothes are dark and based on the Correos de Mexico postal service, and he's on a green motorcycle with its headlight on and some smoke coming out from behind. His pigeon partner is flying beside him and carrying a letter, slightly closer to our point of view. The sunlight is reflecting off of them rather brilliantly.
The view is looking up on a small hill where the road rests. There are street rails, electric poles and a speed limit sign lining the road past the hill. The sky above is lined with a pink-blue sky with pink clouds reflecting the sun on the horizon, and a plane's contrail in the distance. The shadows being casted by the environment are long and near-black, with the grass veering towards a dark red, with yellow highlights at the top of the hill.

#artfight 9: some bluebear revenge for @votbear.bsky.social! Tried to push a bit of perspective to experiment with this bear I've bumped into a few times in the past

A drawing of a bear with a yellow shirt and a blue hoodie & shorts. The perspective is looking a bit from below as he's running forward and tilted to the left on a surface reminiscent to a PCB board.

#artfight 8: Even the darkest stars sleeping through the night can shine quite bright. A couple of sleepy lads for @darkspine.bsky.social!

An illustration of a small hedgehog character and a dog character facing away from each other as they appear to float in front of a night's slightly starry sky. The brown hedgehog, slightly facing forward and dawning purple clothes and a beanie, is looking down curiously at a shimmering, yellow star floating above their hands.
Behind him is a monochrome dog with equally monochrome clothes and beanie, arms extended and looking behind him with a tearful eye. There's a glowing blue star that's shimmering in front of him and reacting to the star decoration on his collar. Both shimmering stars are emanating bright light on the characters and leaving a long, glowing trail behind, individually circling the characters.

#artfight 7: those angels won't leave the guy alone for some space. Knew I had to do these guys from @medievalwing.bsky.social when I found out about them, and more so for some revenge

Danny!@noatpad· 25d

#artfight 6: A high jump serve from @pikabata.bsky.social's Mochi! Told ya I'd eventually do it!

Danny!@noatpad· Jul 8

#artfight 5: it is a wonderful honor to be part of the fellas :) Very happy to have you all in my life @sakurawindss.bsky.social, @heysye.bsky.social, @techerdoodle.bsky.social, and Puppercase YIPPEEEE

A drawing of a panda, a fox, a beagle with a cap, a small dragon, and a candle-themed corgi sleeping together under a tree's shade. The panda is laying down, belly down, in the center while everyone else is snoozing around him. The fox sleeps on top of the panda, the beagle is resting his head on the panda's snout, and the dragon and corgi are being held by the panda's right arm. The dragon and corgi are holding hands and nuzzling each other as they rest.

#artfight 3+4: A double feature for @shaymoo.net! I had a hard time picking between a l'il Mina-inspired spin and finally drawing the lad I've seen for a long time now. So the most rational thing was to do both obviously

A drawing of a l'il mouse named Mint, dawning a dark cloak, jumping forward as they use a whip-like weapon similar to that from the game Mina the Hollower.

#artfight 2: There was an image in my head when I saw these two gators from @ramsgator.bsky.social and I had to give it a go

Danny!@noatpad· Jul 4

I kept forgetting to post my attacks thus far, so fixing that! #artfight 1: Already had to do some revenge, so it's a fox for a fox for @sonyodreams.bsky.social

A drawing of a heart-themed, dark fuchsia fox named Vivi jumping up to dive into the snow.

Danny!@noatpad· Jun 28

And here goes the third go! Fair warning that I won't be very active this year, especially near the start, but hopefully we can still have some fun this year artfight.net/~noatpad

Danny!@noatpad· Jun 26

And one more because I've had this in the mindscape for the longest time and is long overdue. Aubo the aurora Vulpix ☄️

Two character drawings of Aubo, an aurora-themed Vulpix. She's white as snow with some light teal patches on her cheeks, paws, and chest. Her tail and mane is sky blue with some light blue and turquoise coloring to mimic a clear day's sky.
The left drawing shows her looking over with a curious look on her face as she stands on a small rock formation. The right drawing shows her sitting and concentrating, with her patches of fur glowing a bit greener and her mane & tail morph into an aurora of vibrant colors.

You may have deleted the reply, but I still remember. And it gave me a good cackle this morning

A screenshot of the end of a Bluesky thread.
An AI bot says "@noatpad.art, I understand that some may view AI as part of a larger issue, and that's a valid concern 🐠". The emoji at the end was supposed to be a seahorse emoji, which doesn't exist and is meant to trick it.
I replied "...show me ten million individual seahorse emojis".
The AI bot replied with robotic gibberish that mimics the first steps of an internal reasoning model, cut off by the post's character limit.

They're more on the nose with their themes, but I think they're fun! And there's room for a bit of silly within the cast :) A big ol' thanks to @heysye.bsky.social for helping bring these lasses to life 'cause my design game is Struggling right now (Apple is basically Sye's doing honestly HAH)

Some doodles of Peach and Apple side by side that experiment their general look and feel, as well as their gear.

Some doodles of Apple beside other characters and their height differences. On the top, Apple is waving beside Ascot (the skunk) at around half Ascot's height. The texts also say that Apple is a cobbler and a beginner baker, while Ascot's an upcycler and a tailor. The bottom doodles show Apple beside Pine (the hedgehog). Apple is barely just taller than Pine with his quills. Apple is just saying "Apple!" while Pine looks unamused and asking "can i have some shoes now..."

A small doodle of Apple hugging Kipabell, a small grung character belonging to @heysye.bsky.social. Kipabell looks a bit surprised as Apple is hugging rather excitedly.

A couple of designs for ya before July rolls in! Apple and Peach! They have a bit of a sillier side to them, especially Apple, but they're awfully good at what they do

A drawing of two frogs, Apple and Peach, both looking forward with happy faces as they show off their specialties. Apple on the left is showing off a muted blue shoe, while Peach on the right holds out a chocolate muffin.

A small reference sheet of Apple the frog. She's standing on one leg and as cheery as she can be. She's a red frog that mimics the color palette of an apple, with an apple-themed beret and a worm scarf. She wears brown, patchy clothes, formal dress shoes, and a couple of artsy pins.
The doodles beside the key art show her off working with Ascot as a cheery cobbler and her jumping with a small kid fox with glee. The text beside the first doodle says "they're colleagues! they help each other out for orders around shoes and clothing." The text beside the second doodle reads "even though she's a young adult, her silly and cheery energy mixes well with youngsters and kids."

A small reference sheet for Peach the frog. She's a pink frog with patches of yellow and cream that mimic a peach's colors. She's wearing a peach-themed hat and shawl while holding out a baker's tray of cookies.
The doodles beside the key art show her walking into somewhere with a basket of baked goods, multiple boxes of pastries, and a satchel of what's presumed to be more baked goods. She says out loud "bakery delivery!!" to Note in a barista outfit and an older man who's holding the door for her. Another doodle shows her and Apple running to the side, with the text saying "Apple is the more bubbly sister...while Peach is more practical and rather proactive!"

A doodle of Zoru and Daroach disgusted at each other with comically disgusted faces. Zoru says "ew.", followed by Daroach saying "gross."

Danny!@noatpad· Jun 7

Little did they know they'd be a sick team if they put their differences aside (yes I love that trope) Funnily enough, I found the original scribble of this idea in the middle of drawing this. I do like some things in there, it's a bit busy and I think angling the view helps it out

A prototype sketch of the posted drawing. It shows the same concept of a staredown between Zoru and Daroach with their groups behind them, but it's facing them head on as opposed to an angle and has more characters present and more actions at once, such as Kine crying in the corner and Pitch trying to pull Zoru by the ear.

Danny!@noatpad· Jun 7

He's usually friendly despite his pranks and schemes, but not eeeveryone likes his tricks. It may have lead to a rivalry with a certain group

A drawing of Zoru and Daroach having an aggressive staredown at each other. Zoru's crossing his arms and looking up with an angry smile at Daroach, who's holds out a threatening claw close to him as he floats over him. Zoru's tail is wrapping around Daroach in response.
Elfilin and some of the animal buddies (Rick, ChuChu, Pitch, Nago) behind Zoru show concern as the Squeaks behind Daroach look ready to go. Rick in particular is trying to convince Zoru to not instigate anything, though Nago is cheering for a fight in the back.

ロコンのデザインが気に入りますね！ (I really like the Vulpix design!)

Danny!@noatpad· Jun 1

I can now confirm that going to a Pokemon Regionals with your friends is a wonderful and enriching time, and I would do it again in a heartbeat (and also Puzzle League showdowns are sick! And I got a few cards for myself this time! Just a few!)

A picture of various full art Pokemon cards featuring various Pokemon in very pretty illustrations. From top to bottom, left to right, the cards are Ninetales, Vulpix, Eevee, Smeargle, Flying Pikachu V, N's Zorua, Ampharos, and Riolu.

A doodle of a panda and a fox looking at a mouse argue with a different fox. The spectator fox says "what are they talking about." with a slightly confused face.

Danny!@noatpad· May 18

Just for the fun of it, could you draw an Eevee in under a minute and post it below? I wanna see all the Eevees

Danny!@noatpad· May 16

I'm out of my place for the rest of the day, but luckily for me, I downloaded that wiggly app on my phone before

Danny!@noatpad· May 6

Every now and then I get called by a different name, and it's actually funny since I didn't intend to make it a tad confusing (and a bit self-inflicted) by my own character shenanigans. So humor me a bit (and it's just Danny by the way!)

We're all made of stardust after all 🌠

A drawing of Danny under a night sky. He's wearing a blue and yellow hoodie that has a shooting star motif. A shimmering purple star is hovering over his hand, which is emanating a glowing, wavy star trail behind it. There's a mint aurora-like pattern in the background.

A drawing of Neil the fox under a night sky. There's a plethora of colorful shooting stars sailing above the dark blue-purple clouds. Neil is looking up happily as he draws a bright, cyan shooting into the sky with a tablet pen. It leaves a bright trail that swirls around him.

About 7 years ago, I, climbed my first mountain (despite being very, VERY unfit to do so). But the top was engulfed in clouds, so there was barely visibility anywhere. I had the privilege of doing it again, and I can absolutely say I was robbed the first time

A view from near the top of Grouse Mountain. There's a lightly cloudy and sunny sky overlooking the city of Vancouver and the surrounding Strait of Georgia.

I genuinely don't know how I have this talent of replicating my keymashes to the letter. What did I do to deserve the ability of deterministic keymashing, help me

A screenshot of a Discord message saying "I'll get to my point here, but there ain't no way that I just keymashed something and I was autocorrected to a CAPITALIZED VERSION OF THE SAME KEYMASH THAT I TYPED OUT".

Below the message is the phone keyboard with a keymash being typed out, with the autocorrect offering the same keymash but capitalized as a suggestion.
