it's surprisingly easy #art

illustration of fritz, a cartoon guy wearing a sailor shirt and shorts and posing like he's in a model sheet or a piece of official stock art, saying:

"I LOVE TO install custom firmware on my Nintendo 3DS™, Nintendo 3DS XL™ , Nintendo 2DS™, New Nintendo 3DS™, New Nintendo 3DS XL™, and/or New Nintendo 2DS XL™ handheld gaming system(s) by following the instructions available at the https://3ds.hacks.guide/ webpage, then take full advantage of my newly unlocked system(s) by opening the FBI homebrew software and selecting "Remote Install" followed by "Scan QR Code" to easily download any Nintendo 3DS™ game I want for completely free by using the system's built-in camera to scan its corresponding QR code on the https://hshop.erista.me/ webpage, not to mention using the TwiLightMenu++ homebrew software (downloadable through the Universal Updater homebrew software) to play games released on the Nintendo DS™ system for completely free after adding them to my SD card as .nds files (downloadable from various webpages), using the Checkpoint homebrew software to back up my save data and/or add cheats to my Nintendo 3DS™ games, and even giving my Home Screen a fresh new coat of paint by installing cool themes and/or badges from the https://themeplaza.art/themes webpage using the same nifty QR code tech mentioned earlier, and doing a whole bunch of other awesome stuff with my system available to learn about on the World Wide Web... ...IT'S MY FAVORITE THING!"

(yes, that's all one sentence)

#artfight attack for @fallenrockstars.rip! #art #retro

vintage style illustration of donnie, a grayish-purple anthro raccoon, strumming his electric guitar with a serene but confident expression as wobbly, ghostly waves of purple-pink matter emanate from it

fritz in 3DS land #art #oc

a colors! 3D drawing of fritz, a cartoon character with curly hair wearing a sailor shirt and shorts, sitting inside a color wheel and staring forwards. in the background are a painted landscape featuring a flowery meadow next to a lake and mountains, and a partial screenshot from super smash bros. 4 featuring a dock on a tropical island. hovering to the right is the crudely-drawn outline of a nintendo 3DS and a pencil that draws a line connecting to fritz. the caption, in rainbow lettering, reads “what is this place? i’ve never been here and yet it feels so very familiar. it must have meant a lot to someone a very, very long time ago.”

a photo of the painting as displayed on the hardware/software used to create it (colors! 3D on a new nintendo 3DS XL)

#artfight attack for Qyenmeo! #art #vintage

traditional drawing of joan hoffman, a light-skinned woman with black hair in a beehive style, wearing a red turtleneck sweater and gazing to the left. in the background next to her are some white lilies, death upon its pale horse as depicted in the rider-waite tarot deck, and some simple midcentury style cartoons of joan’s face. the piece is drawn in red and black ink, and shaded partially with red crayon.

first attack of the year starring none other than @possessedopossum.bsky.social's ashton! #art #artfight

vintage comic style illustration of legally-distinct totally not william shatner in an airplane, looking away in terror as ashton, a deer with big curly hair and a sweater with the words "plane crazy" taps on the window... from outside! the inside of the plane is black and white, while the view outside is a collage of celestial imagery, bursting with color that breaks inside in the form of colorful goop and a subtle glow.

sometimes the process is beyond parody

screenshot of a clip studio paint layer named "Layer 4 Copy 3 2 Copy", an unholy amalgamation of suffixes formed through being duplicated and merged countless times over three and a half hours

revealing my most well-kept secret for #makeaterriblecomicday2026 #art #comic

panel 1: nobody knows it, but i've actually been really tiny this whole time. (the artist, a very tiny person with curly hair and glasses, sitting on an eraser next to a ruler leaning against a wall, with a dollar bill on the ground next to him)
panel 2: they don't make art supplies small enough for me to use... (the artist next to a sketchbook, struggling to pick up a mechanical pencil from the eraser end)
panel 3: ...so i have to put a lot of effort into each line. that's why i work so slowly. (the artist lifting the pencil with his whole body, shakily drawing a line in the sketchbook)

some of my artfight attacks from last year!! can’t wait to do it all again

a 1970s anthro dog office worker, gazing upwards and blushing as his pen leaves a big ink blot on a form he’s supposed to be filling out

two my little pony characters walking next to each other through a lush spring meadow with a rainbow overhead. one pony is a pink pegasus with swirling smoke and peppermint markings, and the other is a purple unicorn with an afro and hippie jewelry

a mad scientist, rendered in angular, blocky shapes, posing dramatically and laughing maniacally

a young woman wearing an enormous jacket and chunky boots, smiling at the viewer. she has two small stars on her face and is standing in front of a backdrop similar to the explosion hazard symbol

it's not even happening with all my characters either, really weird. i submitted a bug report so hopefully it gets addressed soon

artfight character page with only 4 images that lets me upload a new one, as is normal

Starite 🌟@starite· Jun 15

i keep getting this error message even though there's less than 6 images, and when i delete one it gives me a different error. functional website ig

artfight.net telling me soleil has reached the maximum number of images (6) that can be uploaded for a single character, despite there clearly only being 4 images

happy pride! 🌈☀️ #art #oc

a vintage-style illustration of fritz, a young blond man wearing a sailor shirt and shorts, carrying a large pride flag (gilbert baker's 1978 design) above his head as he walks on a cobblestone path. in the background are some buildings (two with postwar modern architecture and one built in a more traditional style), a tree, some birds flying, and the brightly shining sun, all against a light blue and slightly cloudy sky.
