10th-13th Attack // Revenge Bundle 2 (2 gif versions in replies) Kee and Locke for @kelseye.bsky.social Linux for @/natalienoodles Khelani for @/rikanavi Nova-7 for @/n0va227 -- #artfight #teammystery #artfight2026 #artsky #destinythegame #ocs

Digital illustration of two characters.

The one in the front is looking mostly forward and is visibly annoyed/grumpy. They have leather armor, a black scarf, and a black hat covering their hair and ears. They also have gold-ish goggles on the hat. Only visible parts of them is their head and until just a bit under their shoulders.

The character in the back is slightly blurry but clear enough to see that they have a happy/proud expression. They have a big metal collar around their neck with three hoops of chain attached at the front. They also have a very loose vest that only partly covers one of their top surgery scars.

Digital illustration of a character banging on a large window. Viewer sees this from the outside while the character is on the inside. The character is visible from just above their knees.

The character is a humanoid in black with the only other distinct shapes being their armor (white). Their helmet has horns that curve upwards. Every piece of armor on their left (viewer's right) has a symbol of a circle with three drips on it - this the thigh armor, forearm bracer, palm cover, and shoulder pad with the addition of the right side of the chest plate and the forehead space of the helmet. The character also has long black strings in place of a cape.

Digital illustration of a black haired witch with a large witches' hat. Half of her face is hidden by the shadow cast by the hat. She is visible from just under the shoulders upwards.

All the witch's clothing is red and her silhouette is outlined with a very bright red that is clearly distinct from the rest of the image.

Digital illustration of a Destiny Guardian (a Hunter) about to throw three fiery knives (Barrage). They are visible from above their waist-ish and up. Their armor includes the Crucible symbol on the chest.

Digital illustration - a scene of two draconic characters sharing a drink. There is only a couple colors beyond an otherwise sepia colored image.

He also has sharp bone growths on his chin. He wears a vers and sleeveless shirt. The colored part of him is the vest (orange), his visible eye (glowing orange/yellow), and a coin hanging off his neck (gold-ish). The character on the right is a lot more draconic (humanoid dragon sans wings, basically). He wears a hat with two feathers and a long old navy coat. The colored parts of hin are the coat (blue with yellow/gold trims on the collar and sleeve cuffs), and his visible eye (white/very light grey).

The character (Patina) has dark magenta-ish skin, short lime hair (the ends of which are yellow) and yellow eyes. They also have a sort of slim antenna that end in small yellow bits. Patina is wearing a light blue shirt, though only the top of it is visible in the image.

Twin brother gets caught up with the wrong people that bring out all of his existing worst opinions, brother then doesn't get chosen as monarch of their country, brother then proceeds to almost destroy the world. Man is left with chronic pain, hatred of his own face, and a big ol' heap of trauma.

2nd Attack >:3 Sartre and Locke for @/yellowpipple (AF and Unvale) Check out yellowpipple's story, their goobers are so cool 😌🤌 -- #artfight #teammystery #artfight2026 #artsky #digitalart

Digital illustration of two characters with a somewhat ominous vibe.

The character in the back (Sartre) is a Davy Jones-esque character, though his head is entirely white. He has a sort of feather-ish headpiece and clothing;(robe) too dark to properly see. In front of him is a blonde pirate (Locke) with a mustache and goatee, his arms are crossed over his chest. His face is otherwise not drawn and the top part of it is shadowed over. Locke has a dark coat with gold tassels at the ends and gold trim at the bottom and the sleeves.

They are standing in a vague and dark environment with a very dark sea between them (there is also a bit of fog around).

★Thief of Bones★ | « Team Mystery, COMMS »@thiefofbones· Jul 2

First Attack!! I promised I would get @/adyvanickova first this year so I absolutely had to go with Hyacint :3 Y'all should definitely go read Ady's Second Planet comic 🫵👁️👁️ (on Tapas or Globalcomix) -- #artfight #teammystery #artsky #artfightattack #artfight2026

Digital illustration (bust) of Hyacint Thorndike from the Second Planet comic.

One more ref sheet before Art Fight :P One step closer to having all the Nine Silvers in ref sheet form :3 -- #artfight #teammystery #ocrefsheet #ocsky #originalcharacter

Digital illustration of an original character holding a sword that is propped up on the ground. There is no background (transparent).

The character (Arika) has dark skin and very dark brown slightly curly hair. She has pointed ears and dark brown eyes.

Arika is wearing a metal plate on her chest (and back, which is not visible) + metal armor to protect her joints. Otherwise she has dark blue fabric under it and even darker pants and gloves.

Made another ref and forgot to post it✌️ artfight.net/character/80... -- #artfight #teammystery #artfight2026 #ocrefsheet #ocsky #originalcharacter

Digital illustration of two versions of an original character. The one on the left is with a coat, the one on the right is without.

The dark character has loosely tied black curly hair. A dark green scarf covers most of her face (from neck to nose). Beyond that she has a dark purple coat that splits into four parts at the waist. Under the coat there are slightly lighter clothes (which are more visible on the left side) - simple pants and a sleeveless top which ends a little bit a over her waist.

She is holding a dagger in her right hand (viewer's left) and another is floating above her left hand, which is intentionally stretched out for that. The dagger is surrounded in a green glow as well.

★Thief of Bones★ | « Team Mystery, COMMS »@thiefofbones· Jun 18

Adding a couple refs before AF starts. Not for every OC (wayyyyy too many of those to do them all on time lmao) but a few extras won't hurt ;P -- #artfight #teammystery #artfight2026 #ocrefsheet #ocsky #digitalart

Reference sheet for an OC "Kryn Fenfel".
A hooded individual with a wooden mask. He has a green shirt and hood, is leaning on a crutch and has an herbarium and potion bottles strapped on his left side (viewer's right). He also has a very simple brace on his left leg.

From the left there is a full body illustration of him with a color breakdown. Then there is his name, a color breakdown for his crutch and cane, angles of his mask, a scars placement, and a simple unshaded bust sketched of his unmasked face.

Coming back to Bluesky with a hundred notifications and a last minute Mermay piece 💅 -- #mermay

Digital illustration of a merman in the ocean reaching upward towards the light coming through the water's surface. His right arm is blocking some the light rays from going into his eyes.

The character is shown from side view. He has light brown (close to ginger but quite there yet) just under shoulder length but it is floating so that isn't entirely clear in the image. His eyes have dark green whites and large glowing pupils (almost yellowing green). There's gills on his neck and under his ribcage (right before the skin transitions into scales).
The fish part (tail) is dark green with sharp spines coming out of the back of it with the same color and a couple yellowish stripes (those glow a little in the dark). The fins are a lighter green that fade into being lightly transparent, same as the webbing between his fingers.
His arms also have spots where his skin looks as though it's "revealing" scales underneath it (same as the tail).
He has bandages wrapped around his torso/stomach area and a very short torn up vest.
The arm resting at his side (his left arm) also has a tattoo on the shoulder part. The tattoo is a ship's wheel with octopus tentacles coiling around it.

Same as previous image but cropped to show the upper part of the character's body.

Wendell has his gardens, so yes! His favorite are roses, which he's cultivated over many years into a unique new one as well :3

Final DTIYS Prize (no.8) Marlow for @/adyvanickova on Cara :3 Go take a look at Ady's art and read her comic 🫵👁️👁️ cara.app/post/ccbc4df... -- #bonesthiefDTIYS

Digital full-body illustration of a pirate skeleton character (Marlow). They are holding a cutlass over their shoulder (their left hand) while their right si resting on their hip bone.

They have a turquoise/cyan cloak wrapped around their neck, a torn sleeves top that covers their ribcage, a blue hat and boots, and a singular leather glove on their right hand. The hat also contains what is essentially a large bundle of pink feathers and/or fabric. Marlow also wears an eyepath with a simplistic eye drawn on it over their left eye socket and has multiple golden bracelets, a necklace with what is essentially a large golden coin, a bead necklace, a ring with a large green gem on their gloved hand, as well as a few gems inlaid directly in their spine. Marlow also has two gold rings embedded in their hip bone and two in their left femur (thigh bone). They also wear no pants.

The image background is gradient from dark red-ish brown brownon the left to a lighter one on the right.

The same image as previous but cropped to only show from Marlow's skull to just a bit below their ribcage.

The same as first image but with a transparent background.

I FORGOT TO POST THIS AAAAAAAAA My bit for @skyefrost.bsky.social's Pick The Pencil!! -- #artsky #ocsky #digitalart #scifi #originalcharacter

Digital illustration of a masked character. Transparent background. There are two versions of the character on the image. On the left they are colored, while on the right they are monochrome with only blue accents.

The character has a smooth mask covering their face and a hood that is slightly pointed at the back. The hood is attached to a short cloak (ends at around the character's elbows). The character also had a long flowy coat held together by two buttons.

The character looks purposefully glitchy in a way that small rectangular pieces are "disappearing" from them. They also look a bit as if they are floating freely. Their left hand (viewer's right) is held up in a heart sign and above their hand is a blue heart that resembles a hologram screen. Glitchy blue bits are scattered about the characters as well, looking similar to the heart.

★Thief of Bones★ | « Team Mystery, COMMS »@thiefofbones· Apr 5

The very first was a Wacom Intuos like this, only smaller. I remember it lasting for maybe a year and a half at most before I upgraded to a bigger version that I still use today. (I think it's around 7-8 years old now? Potentially more? No idea.) I've only ever had the two :P
