Sometimes you play a character for years before you figure out what niche they occupy in their world. Sometimes, the answer is "Chosen One Adventurer". And sometimes, the answer is "Bitchy Employee at the Parks Office".

#yknow for someone doing history education I really don't super vibe with WWII or the Roman Empire! At all!#they're periods of history that are important and I have dozens of books on them but I don't read them if I want to have a good afternoon#ships though? holy shit. I will listen to documentaries about industrial maritime accidents for hours and hours.#like i don't go here#i'm just a humanities nerd#but the physics of huge bodies of water and the engineering challenges they produce are so fascinating

One of the most cursed things about elves getting basically frozen at age twenty-something in D&D is that when you put together a family of them, the end result is like a Sims save with the aging turned off. Everyone at the family gathering looks like they still get carded at the grocery store.

Hm oddly enough I'm not getting any errors telling me the artfight site is down! Navigating works just fine, it just seems like the attack buttons haven't gone live yet.
#all jokes aside I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW LUCKY I GOT?? I managed to get an attack in on hour two of day one???#actually unheard of#I wish I could extend my luck to you friend 😔

Aaaaaaa my partner and I found out our best friend designed a bunch of weddings for us, that turned into a conversation about what wedding practices would be meaningful to us, and now I've got terminal wedding brain.
One of the ideas I really liked was - since we both do fiber arts - to make/modify our clothes ourselves! Each of us would embroider the other's wedding clothes with floral designs, and neither of us would see exactly what the other made until the wedding.
My partner also had an idea which I love, which is to ask our extended family to each mail us a square of fabric and to work together quilting them into our chuppah. Which we'd hold onto as a keepsake.
And the ceremony's got to be at some park on one of the Great Lakes, obviously.
#unrelated post#wedding ideas#hhhhh is it insane to be this wedding-brained on a one-year anniversary#my partner is just as wedding-brained so. if it is crazy we're both nuts.

We've been doing a series of mini-sessions exploring what the characters are doing over a month-long timeskip. Arthur has discovered that instead of doing fieldwork he can fulfill his professional obligations by doing paperwork, and that realization has created a monster for the local resource extraction companies.

Been watching some videos discussing previous years’ ArtFight drama and wanted to say:
When I was a very young artist (~10-12) on the internet for the first time, there was this artist who I really looked up to because I loved her style. I didn’t try to talk to her a lot because I was too shy, but I did draw her one or two gift arts and expressed how much I loved her work.
And then one day, to my absolute surprise and delight, she drew me a gift art back! It absolutely blew my mind that someone I perceived as such an amazing high-level artist took notice of a dorky little kid like me and took the time to draw one of my characters as a gift.
That artist and I were never friends per se, barely acquaintances—which, understandable, there was absolutely a massive maturity gap lol. At this point she probably doesn’t even remember who I am. But that one act of kindness has always stuck with me, even now 15+ years later.
That said, the drama about people not wanting to make art for beginner artists is absolutely bizarre to me. I love drawing beginner artists’ characters, because it makes them so happy!
An excited comment from someone whose day was made because I drew their character fills me with just as much joy, if not more, than a beautiful illustration of my own character. Obviously I still enjoy receiving nice art of my own characters too, but the main reason I participate in ArtFight is to give art. If I can do for even just one beginner what that other artist did for me over a decade ago, I consider that a success!

I think having to make refs for art fight is kinda overblown, people get all stressed about making fully rendered perfect refs in time but honestly just using one or two full-body pics of your character that youve already drawn will work just fine. if you need a new pic then do a quick sketch, put the basic color palettes under it, and that works too. I just dont want people to feel intimidated about doing artfight cus they feel they HAVE to make brand new perfect refs or get burnt out on drawing after they make a bunch of them
#fr!#Some of my favorite characters I've found on there have been pages from sketchbooks or a single render or similar!#ultimately what you're doing is just... introducing your character to other artists#from that premise you get as detailed (or not) as you'd like

(Maude belongs to a friend so I haven't put her up, but if you're on Artfight this year, consider annihilating this goofy twink Artemi!)
