art fight 2025
I posted a speedpaint in case you're interested in the process (and also as an excuse to recommend a song): https://youtu.be/Z0Cay2RJ1rY
To rubic: The invitation I got to Toyhouse was actually sourced from you, so I'm familiar with your work. All of the Drawpile content you post is really fun :] I enjoy the ideas and the boundless energy you bring to characters interacting with one another in every which way. I wanted to try my hand at elaborating on Acheron based on the short description you posted; kind and well-meaning character who is constantly at odds with and doing damage control for their own severe facial expression and their hasty sentence construction could make for fun, snowballing scenarios, I think. Rose would probably be good at bailing her out of certain situations…
To SadColor: This was originally going to be a drawing of just Acheron before I realized that it'd be more fun to give her somebody to interact with. You can probably guess how I got to Arcana because I can't leave her well enough alone. Their color palettes kind of match, coincidentally. I've drawn maybe one or two short Arcana comics before, and you've since posted a few doodles and such where she has some dialogue, so I wanted to try and match her vocabulary with the two small speech bubbles she gets here, since that's something I do think about. I think I also get more points for targeting you because you are on the other team. Unfortunately, this means that you're #owned forever and your battle ratio will never recover. You will simply have to forgive me………
Something a little different than my usual for colouring, with copics, I hope that's ok! I thought watercolours might be a little too faint for all the vibrant palettes you have going on, but I might try both if time allows this season! :3

I'll post separate images on Tumblr and Bluesky, but if you want a high quality one, feel free to DM me.
Your characters are super cool.
Had a lot of fun rendering Soft, I tried to base their pose off of Makoto's stance from third strike, and I just couldn't resist drawing two firey robots together.
Hope you enjoy!
As for the side note, I don't really know where to start for thanking you. For something as simple as reaching out about Stuffing, you really have changed my life as an artist. All of your support and advice has been irreplaceable and I don't know how I'd be doing without it. It's been a great pleasure to return the support and cheer you on too. Between all of the interesting OCs and the striking and colorful art, I know you'll be able to accomplish whatever you'll want to make with ease. I'm looking forward to see how far we both go :>
Whos gears are also guilty rn 🤔 🤔 🤔
