Yep, yep, yep.

It's being a little generous with 'taking care of others' (I'm very selective nowadays), and I don't know if moody quotes is my thing? I do love tragedy though and storytelling so I guess that passes.

I actually attempted this composition with him in 2020?? But never finished it because I wasn't entirely happy with the direction. So this year, Art Fight was a good excuse to try again.

Who of the two wore it better? 🤔
Moody and dark digital painting with greys, cyan and bright purple of a muscular figure, clad in black feathery clothes, seated upon a lush cloth throne while smoking a cigar and grasping the head of a mortified subject in his other hand. He grins with blue, sharp teeth at the viewer.

#artfight #pastels #artsky #monster
A monstrous, muscular figure with a cyan stone at the centre of his chest, dressed in elegant clothes and a feathery black shoulder cape reclines against a lush punk seat, staring with a sharp, toothy grin at the viewer. Everything is in pastel cyans, pinks and yellows, but it's hardly sweet.

Illustration in sepia tones of a bunch of biomech monsters with spiky spines hassling a human (self-portrait of the artist), who's dressed in a white suit and pants. She's holding a stack of papers away from one who's desperate to get a hold of them, and a second who's curious. The third, shorter, is trying to stop the second, while a fourth giant watches from afar with a derpy, curious look to him.

Illustration of two figures tumbling through a rolling thunderstorm sky, their malleable anatomy intertwined, along with their bright yellow and blue electricity. They grin at each other with their sharp razor teeth, hold each other, their noses touching.

Bright yellow, pink and red illustration of two clown-like characters kissing. The first is a giant with floppy clothing ending in pompoms, propping up an also tall jester figure with sharper corset, crown and adventuring gear. She's standing on his upper thighs and hips, leaning into the smooch.

You just can't have fun with experiments when your patients have powers to defend with. 🙄🧪🩸

#bionicle #skakdi #comic #scifi #artfight
An atmospheric, in eerie blues and greens, illustration of a scene portraying too biomechanical monsters in a surgery lab, with a vial of green fluid smashed on a nearby wall. One figure is the doctor with a hole punched into his side, grunting in surprise, while the other is the patient sitting with various guts and gib hanging off their torso. They're holding up a singularity, presumable what caused the wound in the doctor, while saying "Treatment, doctor, not tests." The doctor replies with: "Gurgh. Duly...noted."

Where it's empty, it is also calm. 🌌

An Azrael, @tehriel.bsky.social's character, for #artfight2025. I thought their description of being a patient figure as a representation of depression (something I know too well) was really lovely.

A wardrobe swap between @cryptidwizard.bsky.social's BoneVoyage and my skeleton persona for #artfight! Noooo-one would tell the difference, surely!

#artfight2025 #artsky #darkart #skeleton #skull
Illustration of two skeletal figures dressed in classy clothes passing each other by in a walk, one saluting in a wave, the other gesturing in the air, both smirking as the second had spatters of blood on them. There are splashes of geometric colour behind them in an otherwise blue-ish monochromatic design.

A Dan for @thezombiedogz.bsky.social during #artfight2025. Feels like a crime I haven't drawn him once in all these years.
