'Tis the season of Artfight, and I'm finally posting some of my attacks!

this one is for Empyrealan's OC Karas! Their art is super dope but they also KILLED me with attacks last year so I've been avenging myself. my goal this year was to retain a battle ratio of like 50-40%, but that has been going.. bad. SO bad.

Suffering from success is never a bad thing! I'm SO grateful to all of my attackers, don't get me wrong! I'm just hoping I can catch up when things slow down around the website!

one of my Votanwing Guest artist adopts! You can bid on this guy here!

Who is your favorite and least favorite character from each tribe?

Great question! This became a full post because I talked too long, but I have some doodles as a way of making up for that. Full disclosure:

LEAST FAVORITE ≠ I HATE THEM AND WANT THEM TO DIE 

If I actually HATE any of these characters, I've probably made a note of saying so. I tried to do them all justice through my art, even if they are my least favorite! With that out of the way...

Skywings: 

Favorite: Peril. Sorry, but there is no competition… although Queen Scarlet is a close second. 

Least favorite: Carnelian. I know this will probably ruffle a few feathers because there are a lot of Carnelian lovers out there, but she just never really resonated with me. Sad story though. 

Sandwings:

Favorite: Six-Claws, although you guys probably already knew that from my comic.

Least Favorite: BLAZE, but only because I have one-sided beef with the fandom. Once upon a time, I posted three drawings of the sandwing sisters to that one ‘They! Want! You!’ Navy musical(?) audio that was trending on tiktok. That fateful day, I discovered there are a lot of people who GENUINELY think Blaze is 100% responsibility free and not a benefactor of the war. Ooooookay! I can’t start on this topic because I’ll literally never stop. 

Seawings: 

Favorite: Turtle! In my humble opinion, he is one of the more charming jade winglet characters and definitely an underrated/misunderstood character. Writing interactions for him is always very easy and enriching. 

Least favorite: …Whirpool. I really tried to think of something more original, but I couldn’t. I like all the other seawings we've met so far - even the evil ones!

Mudwings:

Favorite: Clay, who I could talk about for hours! I truly think no other DoD member could’ve had as strong of an opening book as Clay. 

Least favorite: Umber, and yes… this is because of book 16 unfortunately. He really did not grow on me at all, and I was displeased with how little he reacted to Mullberry’s lies. Like… seriously? I expected you to forgive him, but you’re not even MAD? I get that the book needed to progress somehow, but that moment really ruined him for me. He's not the worst, though.

Icewings:

Favorite: Tough choice, but it’s Queen Snowfall. When I first heard she was getting a book, I was honestly not excited at all. I thought it would be a weird out-of-place side quest in the overall Pantala plot, but I was proven wrong! 

Least favorite: Again, struggling to think of anything… I will go with… Winter’s parents, I guess? 

Nightwings: 

Favorite: Clearsight OBVIOUSLY… I love her a lot, and she is also the most fun to draw!

Least favorite: Darkstalker. I have the same relationship with Darkstalker as I do with Bojack Horseman… The Darkstalker book was awesome! Darkstalker is well-written! I fucking hate this guy.

Rainwings:

Favorite: Kinkajou, 10/10, no notes, no flaws, no nothing 

Least favorite: I like all of them, so… Pineapple? He was cute, but a little bit of a nothingburger. We probably could have accomplished the same scenes by sending Jambu to pantala instead.

Silkwings:

Favorite: Swordtail, although I do wish they played up his experience with hivewings more than his chronic stupidity. 

Least favorite: Queen Monarch, PURELY because of book 16. When I first read her story in the arc 3 books, it was very compelling and understandable, and I could talk about the implications for hours! Good lesson, so…. Why is she showing up again? I don’t know. I really do not understand what her presence is offering to the story, especially since she is kind of a completed character already. It’s also just kind of hard to read because… damn girl. You fumbled not one but TWO positions of power. You’re really not living up to the name. 

Hivewings:

Favorite: Lady Scarab 100%. She is the angry old woman we all need in our lives. 

Least favorite: Glowworm, from book 16. Similar to Monarch, I kind of just don’t understand why we needed him?

Leafwings:

Favorite: Honestly a tie between Sundew and Willow – I appreciate how they both manage to (mostly) get away from the dry-romance curse in WoF, and that their relationship is actually influenced by the events of the book instead of just being ‘we love each other NO MATTER WHAT!’ (Umberry. Who said that? What?) 

Least favorite: Hawthorn, but it’s not his fault… he just happened to be the segway into a very strange end to Arc 3. The whole Planty/Cottonmouth/Freedom thing was cool, but SO unrelated to dismantling the oppressive hive regime that one could argue it is spiritually Arcane Season 2. All I'm saying is this could've been a winglet.

they’re not, but I can start posting them to tumblr as well! I toootally understand not wanting TikTok, it definitely fucks with my attention span

It does, but he isn't on my artfight. His name is Ficus, and when I initially made him I thought it would be funny to make him as annoying as possible. So much so that he actually started to annoy ME.

That would've been fine, but people actually attacked him a lot, and I ended up with this pile of fanart for the character I made to ragebait myself. Of course, that ragebaited me even MORE than his existence, so I locked him away.
