[Image ID: A digital drawing of a simple character made of a purple circle head and cloak. The cloak is purple to orange gradient with white vertical lines and a black silhouette of a water tower, sign, and some mountains. Beneath the cloak are another circle and an unconnected, upside down pyramid. It has two peaceful closed eyes and an open third one with a moon pupil. On the head are two antenna. A tie is beneath the cloak, with a moon pin above them. There is thin smoke curling around them. The background is a purple hilly dessert landscape in a much more painterly style, with telephone poles and a bright crescent moon. In the first image, the character floats up and down, the smoke moving with them, but much faster. The second is still and has more detailed backlit shading. The signature @goldiedraws is in the background. /end ID.]

My first Art Fight attack! This character is Night Vale Radio by @yourlocalsaltyfish . I love the idea of humanizing the NVCR (this might inspire me to do it myself after Art Fight's over) and the shapes in this are so well done. I never know how to complement such simple designs, but as a graphic designer and someone who drew in a cartoon style for a long while, trust me when I say this is gorgeous. I mean, I haven't animated since a shitty sketch in October 2024 and this inspired me to so that's pretty high praise.

Character and background on their own, as well as speedpaint, under the cut!

You know your girl had to do it.

If my math is correct, which it’s probably not, today is the 13th anniversary of one of my favorite medias ever! ✨Welcome to Nightvale ✨

So I couldn’t let the day pass without doing a little something! It’s not done yet cause I’ve only worked on it between spending time with my dad today, but anyway 😃

And a quick look at my sketches for it too
