I've attached some images of recent artworks, but I can't promise the final outcome of the trades will match these exactly because I'd like to experiment with some different rendering styles. I'd love art where you try something new in your half as well!

I will accept 1-3 trades and am only interested in drawing humans. The second image is my OC and who I will ask you to draw in exchange. (the others are not my characters as they are artfight attacks)

My half will be a little slow, probably taking up to a month as I have a commision and map part I need to prioritize first.

As I continue to work on the au designs, I may make some lore adjustments. I also may come back and tweak some of Rainbow's colors. It was tricky to keep them bright while still matching the slightly more grounded lore of my au. Lmk how you think her design turned out! You can see Twilight's design here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/s/U2UmMyNrHr

Alt text for those who struggle to read my handwriting:

Rainbow Dash (she/her, 20yrs, weather gig worker, seraph)

Dash will proudly tell you the story of every one of her scars. Somehow the stories always get more wild every time.

Seraphs cannot learn or cast spells. Their inscriptions only glow when they are embodying their destiny.

Seraphs are few and far between. Their original homeland has been lost to time. Some believe they are the descendants of the dragons of old. Others claim Celestia brought the seraphs into existence to be her servants in the sky.

I was recently reminded of an old mlp AU my brother and I thought of few years ago and wanted to design a Twilight to fit the modified lore. I don't have a ton planned for the AU at this time, but I liked this design and wanted to share it somewhere.

Alt text for those who struggle to read my handwriting:

Twilight Sparkle (she/her, 25yrs, librarian, human spellcaster)

She must have attended an advanced school of magic in order to know as many spells as she does, but she never wants to talk about her life before working at the library.

Spellcasters tattoo spells they learn on their skin. Advanced users must create new unique ways of combining spells or risk running out of space for new material.

Her marks glow when casting spells.

In early childhood, all citizens undergo their "Inscription Ceremony" where prophetic specialists create a symbol that will represent their future. While not a spell itself, the inscription does hold magical energy which powers future spells.

I'm in the mood to do a couple more needle felted desk buddy attacks like these two, but it is ridiculously difficult to find people who explicitly say they want physical crafts in their permissions. So if you are interested in a little chibi figure, feel free to post your profile in the comments.

I only want to make this if I can ship it to you. So if you are unable to have something shipped to you from an online stranger, I would skip this post. (I have a digital art hitlist you can find on my af profile if you want to fill that out instead). If you live outside the US you will probably have to pay for shipping. please acknowledge that you are able to have the attack shipped to you if your permissions do not explicitly state it!

any characters will do, but humanoids with lore are my go to. also preferably something simple enough already that I won't have to super simplify the design to turn it into a little felt guy.

also here's my profile if you want to check it out: https://artfight.net/~alchemybats

(I'll check out this thread and pick a couple to make tomorrow, so you can drop characters until then!)

I recently started teaching myself how to do needle felting and wanted to do at least one felt attack this year for practice! Thought now was a good time since I was feeling a bit burnt out after my last animated attack. I'm very pleased with how it turned out! I'm very much still a novice at this, but I only had to redo the face once this time unlike my two other projects which needed several remakes so I think I'm improving lol

Scale wise, he's about 2 inches tall. This took me about 6 hours to do.

Character is Einar by https://artfight.net/~Art-ificer

I thought Moira from https://artfight.net/~Liauditore would be a fun challenge to try to animate with her big witch hat! This animation is 22 unique frames and it really pushed my one-day-max-per-attack limit (I gave myself a couple extra hours to add a bit of extra polish whoops).

I'm posting in this subreddit before uploading the attack so I can link it in the attack's description as the high-quality video.

my af is: https://artfight.net/~alchemybats (but don't attack me just because you expect a revenge of this quality. I don't expect to do many more animations. I'm pretty exhausted now lol)

this is my hitlist: https://forms.gle/kasaTK2nTz4YHoQD6

i love all sorts of characters, but am especially still looking for mad scientists, pretty boys, old men, and any evil and unhinged characters. i love love love oc lore and will read all of it! i love drawing characters with lore in mind.

I'm mostly going to be drawing chibis, but also recently started drawing headshot portraits and like drawing them a lot too. I'll also draw some full illustrations and animations if motivation hits.

I've included some art as reference of my style(s). 3, 4, and 8 are not my characters but the rest are (assuming reddit didn't mess up my order)

also here's my profile: https://artfight.net/\~alchemybats

Characters belong to u/Miquella4, u/actual-poison, u/ClassicSilkyr, u/KawaiiiGhoul (top left), u/26__cheng (top middle), u/Gmanwr (top right), u/kittyangel333 (bottom left), and u/Doodler_17 (bottom right)

I have 17 posted, but over 20 if you include doubled up refs. Fighting the urge to add more lol. I was trying to keep my number of characters manageable for my first year but I really like drawing reference sheets I've discovered.

​

This is a few of the new refs and a couple older ref images i don't think I've posted here yet. Some written bios are still a wip to be finished by July, but most of them have lots of lore already if that's your thing.

​

This is my profile (heads up some of these characters are filtered for sensitive topics in their written bios): https://artfight.net/\~alchemybats

​

Also here's my hitlist if you are interested! I won't draw everyone, but I've bookmarked a couple of characters from it already and will use it to help decide what to draw when I revenge. I love lore! Yap at me! https://forms.gle/kasaTK2nTz4YHoQD6

I'd like to prep for artfight by seeing how long it takes me to draw characters that aren't mine in my illustration style, so I'm opening trades. I'm looking to do headshots or bust up and would like something equivalent in exchange. I only have 1-2 slots and they may take up to two weeks to finish so be aware of that timeline if you are interested!

The first two pictures are examples of the artstyle i am currently practicing. I'd like to receive art of one of the characters on the last two pages in return (Penn or Sy).

At this time, i am only interested in drawing humans or humanoids with basically-human faces (elves, tieflings, kemonomimis, etc).

If you are interested, leave a comment and please include (1) an example of the artstyle you'll use for the trade, (2) the ref to the character you'd want me to draw (or link to a list if there's multiple to choose from), and (3) which of my characters you'd like to draw. Including your character ref(s) is important and will help me decide who to trade with!

Check out the hitlist here (and let me know if there's any problems with it and I'll fix it asap): https://forms.gle/kasaTK2nTz4YHoQD6

My profile too: https://artfight.net/~alchemybats

I wasn't going to make a hitlist for my first year, but I would hate to miss out on a character I'd love to draw just because I didn't stumble upon it while browsing, so I made one afterall!

I will be mostly drawing chibis, but may also draw some more complex illustrations for characters that really strike my fancy.

At this time, I will probably only draw human/oids and some anthros.

I'm looking to practice my chibi artstyle more over the weekend and I am looking for more cute art of my characters to turn into pins and so I am opening trades!

I am mainly looking to do chibi for chibi, but feel free to pitch another style for your half if you want!

I've included a picture of some of my recent chibi art for reference. Only Levi (purple pretty boy) and AU Volo (middle blonde) are my own designs.

Include artstyle references in your comment. Feel free to tell me who you want me to draw too. I am mostly interested in drawing humans, but might do some anthros. Heads up that most of my characters are human.

Edit - This is closed for now!

Howdy! I'm an artfight newbie so I'll happily take feedback on the legibility of my profile and refs. I'm still going to write some more lore tidbits in the descriptions of various characters, but all my planned characters at least have full visual reference sheets uploaded.

Also, I'm still looking for a few more characters to bookmark. I'm not organized enough to make a hitlist form, but I check the characters of anyone who interacts with me lol https://artfight.net/~alchemybats
