aaaaand that's a wrap for Art Fight this year! Hope that everyone got to enjoy AF this year no matter the team, and it's alright if you had to stop/be slow in the duration because of real life stuff or burnout or something!&/gen

Let's see what I've accomplished...
◆ 13 attacks! woah!
◆ an improvement in my art style and rendering, i suppose?
◆ some experimentation with shadow coloring styles (multiply or manual color-picking?) and background styles (outlines? scenes? patterns?)
◆ some updates in my art process, trying to become a bit more efficient such as when it comes to shading
◆ got to draw at least one character with either horns (3) or diamond shapes (1 or 2)! :D
◆ my own personal Art Fight tracker on Notion! (i want to keep track of my ratios over the years laol, and i really like making databases of stuff so... xP)

some of the new stuff i've tried:
◆ "highlighted" eyelashes? it was actually inspired by Natalia Torres' tribute artwork for Shelly Duvall (warning: potential eyestrain from bright and swirling colors on background) who put some white lines on Duvall's eyelashes. i first done it for an attack featuring a black OC in order to provide a contrast to her eyes, and then later on done to some of my later attacks as a sort of, erm, "highlight".
◆ drawing wings! man, this pose i decided on was difficult but hey, i love the result! (le attack (warning: potential eyestrain from the whites + body horror/trypophobia warning for a cluster of 8 eyes))
◆ drawing an anthro character! technically not new to this but this is really fun! (le attack (warning: eyestrain from the character's hot pinks))
  (this made me wanna make my own animalsona or fursona too hmmm)

umm, some other stats i guess? because i want to xP
◆ Final battle ratio: 72.22%
◆ Revenges done: 3
◆ Friendly fire: 7
◆ Defenses received: 5
◆ Most sizes done: Half body (10 in total)
◆ Full bodies done^: 3
◆ Longest duration*: 11 hr 13 min (mostly difficulties with drawing the pose and determining what kind of background i wanted to do)
◆ Shortest duration*: 1 hr 33 min (because it was a rushed bust shot before AF ended lol)
◆ Longest time in-between attack submissions: ~6 days (because i had to do Bren birthday art eheheh /silly)
◆ Shortest time in-between attacks: 1 hr 25 min (the next one was that shortest duration attack haha — and yes, i had the initial sketch of that one adjusted before i finished the previous one, hence the seemingly "impossible" time)

^ according to Art Fight ratings, anyway. technically, i only made 2
* recorded time in Procreate

some stuff i was unable to do :((
◆ 1 revenge (i would've had time for this if not because of being forced to take one day off because of sudden uni concerns /m)
◆ an attack for another friend (though they weren't able to upload the character i was supposed to attack for the rest of Art Fight (probs because busy), so i'm not really mad at that but i would've done another of their characters instead had i had more time)
◆ some idea for a multi-target attack (for two) that i had in mind near the start of Art Fight that i never got to draw lol

wasn't attacked as much (still sad about it to be honest, even to the point of slight jealousy on my mutuals/friends who joined this year /nm), but regardless, i had fun! was a great opportunity to draw a lot within a single month alone and improve my art somehow! i'm really proud of myself :'>

oh, and if you've reached to the end of this journal post, i'll let you in a secret: i'm planning to make a MASSIVE mass attack next year!! my first ever mass attack! and it's gonna be themed! (wait for 2025 before i reveal that lol)
i'm planning to send the hitlist for that as soon as next year's target hunting channel opens! >:D
