An Art Fight profile image for Team Fossils, featuring Quetzal Pali and his characters Lyfa, Bingo, Anshee, Aster, and Calathea.

artfight.net/~QuetzalPali Hopeful about participating a lot this #Artfight2025 for #TeamFossils!

The Yuan-Ti Paladin Nahl comments on the unexpected revelation (apparent to her) that Lunula (not pictured) is an introvert. Sketches with 'floating dialogue'.

Caught off guard at first, Lunula then explains she meant to describe herself as an *Invertebrate*, not an "introvert", as the punchline. Sketches with 'floating dialogue'.

ft. @tigriivy.bsky.social's Nahl, a Yuan-Ti Paladin he pulled from an "OC randomizer" event when buying dice. #dndcharacter #OCs #digitalart #dnd

Profile art and design sketches for a DnD character that's a Triton that has traits of a Blue-Ringed Octopus. The tentacles ate arranged in two groups of 4, one as a short cape and the other as a half-skirt.

So... this counts as #Mermay participation, right? Lol. Anywyay, here's a concept for my new Triton Warlock of the Old Ones, Lunula~ Quite obviously inspired by the Blue-Ringed Octopus. Tritons don't *have* to be fish, right?

The profile image of a mermaid-like Pokémon by the name of Mobysseit including its Shiny form. Most notably it has a big angler-fish style orb on a stem from its forehead and its tail is twisted in an infinity "∞" symbol.

Happy start of #Mermay2025! I'm not sure how much Ill be able to participate, but I can at the very least make a little #Fakemon for now!
Its intended as possibly a Pseudo-Legendary or Mythical, I'll let y'all decide what you see it more as haha.

Anshee, the feral Tiefling, shows her big purple wings and tail whilst wearing stylish chainmail and cloth armor. She's scolding her spear and her shield too.

Anshee (unarmored) does a big, wing-anatomy-showing stretch in this sketch.

A traditional media (pencil and ink) sketch of Anshee as a child.

Haven't posted in a while, I think it's been a pretty massive burn-out streak that hasn't been good to my productivity.

I did make these of my 'feral Tiefling' "Anshee" UvU she is both a player character and a tragic backstory element for a campaign set further in the future~ #dnd #digitalart #oc

This* whoops lol

Rhis was animated by my good friend @yuramec.bsky.social !

Collab with my friend of her character from #WildBeyondtheWitchlight and the NPC I heavily modified hehe.
Nos quedó bien bonitoo

Titus and Zalekiel. Best Chaotic friends 😈

A young, red-headed woman in streetwear holds a Luxury pokéball beside the lemur-aye aye inspired Pokémon "Grafaiai" that's licking one of its fingers. The titles "Champion Bingo" and "Scheele" appear over the woman and the pkmn respectively. Of note: Bingo's hair is very long and basically backdrops for her dark-colored clothes with golden accents.

A young red-headed woman looks at the viewer while her body faces left, we only see her down to just past her shoulder. Behind here there's golden spray-painted lettering for "Bingo LaChance" and a record label tag for "Parental Advisory: Explicit Content". She is wearing a baseball cap with a crown-like ornament with a 'mega stone' inlayed at the center. She also seems to be gingerly grabbing at her neck and hair and has golden glitter over her brow area and shoulder.

I've been drawing A LOT for my #Poke5e campaign, So now I'm at least showing you all my pride and joy "Bingo LaChance", Champion of the Novaselenne #Pokemon League! (with her partner pkmn Scheele the #Grafaiai). There's other career opportunities from the spotlight too~

I've been dabbling in #mini-painting lately, and since I don't see TPC making almost any #Grafaiai merch, I printed and painted my own figurine haha.

She's not perfect, but she's mine and I'm happy~

Three sketches of Harengon (Rabbit-people) ladies. (Left to right) one intense and serious, with long hair and holding a dagger. Another with curly hair and a curvy body looks joyfully at the viewer. And the last one with a smug expression, lop-ears and an up-do.

Colored sketch of "Bryleigh", a chestnut-haired, muscular Goblin lady with bloody-bandadged hands and craftswoman attire looks at the viewer with her one good eye.

Colored sketch of an androgynous character with short white hair looks to the right of the screen amused by something.

Two skletches of an elf with curly hair and a leaf-motiff armor. The first is a wide shot of him sitting on a giant mushroom playing a pan-flute while the other is a medium shot of him looking boredly at the viewer.

One of the best things about being an artist and a DM is that I get to have fun spamming character designs and my players have some visual reference for what I'm describing.

Sometimes I feel a little intimidated by other artists at the table, but still!

Oh! Yeah, it's an Australian folk tale where the Numbat painted the spots on the goana lizard and it in turn painted the Numbat's stripes, but the Numbat didn't like it and used red dirt to further modify it's coat~
So yeah you ended up matching the vibe haha!

Yeah! In my case it's because I surmised the orevo was a Numbat so I looked up folk tales and found one that inspired that cosmetics side of the idea haha.

A Pokedex page for the Fakemon "Liatail" shows a menacing-looking shark-like creature with a broad tail that mimics a much larger predator. to its left is a golden and silver shiny coloring for it. It's listed as the "deceitful fish Pokémon" and is a Water and Dark type with a stat spread focused heavily on Attack and Speed while leaving it quite frail. Its abilities are Armor Tail and a new, fake ability: False Face, which heightens the Liatails evasiveness 30% until it is hit for the first time in a battle. Its hidden ability is Intimidate. It's Pokedex entry reads: "It shakes its tail to make other Pokémon believe it's a separate, imposing threat. Then, it strikes by turning its real head around swiftly. Once Liatail's ruse is discovered, it looks for an opportunity to dart away."

A Pokedex page for the Fakemon "Walpritee" shows a fluffy mammalian creature that is applying a pink pigment to its cheeks. Beside it is a pastel-colored Shiny palette for it. It's listed as "The Beautician Pokémon" and is a Normal and Fairy type. It has a fairly even stat distribution except for an extremely low attack stat. Its abilities are Pastel Veil and Dazzling, while it has a new, fake hidden ability called "Skin Care". This hidden ability gives the Pokémon a 50% chance of clearing the Burned condition from itself or an ally on the field with it and also negates the damage buff Fire type moves receive in sunny weather. Its Pokedex entry reads: "In ancient folktales, it's said the very first Walpritee painted the distinctive patterns and markings of all other Pokémon. It uses clay, dirt, and flowers expertly to produce all manner of pigments and ointments."

Here are the #Fakemon I made for @truegreen7.bsky.social's contest making evolutions for a couple of his fakemon!
I'm honored to say Liatail made it to 2nd place, while Walpritee sadly couldn't make it to top 50. I think I need to push the fantastical elements more.

I'm not one to post much reaction stuff but Okami sequel announced at The Game Awards is sending me to heaven.

A cartoon Mothra, the giant moth goddess kaiju, opens her wings showing off her patterns and the title "Quetzal Pali's Mothra 2021" She has tiger-like patterns on her wings, two front legs overdeveloped as arms, a wasp-like abdomen and long antennae.

A cartoon Godzilla, the famous giant dinosaur kaiju, looks to the side while his long tail meanders behind him. His dorsal spikes seem to point to the title "Quetzal Pali's Godzilla 2021" His palette is mostly shades of blueish-gray, with her spikes and brow darker. His eyes are a bright yellow.

A cartoon Ghidorah, the three-headed dragon kaiju, opens his wings in front of golden lightning and floating debris behind the title "Quetzal Pali's Ghidorah 2021" Each head has a set of two backwards-pointing horns and a moon-shaped two-horn crest. Each also has a darker copper-colored mane. The right head also has scars on its snout.

A cartoon Rodan, the giant pterosaur-eagle kaiju, soars beside the viewer in front of a bright sunset with the title "Quetzal Pali's Rodan 2021". He has a brown and terracotta coloring for most of his body, with a bone-colored belly and fiery eyes. The inside of his mouth glows like red-hot metal.

I'd only ever uploaded my 2021 #Rodan here, so I think it's high time I start uploading more of my 'cartoon kaiju' that I had up on the bird site~

A Pokedex screen shows "Vangalago", a Fakemon that looks like an upright Lemur wearing a hoodie and lifting up one long-fingered hand. It has a snobbish attitude to it and four of its fingers are dripping with black, magenta, cyan, and yellow pigments respectively. It's said to be the "Toxic Lemur Pokémon", a Normal and Poison Type that evolves from Grafaiai. It has a 540 base stat total distributed mostly to its Attack and Speed stats, has the abilities Unburden and Poison touch as well as Prankster as its hidden ability. It's PokéDex entry reads: "Through arduous practice, Vangalago learned to produce an entire spectrum of pigments and honed its artistry. It's rather prideful of its achievements."

Decided to be very self-indulgent on my birthday and make a fake evolution for #Grafaiai just because it's my absolute favorite Paldean #Pokemon haha!

Billy the Mind Witness in a default pose alongside a series of sketches of it being sad, excited and with a bit of dialogue in Spanish that translates to "Rurik, I frew up"

Today is Billy the Mind Witness appreciation day, I've decided.

Quetzalpali, a feathered dragon persona, reaches towards a blue butterfly on his snout beside a screen capture of reaching 100 followers here on Bluesky and a glowing handwritten "Thank you!"

Maybe it's a bit "Tumblr-era" of me, but I wanted to draw a little quick something to thank y'all for being here!

If you see this post a 🌟 wizard ✨️

Just gorgeous, my favorite illustration in the entire PHB

That typo gnaws at my soul but my point stands.

Imagine walink up to a puppeteer after a show screaming "I bet you're not really a Muppet and just ugly, kys!" like this is deranged behavior on every level and it's so disheartening that it's so widespread.
Just being respectful and decent on the internet is now some punk, fringe mindset istg...

Family includes everyone! ❤️
