A coloured illustration of quilbug's insect persona giving a tiny hug to their dragon friend Zodiax. Zodiax is a beautiful astral dragon with dark purple fur speckles in little star-like spots. A line of spikey fur runs down their back, with some white nearing the base of the neck. They have three ears lined in bronze and a curved horn on their forehead. Their eyes are shining orange and they have orange sensors dotted from the nose, under the eyes and to the middle ear. An antenna adorned with bronze rings and chains and ending in a tuft of orange floof lifts Quil up. Quil is a little insect person, mostly green with red and yellow bands on their back and abdomen. They have four arms, two twiggy legs and transparent wings. They are tiny compared to Zodiax, and gives their head a tiny hug.

And the last attack I did for artfight 2025 💪

🎨 #artfight2025

:D💚

An uncoloured comic page with 5 panels, depicting Ivan the piglin healer with big fluffy hair and Dereck the injured warrior piglin covered in bandages. In the first panel, Ivan snorts in laughter at something Dereck said, He quickly stifles his laughter in the second panel and says, "apologies". In the third panel Ivan turns to rifle through a chest beside Dereck's bed, to himself he whispers, "Shits and giggles, haha! Never heard that one before... delirium, probably." Dereck, who can hear him pipes up in a slurred, sarcastic voice, "YOU'RE delirium...". The fourth panel shows Ivan cutting into a golden apple while he tells Dereck, "Now that you're awake, let us try get some nutrients into you. In the final panel Dereck questions with surprise, "You have gapples!?" He groans in pain and continues in slurred speech, "this is my best resurrection yet, heh." Ivan stares at him with a clueless expression, apple piece in hand, "Resurrection?"

Yaaay I'm so glad you like it! The story of your characters is so compelling, I had to draw it :D

This ends soon! ✨

A coloured illustration of a battle between two anthro dragonflies, Orange and Stain. Stain, the yellow clubtail dragonfly, is thrown down to his back by Orange the globe skimmer. Orange's sword pierces through Stain's, shattering it, and aims to pierce through Stain's chest next. Orange has an expression of fierce determination, putting her entire body into the swing of her sword. Stain has an expression of shock, holding out his sword in a futile block and motioning with his other arms for Orange to stop.
