NightAuctor @ArtFight

If you’re here from the actual event…

Nyello 👋 I’m NightAuctor onsite, AKA a-flyleaf here on GitHub and over on deviantArt, and this is my first year doing ArtFight; might not attack often but here for a good time B) My main goal is to draw for people; no obligation to attack back!

…buuut if you do, I wanna see how you interpret the designs, and do NOT care about accuracy to the reference. Some are even vague/variable on purpose ;V

art usage & character permissions

Art Usage

TL;DR Do what you want with my attacks, just link back! I’d like to share yours here too, but will ask first.

  • Feel free to do whatever you want with my attacks for you, including edits and/or reuploads to compilation galleries like Toyhou.se! Just credit me as the original artist, preferably through deviantART.
  • Likewise, I reserve the right to post attacks on my own platforms (currently only dA and here, my website).
  • I’d also like to display art for me on this page, when the event’s done! If you haven’t indicated permissions on your profile, expect me to ask in a comment or message. I credit and link back to the original whenever possible, with a preference for public profiles; if you have multiple links, I’ll credit them all unless you indicate otherwise.
  • Alternatively, if you don’t want a piece reposted for any reason (no need to disclose why), please let me know! I’ll make sure I have explicit confirmation to rehost anything here before actually doing so, and link to actual onsite ArtFight pages so people can still see art that isn’t displayed here.

Character “Permissions”

topicheck yeahheck nah
multiple charactersdrawn with your own charactersdrawn with other peoples’ characters
design modificationsnot using the eyedropper (pls no whitewashing tho*), outfit changes, and basically any other vatiationpretty much* nothing, go nuts
body horror/goreanything besides →guts/innards (gory or not), nail trauma, anything realistically-rendered
nudity & sexual themeseh nah not with these guysbasically anything on the linked page
eyestrainbright colors, optical illusions, chromatic aberration, and animation thereof unless →rapid flashing and/or strobe effects
other filtersdrug use/references, themes of self-harm/suicide**, common phobiasopen self-harm injuries**, bodily waste

*I assume good faith here, dw if you’re not experienced with darker skintones or there’s funky colors/lighting; I just don’t want a tan character with dark hair colored as a #FFFFFF-skinned blonde, y’feel?

**ArtFight uses the following examples (artist credits not given): open self-harm wounds and suicidal imagery (specifically a noose, but nothing graphic). Would prefer not to see the former, but the latter is alright with me 👍

Also, as a general disclaimer, I don’t care how my characters are drawn. This is more a list of things, based on ArtFight’s rating system, that I don’t want shown directly to me. Like, if you wanna draw something in the “heck nah” box then go for it, I don’t judge; I just don’t want to receive it :V

Thanks for checking out my page, don’t forget to stretch your wrists, and have fun :D

If you’re reading this in any other context…

For those unaware, Art Fight is a month-long art trading competition, based around drawing other participants’ characters. I first heard about it years ago and have been dragging my heels on jumping in, for various reasons which I may or may not write a blog post about, but in 2021 I finally decided to take the plunge.

Predictably, though, I don’t care for the site’s formatting. And I’m vaguely aware it’s prone to downtime, especially in the first few days. So what the heck, figured I’d post everything on my own site, both for utility and long-term archival. Thus, here we are!

Characters

A technicolor lizardy-friemd that I’ve had since 2012, and his design has never ever ever been perfectly consistent but I have fun with it—and so have other people, with things like making his dot markings look like extra eyes (by the lovely starmoths!) and adding glowy effects. And now I invite y’all to do the same >;3

Images are in roughly chronological order (minus main image, which is from 2021) to show how his design’s shifted over the years. Doesn’t have much lore but I roleplayed him briefly, and here’s the gist:

  • created in some sort of laboratory for unknown reasons; wholly organic, with no supernatural powers
  • naturally curious, playful, and trusting; skittish in threatening situations
  • basically just wanders around exploring the world, sticking his snout where it doesn’t belong
  • would probably love to meet you(r character/s)!
  • no seriously he’s like horse-sized or bigger he will give rides to the little ones

Original design by GlitchedBat, but has changed significantly from its first version (which is no longer online); recycled with permission.

#cringetober duo

zero

two designs that kinda just Spawned in the 2020 cringetober challenge; listed separately onsite but related enough to be grouped on this page. feel free to take extensive artistic liberty—just have fun with ’em~

  • literally made up toolbelt kid’s palette from the waist down on the spot, so go ham on that
  • genuinely have no idea what demon-entity-thing is, but the ears are based on the bat-eared fox. different interpretations welcome; you may draw them as traffic cones if you wish

“sawface”

zero

A weird monster with an inconsistent number of eyes, limbs, and teeth. Very pointy, very long; go nuts :V.V:

Sometimes appears with a human “host.” What’s their deal? Your guess is good as mine!
