Rabbit rabbit, Happy August! Here's all the Art Fight drawings I drew in July. :D As per usual my goal was to whatever characters looked interesting, with no particular theme or care any for team in mind. I like to use Art Fight as an excuse to draw characters I normally wouldn't. My comfort zone is furries so while I did pick an draw a few of those, I also drew feral bodied characters and what Art Fight calls "Simple Shaped Characters". Which I feel like is sort of a misnomer, because I find characters that don't rely on anatomy I can reference outside of what their creators have drawn to be a pretty big challenge! I wanted to take the time to hit a few of my faves, which I made sure to do, and mutuals too. Beyond that I spent most of June looking up key words that interest me on Art Fight's Tag Search [ "neopets", "90s", "rainbow", "thylacine", "stars", "worm on a string", among many others] and bookmarking anyone that looked interesting. I then saved all the refs of people I wanted to draw with the character ID in the file name. One step I didn't do this year that I will for sure have to do next year is to then double check those IDs once the event actually stars. Lots of people hide their characters last minute, right before the event starts! Or say they will participate and then don't. Which is okay, it just means I need to be better about checking next time. This meant I drew two attacks that couldn't be submitted to the site [And a third that when I messaged the person saying, "oops I drew a hidden character of yours where would you like me to send you the drawing?" they un-hid the character for me. So kind!] but I've included them here anyway. I think 18 [plus one sketch I didn't get done in time] is a pretty admirable number of attacks considering we also had a two hour move this month, and some events to attend!

Just like last year I learned a lot! Last year the chief lesson I walked away from Art Fight was speed. I am not, and have never been, a quick artist, but in 2021 I was a "It takes me several days to finish a sketch" artist. I used to be very persnickety about that step of the drawing process and it soaked up a lot of time. Through wanting to be as efficient as possible with only a month to participate I learned to use my sketch a way to just get the idea for the drawing down to be refined as I go, instead of getting a "perfect" sketch down. Made me a much more efficient artist! This year I really had the "finished is better than perfect" mantra I've been trying to use drilled into my head, as I attempted to tackle anatomy and poses that where very unfamiliar to me. Particularly simplifying anatomy into something more cartoony makes figuring out what markings go where a challenge. But it doesn't matter! I'm not getting graded, and this is for fun. Should this spot be over here or should it be a smidge to the left? Slap it in between the two points and move on. Finish your art!

Thoughts on nihil being a tiny pathetic little catboy and distracting her while she does work until she lets him sit on her lap and cuddles him

Nihil as a catboy is like that post that I'm going to poorly paraphrase regarding how everyone wants a catboyfriend/girlfriend until it's like 3AM and they have the zoomies. It's like, this sounds great on paper, I'll just set a cat bed next to my work desk and he can just sleep and hang out, but in practice my husband is a tiny menace who keeps putting more of his body on my arm while I trying to write and has kneaded little claw marks into all the notes I'm taking for his sermons.

I think he tries to be mostly person-shaped most days and just sits on the floor next to Sister's chair, leaning on her leg. She can tolerate that without much effort. She likes it, usually, having the weight against her and and his chin resting on her thigh so she doesn't have to go out of her way to reach over and scritch him behind the ears. Sometimes she'll have a pausing point to devote more direct attention to scritches, play with his hair, hold his face in her hands and kiss him on the nose if he's being particularly good. Sometimes he gets overwhelmed by this and sometimes she has to stop working for longer than previously planned. :}

Other days are harder and he is just A Cat. Sister is understanding and tries to be patient, but it's VERY HARD when he's rolling over and spreading out over a stack of contracts she needs to focus on. When he's slapping at the tip of her pen. When he's timed jumping into her lap to curl up down to the exact second before she was ready to get up to go do something else. Not to mention, maybe controversial opinion, but I actually imagine him being a pretty big, light-coloured flonffy cat. And Sister likes to wear dark colours and nice fabrics. So, you know, it's just like...it can be a lot.

But then he'll sit on the edge of her desk and stretch up on his hind legs to not so much nuzzle her face as slam his whole snoot against her cheek and he's purring so hard it's making his breathing sound funny and a moment later, he's a person again (still purring) and kissing all over her face (which she does to him, also, in both shapes) and no matter how much he wriggles around and knocks things off her desk with his tail (by accident, never on purpose if he can help it), she's smiling and it's definitely not the worst part of her day.

My secondary note on the subject is that, actually, while I can pretty easily imagine all of the boys as full animals, I more imagine Nihil as little caprine demon/cryptid when I think of him being critterly. But I would be completely lying if I said that catboy/cat Nihil was not something deeply and intensely personal and important to me for very real reasons.

Quote

And I want to think further of the theological and spiritual practices that we might create. The philosopher Donna J. Haraway asks us how we might construct or fabulate those kinds of stories and myths that help us “make kin” with other creatures in this time of ecological devastation. Haraway ends her book, Staying with the Trouble (Duke University Press, 2016), with a fictional story of the “Children of Compost,” who begin practices of storytelling as “Keepers of the Dead.” People identify with a species, learn about that species, and tell that those specied stories to pass down knowledge, awareness, connection, and empathy from generation to generation. The generations of those keepers, in Haraway’s words, tell stories of interconnection, beauty, loss, and embody the empathic attention to their chosen critterly kin.
