#digitalart #artfight #artfight2026
A digital drawing depicting an anthropomorphic character based on the Slither Wing Pokemon named Nuke in multiple different poses along with a laptop. His fur is white and fluffy; he has long ears, pinkish red horns on the sides of his head and his face and claws are blue. He has long pink eyelashes, yellow whites and blue star-shaped pupils, as well as some small freckles on his face. He has three pairs of red wings with yellow markings and a blueish green tail with spikes on it. In the first drawing, he is typing on the laptop. In the second one, he is laying down with the laptop, swinging his feet and saying "Computer, show me yaoi" while nervously smiling. In the third one it depicts the laptop with a cartoony smile, saying back: "Hi, I'm the computer. You're not getting that". On the last drawing it's a headshot of Nuke looking very sad with a broken heart near him. The background is yellow and has many colorful stars surrounding the main drawings.

A digital drawing of two humanoid characters—Wolfe and Cavity—embracing lovingly. Wolfe is on the left: he is of a larger build, has a light skin color with a warm undertone, medium-length dark brown hair and he is wearing a black cropped leather jacket with a darker black top underneath. He has thick eyebrows, brown eyeshadow and dark facial hair - he also has body hair on his arms, hands and stomach.

Cavity has a light skin color with a cool undertone, long brown hair with pink highlights put up in big ponytails, a long horn coming out of her forehead and fluffy round ears, the insides of which are pink. She is wearing a lab coat with big puffy sleeves and black long latex gloves, as well as a latex belt under her chest. She has thin eyebrows, a nasal hump, long eyelashes and pink lipstick, as well as pink and green makeup on her eyes. She is smiling with closed eyes, putting one of her hands into Wolfe's hair.

A digital drawing of an anthropomorphic lynx character, Vamp. It is standing with one of its arms fully behind it and the other resting against its hip, paw held in a fist. Its fur is mostly black and white, with red markings that look like tear stains underneath its eyes, as well as a heart marking on its forehead. It also has top surgery scars of the same red color on its chest. Its ears are pointed to the side, and it is smiling and winking: its open eye is brown with yellow whites. It is very fluffy. It is wearing a half transparent loose black shirt and black leathery shorts. The background is abstract with various watercolor-like blobs of blue and teal colors, reminiscent of the MLM flag, and there are also some white stars around the character.
