So, in July of 2025, I participated in a challenge/group activity known as Art Fight! For those unaware, Art Fight is a really cool website that has a yearly challenge where folks are randomly assigned to two teams and you score points by drawing art of somebody's characters from the opposing team. They call this 'attacking', and if you respond to somebody who drew art for you by drawing art for *them*, that's called 'blocking'. So, with all of this fun fighting game adjacent terminology, how could I not try this? It also acted as a good incentive to draw art for some friends and artists that I follow.

I've been meaning to draw something for  SodiePawp for ages. He's a sweet fellow and has some adorable characters, and I feel like many of them would get along well with my cast. Dakota and Jael seemed like an especially natural pair. Not only is Jael friends with bunnies (a jackalope is close!), but Dakota also seemed like one of the quieter characters in Sodie's cast and I thought that my shy golden dragon would gel well with that. Plus, it just made for a cute pose!
