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 wanting to draw art for  Tones McGroans for some time now, and this was an excellent excuse! He has a very fun cast and we've been in the same corners of the furry internet for a bit now. I've been a big fan of his character Silvia for a variety of reasons. She has a cool vibe, she gets to wear a pretty varied wardrobe, she has a fun hairstyle, she's purple (what is it with me and loving purple characters? Huh...). She also leant herself very well to a chill Summer picture, so it felt quite seasonally appropriate at the time. Believe it or not, I spent way too long trying to get that chair to look just right. It amazes me how much harder furniture can be than characters, sometimes.

Pay no mind to Rick back there, by the way. I'm pretty sure he'll be fine.

Tony himself did an excellent response pic with my character Valerie, so please go check him out if you aren't already!
