Whenever Art Fight comes around, we get to see artists draw and connect with WAG characters we don't spotlight enough during the year. It means a lot to see that people do genuinely vibe with our characters! ❤️ I really want us to be able to make more stuff with them beyond the games they star in. 🥺

I'm very pleased with all the attacks I got this year! Here are a few highlights! 🎨 Thanks a ton to Epsilon04, @thompispomfis.bsky.social, @potatoesatmidnight.bsky.social and @voidbreak4.bsky.social! I couldn't revenge everyone, but I appreciate every attack. ❤️ #artfight #artfight2026 #teamcomedy

A digital drawing by Epsilon04. It features our Townseek character, Capt. Jawline. He's an anthropomorphic shark with steampunk clothes and goggles, doing a sassy pose.

Unfortunately, this is widespread. When I graduated, learning this was a common practice at the few companies with hiring power here was one reason I chose the indie route. If you're in a position to do so, push back against these! We're a creative medium, and our personal work should remain ours.

NEW: I spoke with multiple video game developers and a U.S. employment lawyer to learn more about restrictive side clauses that often prevent employees at major companies from pursuing hobbyist work or personal projects. In an industry renowned for creativity, why are we stifling it?
