Art Fight Start DateAs always, Art Fight 2021 will be starting on July 1st at 12:00 pm US Mountain time. Make sure you prepare yourself by updating your characters and bookmarking some characters early! Like last year, there will be an option to choose your team before the fight, after the theme reveal. |
Discord Sponsored Event + Theme RevealWe are partnering up with Discord to provide you guys with an exciting event on our Discord Server, utilizing Discord’s new stage channel. For those unfamiliar, a stage channel is kinda like zoom without the video and screen sharing. There are speakers and users can raise their hand to speak.We are hosting an Interview + Ask Me Anything (AMA) event on June 24th at 5:00 pm Mountain time. We will be interviewing various staff of different roles about their time and experience with Art Fight. Those who are interested in the inner workings of Art Fight should join as there will be some opportunities to ask them questions yourself! There will be plenty of Art Fight premium giveaways too, wink wink. At 6:00 pm Mountain Time, we will switch over from the event to our Twitch stream to watch the 2021 Art Fight Theme Reveal on our Twitch! The theme reveal is an annual animation made by our lovely artist Axel that reveals each years theme. Mark your calendars! After the reveal, we will release a google form which will allow you to pick your team. On July 1st, you’ll automatically be placed on that team. The advantage to registering early is that you get to pick your team. If you don’t, you will have to wait until July 1st to get yourself registered, and will not be able to pick the team. |
Other Updates…
Site Rule Updates
Quick reminder that we recently updated our rules as of March. Please take the time to read through them, as a lot of changes were made!100 Character Limit
Starting with the next site update, we will be reinstating the 100 active character limit. This decision was made because profiles with more characters than this were becoming difficult to moderate, and having no limit on characters uploaded can greatly increase the number of images Art Fight needs to host.In addition to this change, there will be a new "Character Archiving" feature that will allow you to "keep" characters beyond this limit. Archived characters will not be attackable and will have minimal profiles, but their names and any attacks made on them will still be visible to users. Archived characters may later be restored to an active profile, though they will need to have images and text re-added. More information on archiving will come when the feature releases.
Not to be confused with the user character limit, we have also added a limit to the total amount of characters able to be added to attacks. There is now a hard limit of 100 characters per attack.

I'm glad to hear about this "archived" character feature. It sucks when you draw a character only to have the owner later delete it! This seems like a good alternative.
Though I DO still wish there were an in-between "archive" and "hidden". While playing artfight, I will often hide my characters so that I can catch up on attacks. But there is no way for people to really know that it is only temporary when "hiding" basically removes the character from view entirely, even bookmarks. I wish I could do more of a softer "deactivate" a character - which leaves them, their art and description visible, but aren't able to be attacked for a while. Be able to put a notice that says "This character will be back in 3 days!" or something. Maybe even automate it with a countdown timer if you want to get fancy.
I just feel bad when I have to hide my characters, and people send me frantic messages like "oh no where did this character go! Please unhide them so I can submit my drawing!". It would be much easier if I could just put a notice on a deactivated character that let people know they were hidden only temporarily, and they'll be unhidden in just a few days so there's nothing to panic about.
