Art Fight Start Date

As 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 Reveal

We 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.

Ratings Update

Spoiler:

Character Filter Update

We will be releasing updates in regards to Art Fight’s character filter guide in the upcoming weeks! 

Tips and Tricks Page

We have a little treat for art beginners or those who seek some nifty tips for art making! We now have a "Tips and Tricks" page where you will find: 
- Tips for drawing on computers, tablets, phones, or on paper
- Free art software for computers, tablets and phones + free 3D software
- How to set up an ideal character page

The traditional art section will be fleshed out some more over the coming weeks, along with some tips for crafting too! 
We hope you find it useful. ♥

mass attackers have been censored.. asjkdsh but i'm so excited! Very glad y'all added animatics as a option too :eyes:
crowcities Attacks were limited to 100 characters due to the moderating strain of having to count over a 100 characters for multiple mass attacks last season. Most mass attacks don't reach 100 characters, so that was the decided character limit so users can still make mass attacks without adding too much moderating strain.

arsaic 2020 Achievements will be given out some time before July 1st. I don't have an approximate date as the achievement art is still being made.

MarcellaYouko If your total character amount (hidden and unhidden characters) exceeds 100 then nothing will happen to the extra characters, you just won't be able to upload any new characters until you're below the limit.

excited to participate this year 👀👀👀
Ooh hell yeah, the archiving thing seems neat! I'm excited for the theme reveal :^DDD
I'm excited for the theme reveal and fight! Though I have to ask due to seeing several people voicing their disappointment; Why did you limit how many characters go on an attack? A lot of folks were wanting to do a mass attack this year ^^;
Otherwise, all hard word is appreciated by you all!! Here's to a great fight :D
Exciting!
