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. ♥

subconniving 2020 Team achievements will be handed out by July 1st ^^. The art for them is still being made.
its crazy how you even need a 100 character limit per attack, i think id die if i drew over 100 characters in one piece LMAO
I'm surprised people actually have 100+ characters. How do you guys make so many and keep up with everything? (Me, who only has like 2-3 I actually actively draw) 
what about last year's achievements..?
Luckyee I AM THAT MADLAD
Have to say, I'm thrilled that painting has been changed to match clean colour in value. Last year seeing speedpaints that took ~1hr earn 3x the points of my fully finished lined that took,,, upwards of 3 hrs a piece was just. Crushing. Bumping clean sketches up to be on par with lines is an utter blessing, too, my carpal tunnel thanks you |D
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA im so excited!! I'm totally gonna get on the grind this art fight, cant wait to see the teams <<

Kind of wish the 100 character limit on attacks wasn't there since I know there's probably someone out there who's willing to spend the entire month to add, i dunno, 300 in a single attack like an absolute madlad (not me, I could never.) But honestly, it's a fair limit! I wish everyone the best of luck this artfight. I'll be uploading some characters later, since I've got a large amount that have been created...
pog, i didn’t really get to do af last year so i’m hoping it’ll be as epic (if not even more) as 2019!
COSPLAY ALLOWED IN ARTFIGHT POG!!!!!
This is gonna be my first art fight, I hope to do it right!
DeeMoon Nothing will happen to accounts with more than 100 characters. All the characters you have before the update will stay but you can't upload any new characters until you're below the threshold. A newspost will be released later giving more details. If you want to read more now about the recent archive system that was added then you can check the #site-status channel in the discord. One of the coders put information about it there.
DeeMoon I highly doubt such a thing exists
