New filtering system!

We have made some changes to our filtering system. The filter categories are the same, but your personal filter settings are now easier to use and understand. Go to your settings to have a look and adjust the filters to your preferences.

Changes for filters include:

  • New design for your personal filter settings
  • Characters and attacks in filter categories you have set to hide can no longer be accessed. To see them, change the filter to censor or show instead.
  • Extreme nudity and sexual themes are hidden for minors, they will be accessible when a user turns 18
  • With the update to the system, all user filters have been set to "hide" by default. Go to your settings to set your preferences.

Changes to the attack guide



  • The “Drawings” category has changed name to “Drawn / Painted”
  • Clean Color and Painting under the Coloring subcategory has been merged into Clean Color.
  • Added that painting a 3D printed version of a 3D model counts as a self produced texture. (In the 3D section.)
  • Clarified that question 8 under Crafts in the attack FAQ relates to crafts only.

also why tf is everyone commenting a vampire


idk I just found it funny
RIP Art Fight. Had fun drawing art for my friends this year as this event always seems to help push me into improving more. I had a nice two years participating but with how things are, it's unlikely it'll continue next year. My socials are on my profile like always. Xoxo
AEira hopefully Takaia does understand and compensate the employees, though it probably won’t happen, we can at least hope for a better owner who can pay their employees and still manage the site
Æira said:
It will probably shut down because it’s illegal for the owner to pocket money from donations and act like those donations will only go towards Artfight (and instead they go towards themselves too). If someone wanted to, they could sue the owner and win. Galaxy_Console

Copy pasting a comment from the thread on Toyhouse:

Artfight is a sole proprietorship, not a charity or non-profit [which they falsely claimed previously].
That being said, under US law:
- A sole proprietorship is a business, and a business is not legally allowed to have volunteer staff. They can have contractors [a self-employed person or entity contracted to perform work for—or provide services to—another entity as a non-employee], but all staff must be compensated adequately. 
- Takaia can be sued for wages lost throughout a staff member's time as a volunteer, should a court find that the volunteers were acting as employees [based on work times, work loads, etc]. Takaia would have to pay every single one of the staff members' pay backlogs.
- If the above is found to be true in a court of law, Takaia will also be pursued by the IRS, as the taxes on all of that would be WAY MORE than they would have actually paid in.

This isn't even going into the California laws, either. I hope Takaia understands that they royally fucked up and, should someone even remotely alert the proper entities to them, will likely be in a heap of legal trouble.
Galaxy_Console not the current fight, but considering all but 30 staff members stepped down, then yeah, it probably isn't lasting much longer


Basically, it's an embezzlement scam and it has been this entire time.
JustAGrook Still kinda confused, people are acting like Art Fight is stopping forever, while in the Google doc they said that it’s not shutting down, but just mentioned some, well, not GREAT stuff… Just need some clarification if it is shutting down or not.

WHY IS EVERYONE SAYING RIP IS ART FIGHT DYING??
