Where did the time go? There's less than 48 hours left of Art Fight 2023!!

Here's what to expect for the end of the fight:


  • As in previous years, team point totals will now be hidden until the winner reveal.

  • The winner reveal and final point totals will be announced on August 12th, 2023 by end of day.

  • You may report incorrect ratings on attacks until the end of the fight. After this point, you will no longer be able to report attacks for incorrect ratings from Art Fight 2023.

  • The official end date of Art Fight 2023 is August 1st, 2023 at 12:00PM MT (18:00 UTC). You can view the countdown to the end of the fight on the front page of the site.

  • Don't wait until the last minute to submit your final attack- the site will likely see some slowdown in the final hour of the event, and you will not be able to submit attacks once the the clock hits 12:00PM MT on August 1st. Staff will likewise not be able to submit attacks for you after the event ends.

  • Please note that the "Recent Attacks" section on the front page will be removed once the event ends, and won't return until next year's fight.


And a few housekeeping notes from me:


  • The issue with submitting reports and the missing incorrect rating category has been fixed as of 7/18
  • Recent Characters and Recent Attacks have been returned to the front page as of 7/19. They are also available on the team pages again as of 7/20. Personal apologies about how long it took to get those back up- the data loading issues there have been resolved now.


That's it for now, everyone have fun with the end of the fight and get those final attacks in!!

Also please stay tuned for an important news post regarding Art Fight leadership and staffing changes in the near future.

you team werewolf motherfuckers are REALLY defensive huh
Plushpawbs especially yo ass
why can't I express my opinion in peace 
this is why I fucking hate people sometimes /vneg
EmmyBlubonic, Im sorry but I agree with UnearthlyOne, as they say, this event sounds like this isnt for you if you dont think that a passive competition is ok (literally tho, youd be surprised how many people find the addition to teams and points FUN) 
And secondly, you seem to forget what the spirit of art fight is;
While Art Fight features a competition between two teams, at its core it is a game that celebrates characters and giving back to fellow creators. Our goal is to create a positive environment where artists of all skill levels can participate and make art for one another.
Please keep negativity out of the comments if you can, if you just want to do art trades literally go anywhere and ask on social media/art groups bc Im sure theres people who would be open to them, but for the sake of this event, it is not wanted here to most people to be complained to about enjoying this event when you didnt

First artfight and it was amazing! I love everything about so many different artists coming together in a community and I’m nearly sad it is coming to an end but that means I’m most definitely taking part next year!
Despite what happened it was still a very fun artfight as always.

Anyways, I'm looking for some simple shaped characters or cats to cash in a couple extra points! Go Vampires!
EmmyBlubonic because ArtFight is doing exactly what it’s intended and stated to. There isn’t a problem with a competitive game /existing/, it just may not be what you enjoy. Again back to the romance novel example - different genres existing is fine, you don’t have to enjoy all of them, just don’t read the ones you don’t like. Plenty of people enjoy competition and get more motivated by it, ArtFight obviously has its audience. If you actively dislike points and competition then why join something explicitly based around them?

(If this posted with a weird font, I’m not sure why - it suddenly changed as I was typing)

(Also look if you’d like me to drop it or take this out of comments and to DMs or something I can - it just seems like a weird stance and I’m trying to understand, the ‘why join’ question is genuine and not rhetorical)
Second artfight baby, hoping to continue again next year and more!
Almost matched up to my attacks last year... sadly I was cut off in the middle of the event with school coming back so I'm just a few off
Have a good one everyone!!!
This was my fist ArtFight! I loved it, I hope I’m back for next year!  

Hope to see y’all next year!
have a good last day everybody!!
