Art Fight 2024

Information about changes made to the site, planned updates, and more!
 


Art Fight Theme Reveal Stream

  • We are currently beginning to prepare for the Art Fight Theme Reveal! The date will be announced in the next newspost. 
  • If you're unfamiliar, the theme reveal is an animation made every year by the talented Axel that announces the theme for the event! We plan on streaming it both on our Twitch and Youtube!
  • Like last year, it will run for 12 hours. We plan on hosting many fun activities throughout the stream! You can also expect a surprise sometime during the stream...

Upcoming Rule Changes 

  • We are working on making several changes to our Rules. Several new additions will be made, as well as general improvements in readability and making some rules more clear, like our stance on no AI Art. 
  • Our Filter Guidelines will also be updated at the same time. 
  • Due to mod strain & limited resources, no changes will be made to our rating system this year. 

April Changelog
You can read more about what changed by heading over to our Changelog!


  • We focused mainly on improvements and additions to our moderation tools. Some new systems were introduced in order to better support moderators. We plan on implementing a few quality of life changes before the fight, but we will mainly be focusing on additional improvements to the moderation tools.
  • Have an idea for Art Fight? Let us know here! We'll periodically check up on this form and add submitted suggestions to our Trello board.


Community

Our moderator application is open, but not for very long! Includes information about our first ever Sprout Fight! 

Mod Apps Open

  • Our moderation apps are still open, but will close soon! You have until April 30th to submit an application. Applications will then close until Art Fight 2024 is finished. If you're interested in moderating for Art Fight, check out this page!
  • You can expect a first batch of new mods to arrive soon - thank you for your patience as we worked on an improved mentorship system, which we believe will better help and support new moderators.

Personally, I'm quite stressed and while I was one of the first to comment my team choices a while ago in this news post, I'll do it again only to keep my mind off certain things to stay positively preoccupied. Only this time- I'll colorize the themes I'd most like to win.

Arctic vs. Tropic - May randomize, but leaning Tropic
Clouds vs. Caverns - Caverns
Comedy vs. Tragedy - May randomize and I really enjoy both, but strong lean to Tragedy
Destruction vs. Creation - Destruction
Flora vs. Fauna - Fauna
Fossils vs. Crystals - Fossils
Heroes vs. Villains - Villains
Knights vs. Dragons - Dragons
Spring vs. Autumn - Not feeling either, but perhaps Autumn
Rain vs. Shine - Rain
Heart vs. Soul - Not into either of these, but probably Heart
Seafoam vs. Stardust - Stardust
Time vs. Space - Time
Trinkets vs. Treasure - Treasure, although I really like both of these! 

Runners up for 'hopes to win': Fauna, Villains, Destruction.

I'm typically a loyal team player and don't like to swap teams/play traitor but I *might* consider doing it for the first time if Treasure or Tragedy wins? Not sure yet so don't hold me to it.

Also, my profile is under construction and I have A LOT of my characters hidden right now with some new ones likely debuting this year. My main and strongest focus: Monsters (Dragons especially) and creatures - both fictional and nonfictional.
It's gonna be reeeaally tough this year, picking one side on any of these extremely fun lookin and creative themes 
Idk are we picking what we'd like? So excited rooting for arctic/tropic or maybe cloud/cavern or fossil/crystal, idk, something I love 

arctic vs. tropic - arctic 🇨🇦
clouds vs. caverns - clouds
comedy vs. tragedy - tragedy 
destruction vs. creation - depends on badges 
flora vs. fauna - fauna
fossils vs. crystals - fossils
heroes vs. villains - villains
knights vs. dragons - DRAGONS
rain vs. shine - depends 
heart vs. soul - soul
seafoam vs. stardust - SEAFOAM FOR SURE
time vs. space - ???
trinkets vs. treasure - ??? 
this would be my first art fight🫣🤭

arctic vs. tropic - tropic
clouds vs. caverns - caverns
comedy vs. tragedy - tragedy
destruction vs. creation - creation
flora vs. fauna - flora
fossils vs. crystals - crystals
heroes vs. villains - villains

rain vs. shine - shine
heart vs. soul - soul
seafoam vs. stardust - seafoam 
time vs. space - space
trinkets vs. treasure - trinkets
