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.

Arctic vs Tropic 
Clouds vs Caverns
Comedy vs Tragedy
Destruction vs Creation
Flora vs Fauna
Fossils vs Crystals 
Heart vs Soul
Heroes vs Villains
Knights vs Dragon
Rain vs Shine
Seafoam vs Stardust
Spring vs Autumn
Time vs Space
Trinkets vs Treasure

i’m super excited for this season!! im hoping for comedy vs tragedy or destruction vs creation
I *have a feeling* I know which theme will win out, but I'll reveal which ones were my most preferred & least liked anyway.

Top 3 favorites: Fossils, Treasure, Tragedy
(Runners up I'd also like to see be chosen: Fauna, Destruction, Villains)

As much as I love dragons, I really hope Knights vs Dragons doesn't win due to a vast majority of AF going Dragon (including me). Knights vs Dragons would just be the 2024 version of Vampires vs Werewolves and I don't want a repeat of that.
The remainder of the themes, I'm not too crazy about.
However, I guess my bottom 3 (in terms of theme visuals/symbols) are Heart vs Soul, Seafoam vs Stardust and Spring vs Autumn.

It has to be today. The Fabled Friday New Post...

You know what would be great (but won't happen)? If they gave the Top 3 teams in the May post, weeks before the June reveal. I guess some wouldn't like that since they'd want a full surprise, but a little tease would be fun.

EDIT: It wasn't the last day in May. RIP. Surely the first week in June...? Unless they just skip the May Post entirely.
