You can read more about what changed by heading over to our Changelog! 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.
Once again, we prioritized improvements to various moderation tools. That being said, we do have some really exciting quality of life updates for you this time around! 

These features are currently in testing and will be available sometime this week if all goes well.


Resize Image + Border Decoration: Art Fight is no longer in 2010 - you will now be able to resize images directly on the upload page! In addition to this, say hello to "Border Decorations," a way to decorate the thumbnails of your attacks and characters. We hope you are as excited as we are about this!


Option to globally turn off CSS: An option to permanently turn off CSS will be added. You can turn this setting on via user settings

Reply Button on comments: Yes, you heard me... you'll now be able to reply directly to comments. Long gone are the days of pinging someone manually!

Account Deletion: Users will sooon able to delete their accounts by heading over to the settings page. Deleting your account is permanent, cannot be reversed, and the data associated with your account cannot be retrieved once the deletion is processed. If you've changed your mind, there is a 15 day grace period in which you can cancel the request. 

Please thank our volunteer dev  fuzzyfuture for spending countless hours developing these features in time for the fight. He's also new to Art Fight (and drawing in general), so give him a big welcome! We appreciate you!

    I'm tuckered out after sending out some attacks so now I'm just up for receiving attacks 
    I'm going to be sad when art fight ends
    Yeah, I got a few comments from bots as well (mainly on some of my older attacks, for some reason). Thanks for doing something about it!
    V, same here. Thank you so much Mods!! Wasn’t sure why some spectator was asking me to be added on discord but very glad that the mods caught it and banned them

    briefly saw some bots going around and I would quickly like to thank the mods for being super speedy banning them 👍

    maybe that’s why our team is losing but that’s alright we’ll thug it out. 😎👍

    Fishleaf I’m the same! I’m just finishing up my first attack/defense and I’m very slow but at least the art looks fire 💯🔥
    Fishleaf said:
    done 2 attacks, im a bit slow but thats because im taking time to review my art and make it QUALITY OVER QUANTITY ^^!!!!! :DD
    HOORAY! looking 4 seafoam buddies 2 attack! (revenge chain?!)
    Is it just me or are attacks not getting sent?
    loonnie said:
    8 attacks in!!! I'll continue to work as hard as I can to attack everyone who's yet to be attacked. :D
    I'm glad that troll account hasn't showed up in a while because that got annoying
    id love attacks :3 i make a list of revenges to do and ill try to get to everyone!! but also i prioritize attacks on seafoam over stardust :3

    are all new features set to be released at the same time, or would it be a gradual rollout of each individually throughout the week, so long as all initial testing goes well?
    do you absolutely love when almost no one attacks you? 🥰
