Your job is to draw your character on top of the background, interacting with background elements. We will feature the finished drawing on our Discord and the 2022 winner newspost! Come join the fun~
Another note to 3D artists
We would also like to address what we announced about bases in our last newspost. We've gotten some feedback and now have a better understanding of how important bases can be to a 3D artist's work process. This is why we are reversing our decision and are allowing base usage (with limitations) and vroid models this year! You can read about the changes in the section beneath! We want to apologise if we hurt anyone with our previous post or made it seem like we don't care about the 3D community. That was never our intentions!We would also like to remind you that we are made up of volunteer efforts. We make art fight what it is on our free time, whether its development or moderating. We are just a group of people who want to bring you the best possible event, and on our way we may make a mistake or two!
We hope the 3D community will be happy with these changes. We worked very hard to bring you something that would let your creativity run free AND guards the game against any loopholes like spray painting a sims 4 cat as an attack (this would NOT be allowed under our current guidelines). And remember to give feedback in the forms at the end of the fight!
Art Fight aims to create a welcoming space for artist diversity and we hope these changes reflect that. Happy fighting from the team!
Rating updates
Apart from some minor text changes, point tweaks, and some new examples, here are the bigger changes in the guide this year:3D Modeling
- Vroids, digital doll paintovers and base usage is now allowed and have their own subcategory.- Rigging has been added as a subcategory.
- Finish and light subcategories have been removed as they were redundant or confusing to define.
Crafts
- Clarified that painting figurines (fully) is okay for craft paintovers.- Added brick builds to the bead category.
Animations
- Renamed "type" to "amount of movement" for clarity.- Added "mixed movement" as a way to categorise attacks with both partial and full animation.
- Added PMV to the animatic subcategory
- 3D animation have been moved to tweening, as rigging is covered under the 3D category now.
- 2D vtuber models now have their own category to make up for any rigging work.
Reminders
Some reminders of changes we made last year:Spoiler:

It's mid-July and I noticed something a bit sad. I know that we are in a game and that the goal is to have fun, and precisely it would be cool for everyone to have fun.
It's good to attack the "big" artists, but it would be good to attack people who don't receive many drawings despite their many attacks. For example, it's cool to attack Sixbane en masse (I like Sixbane and what she manages to produce is impressive), but when I see that she receives about fifty drawings a day while other artists don't get any, it makes me sad... All that to say; think a bit about everyone instead of focusing on a few big artists. At least, try to defend if you don't crumble under attacks.
I know my comment won't help much, but I needed to talk about it x)
