Art Fight Theme Reveal Stream
- Please join us on June 15th for the 2024 Art Fight Theme Reveal, which will stream live on our YouTube. The stream will start at 2:00pm UTC and run until 8:00pm UTC, at which point the team reveal animation will play!
- The Art Fight Theme Reveal is an animation made annually by the talented Axel that announces the theme for this year's Art Fight. We hope you can make it, but don't despair if you can't - after the stream, the themes will be announced onsite, and the animation will be posted to our YouTube.
- Leading up to the reveal, we'll also have a ton of in-stream activities hosted by mods like Quiplash, Gartic Phone, and some fun art games! We've also got word in that there'll be an exciting announcement after the reveal, so make sure to stick around. I mean what, who said that?

Art Fight Start Date
- Like every year, Art Fight 2024 will start on July 1st at 6:00pm UTC.
- We recommend that you start preparing yourself now by updating your characters, bookmarking other people’s characters, and getting those refs into shape... there's no time like the present!
- Remember that drawing attacks before Art Fight starts (July 1st, 6:00pm UTC) is against the rules. Not only is it unfair to others, but it is a direct violation of the spirit of Art Fight. If you attempt to do this, your account may be banned. Please be considerate and show good team spirit!
Art Fight 2024Information about changes made to the site, planned updates, and more!  |
Art Fight Keychain Updates
- Keychains are now in production, and users who pre-ordered one will receive an email once they've shipped. They'll start shipping out soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
- The onsite achievement for users who purchased a keychain will be processed before the event begins. Thanks for your patience!
- We've given our site rules a long-needed update. Before the event begins, please make yourself familiar with our updated Rules.
- Alongside editing them for clarity, our rules have been updated to reflect our updated Filters Guidelines, our disallowance of AI-generated content, and general information regarding allowed characters and content on the site.
- We have updated our Filter Guidelines. Please take the time to review them here, as we have made some changes to certain types of content allowed on Art Fight. Notably, we have renamed Sexual Themes to Suggestive Themes, which has been significantly updated as a category. We are also moving away from using the term "Maturity Filters" in favor of simply "Filters".
- We'd like to apologize for making these changes right before the fight, as we understand that these kinds of updates can be overwhelming. Internal systems and resources took priority this year; in the future, we will release major rule updates at least a few months before the fight to give users ample time to review them.
- To make up for this, we will be providing users with a grace period to change or remove any affected content. No penalties will be issued to users whose content may need to be re-filtered or removed from the site. During this time, moderators may hide offending characters and notify users that they need to be filtered or removed, and users will be able to migrate newly-disallowed content off-site. This grace period will last until July 14, 2024. After this point, content found that is in violation of the updated Filter Guidelines may be subject to stricter administrative action. Note that this grace period will not apply to content that is uploaded after the posted date of our new Filter Guidelines.
- If you have any questions concerning our new Rules or Filters Guidelines, please contact a moderator or ask in one of our Discord's help channels.
- In an effort to reduce site-mod strain and balance the creative expression of our users with respect for copyright laws, we have updated our DMCA procedure.
- Uncredited photo backgrounds are now handled through reports from the infringed parties via the DMCA system rather than through site reports. We encourage users to credit photo backgrounds if they are using them for attacks.
- Below are the key points regarding what is now permissible on-site and what will be subject to takedown:
- Original characters (OCs) in canon characters' clothes.
- Redrawing canon characters or logos on accessories; it is acceptable to depict canon characters on accessories such as T-shirts or as plushies, but they must be hand-drawn renditions.
- Alternate universe (AU) characters can now bear a closer resemblance to canon characters, as long as the AU has at least one noticeable difference from the canon design.
- Exact replicas and re-uploads of canon characters.
- Directly uploading company logos as characters.
- Posting images that are not explicitly free-to-use, such as collages or moodboards. You may however host these moodboards or collages off-site (such as on Pinterest) and link them in the character's bio.
Head over to our Changelog to find out more about what's changed!
- Like in April, we focused on improvements and additions to our moderation tools. In the past, moderators were not able to view certain report types due to permission roadblocks. This has been fixed, and believe that this will lead to better response times on reports. The Tag Search has also been optimized and load times should also improve. Both of these fixes are in testing and will be live on the site this week.
- We are also working on implementing a way for users to delete their account. We're hoping to release this before the fight begins, but may not be able to due to the internal work it requires. As always, we thank you for your patience regarding this.
- 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.
Edit (06/12/24): Regarding our new Suggestive Themes rules
- We plan to release a separate newspost clarifying and adjusting some of our recently changed rules

This is why I specifically said 'publically'. I'm not part of the discord.
If you have the graphic, you can share it- I don't mind.

THEME SPECULATION! At first I'd gotten my hopes up for arctic v tropic or rain v shine because of Sun's colors and hat, but I wonder if the background is actually a geological cross section (which could explain the weird perspective, vague blocky shapes, and inconsistent line boldness that were confusing me so much before). If so, that'd probably mean fossils/crystals or possibly clouds/caverns? Something to do with the underground. Maybe even trinkets/treasures if you reach! Those wouldn't be my personal favorites, but they're definitely still cool! And I wouldn't be surprised if the reveal happens and it turns out I was majorly overthinking it. But I can not for the life of me figure out what the background is supposed to be lol! I'M EXCITED TO FIND OUT!!!!!
'Course the specific theme's not that important. The amazing art always sells me on the themes even if I initially think they're dumb (2021 the shining example). What REALLY matters is that the team I want to be on isn't orange colored. I am cursed with always preferring the orangey team. This is why I want arctic v tropic or rain v shine so bad. Art fight, why aren't you catering to ME specifically? Smh...

My first guess was Arctic Vs Tropic. Its been in high demand for years and the color scheme/design here gives that impression.
Giving it more thought, it could also be Seafoam vs Stardust (Didn't believe it at first, but there's been enough speculation now that it's got me rethinking it), Rain vs Shine, Creation vs Destruction, Heart vs Soul, Heroes vs Villains or Flora vs Fauna.
I really don't want Knights vs Dragons but I believe what appears to be an old book/manuscript is in the background, so I hope I'm wrong on that.
Unfortunately- Fossils vs Crystals, Treasure vs Trinket and Comedy vs Tragedy probably lost and those were my top three I voted for.
All that said, I'm going to be about the only and first person to suggest this but it'd be kind of cool to see something like a pie chart graphic of all the votes after the reveal is announced- showing how many votes came in and how much each category received. In my 3 years of Art Fight, I don't recall seeing anything like that publically or anyone suggesting it before me. Maybe the new team will take it in consideration and I'll keep it in my drafts for end of the event feedback.
As for the 'surprise', I'm somewhat certain it'll be a plushie reveal (even if my first thoughts suspected an announcement for a 2nd Art Fight event)
