News
Reports on attack ratings will be temporarily disabled after 4PM MDT. If you wish to report attacks for reasons not involving ratings, (i.e. Harassment, tracing, etc.) please report the User’s profile and describe the problem accurately in the report. Once again thank you all for your help!
I apologize about the sudden site slowness yesterday and today. Due to this, the event will be ending August 11th at 7pm MDT (Art Fight time). Here's a countdown timer if you need it
After the event ends, the moderators will spend a few days responding to attacks and double checking things. The official newspost will be posted after that with the winning team.
We appreciate the patience this last month. We hope you've all had a great fight!

Art Fight 2020 Extension & Updates
Hi everyone! The team hopes you've been enjoying the fight so far! We've got a few updates and reminders for you all. Please read below for more information. |
Art Fight 2020 Extension
You may have noticed that the site was slow for a few days after the event started. We apologize about the inconvenience it may have caused you all.
Due to the site being inaccessible for a few days, we've made the decision to extend the fight until August 10th, 2020 12:00PM MDT. The site wasn't down for that long, but we wanted to surprise you all with a longer extension this year. We hope you all enjoy the extra time!
Known Site Issues
Art Fight should be running pretty smooth now, with the exception of an error you may get on the front page, and the statistics page being temporarily inaccurate. There may be some slow patches, but it should be generally stable!
Rating Update - Animation Balancing, Simple Characters & Minimal Form
Our rating system isn't perfect, so we've made some important changes to it for the rest of the fight that we think you'll like!
Animation
On July 4th, we recently balanced animation points, since animation was giving a bit more points than intended. All attacks uploaded after that have the intended amount.
Simple Characters & Minimal Form
There has been some controversy surrounding the Simple Shaped Character size rating. We've heard your concerns, and are implementing a new size rating called Minimal Form.
Sometimes referred to as 'blobs', these doodle-like characters are drawn with minimum effort. They generally feature singular simple shapes or silhouettes. Characters that can be drawn in only a few strokes or lines can fall into this category.
The team will be updating existing attacks we deem fit with this rating. We'll also be doing some point recalculations too, so you may notice some point changes!
We urge you to all check out the new rating description by clicking here.
Art Fight 2020 Questions Here's some general information for newbies to help aid them in navigating the site! Please be reminded that our Moderators are always available for general Art Fight questions, and our Adminstrators are available for anything a Moderator can't answer! If you haven’t already, we also encourage you to join the Discord server here! Discord is one of the fastest ways to get contact with moderators and the latest information regarding the site. |
How do I get sorted?
Now that the event has officially started, you can click “Current Event” in the upper right hand corner to check it out. Once there, you can go ahead and get sorted into a team. Team sorting is done manually to help prevent teams from being flooded with abandoned and inactive accounts. Which team you get sorted is mostly based on how many users are on the teams already, to help make sure that the user count is balanced and each team has an equal chance based on member count.
How do I attack?
Once you’ve been sorted into one of the two teams, you are then able to click the Submit button in the navbar and there should now be “Attack!”.
What is rating?
You may notice a Rate Attacks option under Browse. Here, you can rate attacks that have been submitted, giving them a small addition to their points if you upvote them. This is not a required part of gameplay! It’s just if you want to take part in it.
You also do not need to be on a team to rate! Spectators, if you want to have a little part in the game too, now’s your chance!
Is friendly fire a thing? What is it?
Friendly fire in Art Fight means to attack someone on the same team as opposed to attacking someone on the opposite team, and it most definitely is a thing! You’d attack them just like you would anybody else. However, since the goal is to attack people on the other team, friendly fire will not count for points.

Art Fight 2020 Theme Reveal and Early Bird Registration
Hello everyone, are you excited for Art Fight yet? You should be, because we have some nice surprises coming up!
Theme Reveal
It’s become a tradition to animate a short video revealing the theme. This year, we revealed the 2020 Art Fight theme on stream. If you missed the stream, find the video here! We chose to spice things up this year and also incorporated a summer/autumn kind of feeling to the themes. We hope you like them!
Early Bird Registration - Pick your team!
Yes, as we stated before, you will be able to pick your team early by clicking on this google form and following the instructions. Please be aware that you won’t get on your team immediately, it will take some time to process. The form will close before July 1st.
If you want to get further updates, make sure you join our Discord Server to get fast announcements. As well, check out our Twitter!
Maturity Filters Update
Upon feedback from you, we’ll be slightly revamping the maturity filters and their rules. You’ll see an announcement for that later on!
Ratings Update
We’re proud to announce that the rating system got a big update! You’ll see a variety of new options when rating an attack. Please be sure to look over the Attack Guide before making an attack to see where your art may fall!
Here are some of the changes made for this year:
- There is a new overarching Attack Type section, which includes "Drawing", "3D Modeling" and "Crafts!" These will offer different options in the drop down menu, and will have relevant scorings.
- The new Craft category allows you to chose from: Textile, Clay, Heavy-Metal Work, Food Art, Bead Work, and Paper Craft.
- The new 3D Modeling category lets you choose from Model or Sculpt, Texture types, and Lighting types.
- Animation now has two parts for scoring. The length, and technique. Technique allows you to choose between Frame-By-Frame, Tweening/Stop-Motion, and 3D animation.
- There is a new Polish check-mark. This allows you to give your attack bonus points for any extra effort you may have put into your piece!
- Single-Tone Shading and Multi-Tone Shading have been combined into one Fully-Shaded category.
- Simple Scene and Complex Scene have been combined into one Scene category.
- Painting has been moved from the Finish category to the Coloring category.
- Point numbers have been rebalanced all around!
Dark Mode
As you may have noticed, we now have a dark theme available! We did switch everyone to this theme temporarily, but you're more than welcome to change back to light theme here.
We hope you are as excited as we are for Art Fight 2020! Let’s make this a good year.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Art Fight 2020 Start Date and Theme Reveal
That event you're waiting for is happening soon... As always, Art Fight 2020 will be starting on July 1st at 12:00 pm US Mountain time. Make sure you prepare yourself by updating your characters and bookmarking some characters early! Like last year, there will be an option to choose your team before the fight, after the theme reveal! On June 20th at 12:00 pm US Mountain time, we will be going live on Twitch, streaming the official Art Fight 2020 theme reveal animation! After the reveal, we will release a google form which will allow you to pick your team. On the 1st, you’ll automatically be placed on that team. The advantage to registering early is that you get to pick your team. If you don’t, you'll be placed on your team the traditional way — randomly! Additional info will be released on the 20th. Make sure to follow our Twitter for more details about the form. Follow our Twitch to get a notification when we're live! Other Updates... |
New Moderators
We’d like to welcome some of our new moderators joining us this year! Please give a big welcome to leafjelly, luphorics, spacenerdy, sabletide, @moesoup, bearlissa, Chalk, cyxxie, coldpressedhoney, and @spottedfang! We will be having more faces join us throughout the fight as well.
Filters Update
The maturity filters were updated for 2020! There were some small changes to the rules, but gore, body horror, sensitive content have all received art examples. We hope this will help users better understand how our filters work with the provided examples!
You can look through each section here.
Rules Update
We’ve made some changes to the rules for Art Fight 2020! We recommend you all read through them as there were some big changes made.
Please take a moment to read them!
Username Changes Reminder
Please note that we will not be taking username change requests during the event (July 1st - August 1st) to prevent strain on moderators. If you would like to change your username, you still have about a month to do so. See the contact page for more information on how to change your name.
Supporters (contributing donations of $5+) are exempt from this rule.
Discord Server Changes
As of June 15th, the minigames on the Art Fight Discord will be closing down due to Art Fight. Just like last year, you will still be able to edit your finished claims, so don’t worry about rushing to finish. Users will continue to receive the timeout role if they do not complete their claims within two weeks.
The Discord voice-chats will also be closing for the duration of Art Fight due to moderation being shifted primarily to the event. They will open some time after the fight. VIP voice-chats will remain up during the event. We have also removed the Dream vs Nightmare team roles to prepare for the new roles, and you’ll notice a new icon in celebration of Pride Month, also!
If you haven’t already, you can join the Discord server here! Discord is one of the fastest ways to get contact with moderators and the latest information regarding the site.
2019 Achievements
You should have received a notification about them already, but the 2019 achievements are now complete, and here they are in all their glory!
Dream, Nightmare, Traitor, Dream Loyal, Nightmare Loyal, 2019 Winner
The achievements are done by our amazing lead artist Axel. Give him a follow!
Front Page Revamp
With Art Fight around the corner, we've been making some changes to the front page. One improvement we've made is by adding links to essential pages, such as the about page and the guides. We hope this will make things easier to find! We have also added recent characters, random characters, and random attacks to the front page!
This is just the beginning, and these changes aren't final! We'll be working on styling the front page to make it look more visually appealing in the upcoming weeks, and have some cool donation perks in development for our supporters!
We hope you'll enjoy these changes!
Art Fight Start Date
Art Fight will be starting on July 1st, 2020, as normal.
We have gotten several inquires about Art Fight starting early for those in quarantine. Unfortunately, Art Fight will not start early. A lot of work gets put into each year to make an early release not possible, and this includes the art assets and the theme reveal that are done just for the 2020 Art Fight. Alongside that, we have some adjustments to make to the rules and guidelines to better your experience! However, we do have some awesome Art Minigames on our Discord that will be active until Art Fight begins.

DREAM VS NIGHTMARE...
CONGRATS TEAM NIGHTMARE
Final Score...
2,029,075 vs 2,044,246
Attacks
The attack that did the most damage, with the most amount of characters from the opposing team is "wormy night" by sunminny with a whooping 16,651 points, featuring......3296 characters?!
This is a mass attack of a worm character based off the painting "Starry Night". What a unique take!
This attack should rank among your top ten betrayals. Intended to raise nearly 7k points, at the last minute Milkbomby decided to switch to team Dream and friendly-fire Takaia, resulting in the attack receiving no points. What a traitor!

Hello Art Fighters! Welcome to Art Fight 2019. We’re all excited for you to participate!
As you already know, the theme of 2019 is Dream vs Nightmare!
Here is some general information for those who are new!
How to get sorted:
Now that the event has officially started, you can click “Current Event” in the upper right hand corner to check it out. Once there, you can go ahead and get sorted into a team. Team sorting is done manually to help prevent teams from being flooded with abandoned and inactive accounts.
Which team you get sorted is mostly based on how many users are on the teams already, to help make sure that the user count is balanced and each team has an equal chance based on member count.
How to attack:
Once you’ve been sorted into one of the two teams, you are then able to click the Submit button in the navbar and there should now be “Attack!”.
What is rating?
Once the fight has started, you may notice a Rate Attacks option show up under Browse. Here, you can rate attacks that have been submitted, giving them a small addition to their points if you upvote them. You can only vote on each attack once a day.
This is not a required part of gameplay! It’s just if you want to take part in it. You also do not need to be on a team to rate! Spectators, if you want to have a little part in the game too, now’s your chance!
Is friendly fire a thing? What is it?
Friendly fire in Art Fight means to attack someone on the same team as opposed to attacking someone on the opposite team, and It most definitely is a thing!
