Hello Art Fighters! If you were a member of the Discord server, you may remember around this time last year we introduced something called Art Fight Prep Prompts!

Well -- they're back, starting today, and continuing until the fight starts in July!



There will be a new prompt posted on the 1st and 15th of every month leading up to the fight, so you can make sure your characters are all fleshed out and battle ready!

Join the Discord server to participate in these prompts, and even more! We have several other minigames that will last until two weeks before the event itself, if you're getting the itch to draw other peoples' characters!
We hope to see you there!

Hello everyone! 


Since Art Fight is coming up quickly, we wanted to get your feedback on our current rules about the maturity ratings. It will go through examples of our current rules, and you will be able to give your opinion on each. There will be illustrations, but you can opt out of seeing them and give your thoughts without seeing the illustrations. It is completely optional to fill out the survey. 
You can fill out the survey here. We appreciate everyone who gives us feedback! 


As well, moderation and coder volunteer applications are still open to those who are interested. 
Moderation volunteer application
- You must be at least 18 years old to apply
- You must have participated in one Art Fight Event.
- Reminder we will most likely look at users who are more active in the chat/site/reporting than those who are inactive. 

Coder volunteer application
- You must be at least 18 years old to apply.
- Looking for those experienced in server administration, Javascript, MySQL, git, etc.
- You must have participated in one Art Fight Event.


Hope you guys are excited for the event! See you around soon!

December 2018 Arctic Fight Minigames




Hello everyone!

Welcome to the December 2018 Arctic Fight Minigames announcement. We have some cool festivities going on this holiday month!




Logo by Tiiramisu


What are Minigames? (recap)


Similar to forum games, minigames are Discord-hosted fun little art-based games that can keep everyone busy throughout the year, and keep the community active when Art Fight isn't active.


There are 5 current games, including Draw The Person Above You, Prompts, Telephone, Guess Adopts, and Featured Character!


If you're interested, more information can be found in our Discord Server.


*You must be verified (make an introduction) to see the #minigame-info channel




December Prompts





Similar to October, we have some special prompts this month! Once again, there will be a new prompt every EVERY day! Don’t feel like you have to follow each day carefully. Feel free to do the prompts in whatever order you want, and feel free to skip prompts!


Post your creations in #prompts! These can also be used in #guess-adopts as inspiration.


We’re encouraging creativity on the behalf of our users, so feel free to @ us on our server or social media with the hashtag #arcticfight.




Collabs



Art by @sanguynn

In addition to our holiday prompts running through the month of December, we are also dropping a few collabs! These will operate in a similar way to the Coffee and Tea collabs that ran during the last official Art Fight event. There will be more later, but the first of them is themed around wintry beverages, take a look! Find more information on these collabs in #minigames-showcase.



Vote!


Before closing, we would like to remind everyone one last time to vote for the Art Fight 2019 themes if you have not already! This is the final poll!

Watch the video and vote here!



❄ ❄ Happy Holidays Art Fighters! ❄ ❄

As some of you may remember, it's been about one month since we released stage 1 of the Art Fight 2019 theme poll a month ago. We’re happy to say that we got over 7,000 votes! With that, it is time for the grand finale, stage 2, the final poll. This poll is a little different from stage 1, because you can only vote for one option. Choose wisely! 

What did you vote for? 
Posted by Rainy on 4 October 2018 08:12:01 PM (Edited by Rainy 4 years ago)
Hey guys! 

Stage 1 of the Art Fight 2019 theme poll is out! However, you only have 1 month to vote in this poll! This poll will end on 5th of November.

October 2018 Art Fright Minigames





Hello everyone!

Welcome to the October 2018 Art Fright Minigames announcement. We have some cool things going on this month. Let’s get into it, shall we?




What are Minigames? (recap)

Similar to forum games, minigames are Discord-hosted fun little art-based games that can keep everyone busy throughout the year, and keep the community active when Art Fight isn't active.

There are 5 current games, including Draw The Person Above You, Prompts, Telephone, Guess Adopts, and Featured Character!

October Prompts



We’ve got a special prompt this month. Rather than just one every month, we have a prompt EVERY day! However, don’t feel like you have to follow each day carefully. Feel free to do the prompts in whatever order you want, and feel free to skip prompts!


Post your creations in #prompts! These can also be used in #guess-adopts as inspiration.


We’re encouraging creativity on the behalf of our users, so feel free to @ us on our server or social media with the hashtag #artfright




Don’t forget about the palette! Feel free to use this as a prompt for your ArtFright prompts, but remember that it isn’t necessary to use it, and you also don’t need to use it specifically for the prompts. Go ahead and make up your own drawing using it!


Inktober


We’re encouraging users to participate in the official Inktober prompt this year! You can post your creations in the #prompts channel. Want a challenge? Use some cool shading methods to experiment with your art!

Note: you can also mix-and-match the ArtFright prompts with the Inktober prompts.

Please MASK all body horror, gore, etc.

Achievements

You might have noticed the attack and team achievements were automated this year. We had a little hiccup and so if you don't have the correct attack achievements or a team achievement, don't worry! There will be scheduled maintenance to make sure everyone is up to date. We're still in the process of making the winner badge, donation badges, longest chain badge, etc. We'll announce it when we have! 


Answers to common questions:




  • The site will remain up and be available for viewing just like before, just without the ability to do stuff with attacks.

  • In a few weeks, the Discord start up a thing called Minigames. Minigames are art related games that you can play when Art Fight isn't active. We've currently got 5 different minigames. It'll be announced when they start up!

  • In October/November, we'll be opening signups for our annual Secret Santa, so stay tuned for that!  

  • If you’d like to continue attacking others, a good alternative is an art trade conducted via PM here, our discord, or other platform of your choice.

  • We are still accepting donations! Any donations made during the time between fights will be put towards your donation total for the upcoming fight.

  • Takaia will be contacting those who got art perks shortly.



We want your feedback!


You can tell us what you thought with the 2018 feedback survey.

Want a say in next year’s theme? Tell us which ideas you like! (Please no joke ideas though, it’s a lot to go through)




Thank you all for participating in Art Fight 2018: Tea VS Coffee

We also have some DeviantART stamp goodies brought to you by @sanguynn!

Art Fight has ended! Thank you all for participating. 

Now that the event has ended, you won't be able to attack anymore. However, the site will still be up and you will be able to do everything but attack. 

Please give the moderators a few days to tend to reports and adjust ratings before the official winner is announced. You are encouraged to report any incorrect ratings you see! 
Posted by Rainy on 24 July 2018 07:12:37 PM (Edited by Rainy 4 years ago)
Hey everyone!
This is just a quick announcement to say that we are extending Art Fight 7 days to make up for the site being down for the first days. We're sorry about that again!
To clarify, Art Fight will be ending on August 8th, 5:00PM US Mountain (AF time) / 7:00PM US Eastern. The front page has been updated to reflect that. 

Some other things to note: 
  • Don't worry about not getting achivements. We'll definitely make sure you have them in the end. 

  • There's no promise about the search coming back, as it was contributing to the slowness of the site, but for now you can find characters by browsing Coffee's Team Page and Tea's Team Page. You can also ask others in the Discord for characters to draw. We hope you understand! 

  • Some of you have asked what happens when Art Fight ends. When the event ends, the winning team receives a cool badge and bragging rights! You will lose the ability to attack, but you can still interact with others and upload characters. We host some cool minigames on the Discord and also host a Secret Santa! 

  • Also, a reminder that If you see any attacks or characters that are inappropriate or not rated properly, please report them! This helps the Attack Mod team a lot. 

  • Don't forget to check out the official AF2018 stamps on our DeviantART! http://fav.me/dcfz6np & http://fav.me/dcfz58i
