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.
Volunteer Applications
One quick reminder that our volunteer application is still open! If you've ever been interested in helping out, here's your chance!

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! You’d attack them just like you would anybody else, except since the goal is to attack people on the other team, friendly fire will not count for points.

Art Fight 2019 Start Date and Theme Reveal
As it is every year, Art Fight 2019 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!
Instead of revealing the theme on the fight’s start, we will be revealing it EARLY on June 20th at 1:00 pm US Mountain time. Like last year, you can join us for the countdown on our Twitch.
Similar to last year, we will be playing an animated short revealing the theme of 2019 on our Twitch this year as well. If you didn't see the 2018 reveal, you can watch it here.
After the theme is revealed, you will also get to pick your team early! You will simply have to fill out a google form that will put you on your team on the 1st. 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! We will be releasing more info regarding this on the 20th. Be sure to follow us on Twitter to get fast updates regarding that.
Filters Update
A few months ago we released a survey gathering what users thought about our current filters. We’ve taken that feedback and greatly revised some of our rules. We have also added an entire category to Epilepsy sensitive images. Please read the updated guide here.
Ratings Update
In addition to the filters, we have also revised our attack rating guide and adjusted the point values following your feedback. While the point values are not public at this moment, we can give you a general run down:
Username Changes Reminder
Please be reminded that we will not be taking username change requests during the event (July 1st - August 1st) due to 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.
Donators of 5$ and up will still be able to use their 1 free name change and are exempt from this rule.
Discord Server Changes
2018 Achievements
You should have received a notification about them already, but the 2018 achievements are now complete, and here they are in all their glory!
[Coffee, Tea, Traitor, Tea Loyal, Coffee Loyal, 2018 Winner]
The achievements are done by our lead artist Axel, give him a follow!

Hello everyone!
We have one more survey for you. We’re currently reviewing our attack ratings, and wanted to get your feedback on our current rules on it. In this form, we’ll ask you how you felt about the ratings last year and if you thought you got the correct amount of points. We value your opinion, so please check it out! You can fill out the survey here. We appreciate everyone who gives us feedback!
We also have one quick announcement to make. With the exception of donators, who will still be able, we will not be taking username change requests during the event (July 1st - August 1st) due to strain on moderators. If you would like to change your username, you still have about 2 months to do so. See the contact page for more information on how to do change your name. The FAQ has been edited to reflect this.

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!
