Just a few more days until Art Fight begins on July 1st, 12:00 PM MST


Aside from getting your profiles and characters ready, there's a few ways you can prepare for the event. 


As a reminder, please note that attacks should not be made before-hand, and can only be made during the event. This is put in order to keep things fair! 

You may also find it handy to look over the About, Rules, and FAQ, to make sure you know what's up!  

Feel free to join us in our Discord chat and hang out, ask questions, and get to know your fellow fighters! 


Get ready for another great year of Art Fight!

As of today, there is now a new rules page, separate from the Terms of Service for your convenience. This page can be found up in the "Info" dropdown in the site header.

Though it is important for and expected all users to read the Terms of Service, this should hopefully serve as a easier way to check up on the rules. 

Please look them over, and never hesitate to ask a moderator if you have any questions!

Art Fight 2017 will be starting July 1st at 12:00 PM server time (MST)! 
It won't be long now, so prepare your characters and sharpen your pencils and join us for another amazing month! 
The teams will be revealed at the start of the event.

As of today, everyone will be granted 1 free username change. This is being put in place to reduce the amount of multi-accounting and help out everybody who has thought about wanting to change their username. Be careful, as you only have ONE chance to change it. The limit is being put in place to prevent us from getting flooded with requests, as name changes have to be done manually by staff. If you would like additional name changes after your first, it will be available to you through a donation perk. Please note that the Donation Perks page is from last year and is not currently up to date quite yet.

Also, note that we can adjust your username for minor changes (capitalization, number removal, etc.) for free!

IMPORTANT: When you receive a name change, you are agreeing to giving up your old username, and that anybody in the future can take that name.

If you would like to change your username, please contact a staff member listed on our Contact Us page.

We have made the privacy policy much briefer, (hopefully) easier to understand, and more accurate. It has been completely revamped, so please read the new policy carefully.

Thank you so much everyone for your patience on the achievements! According to our records, we’ve now successfully given out all achievements to those who earned them, however, since we did this by hand it’s possible we might have made some mistakes. If you feel like you got too few (or too many!) achievements this round, please message Takaia, @morichinatsu, or Biscuit and one of us will sort it out for you as soon as possible. To check your achievements, go to your user page and click on the statistics tab.


Some of you asked for physical merchandise to purchase related to art fight, so we've signed up with Redbubble to bring you some things like tshirts with the Art Fight logo on them. In the future, if there’s some interest, we’ll plan on making any team graphics large enough to print on things as well. Hope you enjoy!

Other Info

If you’d like to continue attacking others, you will have to do it privately via PM or on another site!

You are still more than welcome to donate while there is no fight! Any donations made during that time will be put towards your donation total for the upcoming fight, so you’ll receive any perks that you donated for. Donation perks from this year’s fight will expire at the beginning of the fight next year. Takaia will be contacting those who got art perks shortly.

We want your feedback!
Please fill out the final survey and tell us what you thought.
Feel free to also discuss what you thought in the Discord server as well.
