10 ArtFight Tips from a Veteran
U wanna go, bro? artfight.net/~sled
yayy my once-a-year upload has come! this time we're talking about Art Fight (Artfight ? ArtFight ? What is the official way to say it ?)... anyway, Art Fight is an art trading game where you are split into teams with ~100,000+ people, 'attack' people with art, and defend your team's honor (and points)! There is a winner in the end, but it's not really competitive, it's just a big, fun art trading event. With the team reveal coming soon, I wanted to talk tips both for noobs and for veterans like myself. Man, I hope the teams are Tropic vs. Arctic as many people have theorized. If so-- Team Tropic all the way, baby!!!!
ok time to list the tips, anyone still here?
1. Have fun!
2. Character Reference Sheets - don't need to be fancy. don't expend too much effort on them, especially if you haven't started yet!
3. Old Art is fine to show, don't be afraid of old art!
4. Stretch your Wrists (or suffer)
5. Experiment with your Art!!!
6. *Try* to thank everyone who draws your guys
7. Keep character biographies / descriptions short, some of us struggle to read!
8. Keep lore short, but definitely have it there. A TLDR (too long didn't read) would work if you want to keep it super super short. if you specifically want lore art you should say that so people know if there's required reading.
9. Use Character Reference Sheets and the thumbnail icons to show off your beautiful guy's personality. (this will help people figure out how to draw your guy)
10. Do artfight for you, not for others. I think this mindset will make you prone to burning out quickly.
Did I really spend half of my video telling you to keep your descriptions short only to write this word soup in my video description? YES! I DID THAT!

    I discovered this video very late, but doing artfight for YOU is so so right. I draw a lot of stuff I usually wouldn't. well, i draw a huge variety of species anyway, however many designs are still different from my usual work in terms of themes and styles. And artfight is so good to push yourself even more. I have that "i improve with every art piece" feeling again that i had lost a bit recently. Its a good event, if you make it fun for you.

    This is my second year and both last year and this year I’ve done paper sketch attacks only, because I know if I did digital art I would burn out very quickly, and the attacks would begin looking bad within maybe the 8th attack. Paper sketches are generally just a very fun way for me to draw and I enjoy it, so that’s what I do for art fight to keep myself having fun instead of burning out :)

    Its my first year of AF and I was wondering if adding stuff like quotes and relationship details with other published characters helps with outlining a character's personality instead of downright stating their traits without overwhelming someone that goes thru my bios

    • @rivli
      @rivli 4 місяці тому

      quotes and relationship details are very helpful to understanding a character! especially for characters you would like to be drawn together. stating traits is always an option, but sometimes adding little bits that imply those traits could better help someone understand that character. like for my character judit, her bio says something like "obsessed with looking mysterious on her train to work" which may just be another way of saying she's somewhat vain, but it allows people to put that trait into a scene- and i've gotten art of it! i've found that stuff like that is great for getting in-character scenes/art :-DDDD i think when someone just lists traits it could be so broad that i'm afraid to put them in a scene and have it be ooc. sorry that was a long response x,D

      @@dustyrose6338 i do agree, and i personally do prefer a comment over a revenge. i don’t think it’s fair to assume everyone is just being disrespectful though, because most of the time they’re not! i’ve not commented on some beautiful art i got in the past because i used to be extremely anxious. i wouldn’t feel owed a response from someone who sees responding as some kind of burden. that’s what i was thinking when i wrote that… you never know what someone may be going through!
