I've been interested in art fight for like 3 years now, but... I don't think I can do it :[ I am often too lazy and demotivated to draw, and I want to art fight more for fun rather than competitively. Making one drawing takes a lot of energy out of me, making reference sheets takes about five times more than that. Also for all I know I might get confused with the layout, I heard you have to label your art or something... I'm so bad at labeling cuz what if it fits two categories at once and I can only pick one ... Also I often get tired of interacting with people and I just want to disappear like I was never there. Overall I think I might not be welcome on art fight with my sheer lack of productivity, but I can't stop wanting to draw a few other people's characters for fun sometimes
I've been doing artfight for like 3 years but this was still so helpful????? And what me not having finished my refs sheets and getting called out whatt noooo
CHATTT SHOULD I JOIN ARTFIGHT? I DID IT WHEN I WAS RLLY YOUNG SND THEN I GOT MY OC DRAWN ONCE. SFTER THAT I STOPPED LOL AND NOW IWANR RO DO ARTFIGHT AGAIN AND I HAVE ZERO PREPERATION AT ALL SHOULD I???
While I haven't done AF as long here's something I'd like to share!. YOU DON'T OWE ANYONE ART. I'v seen so many people get upset or fight with people over this. While yes it can suck if you attack many people and not many attacks you back, im guilty of being sad about this too, don't let it discourage you !. Just remember this is just something fun, so don't harass anyone for artwork; if someone is harassing you ignore them. Just keep drawing, and if you're not having fun take a break from the site and do something for yourself!. Im someone who wants to attack as many people as i can back, but it causes massive stress and doesn't make it fun for me. This is something im still working on. So if this happens, step away for a while and take care of yourself💞. Don't feel the need to push. Stay safe, and care for each other because we're all just artists who want to create, and have fun!.
this will be my first time joining artfight, and tbh also the first time i'll be serious about art. i'm a very new artist, but artfight just seems like a lot of fun and i wanna join! i'm so worried my art won't be good enough though, i'm still struggling with drawing my own characters lol
This is like technically my first year of artfight lol I’m trying to get some of my friends to participate I’m so far successful in one This is a pretty well done video honestly I kinda knew the basics eye catching characters and site crashing reference sheets etc (that’s how you can tell I’m prepared lol) I checked your profile all your characters seem really cool honestly can’t wait for artfight so I can have a valid excuse to draw them I swear I’ll probably be sick drawing on a phone with my finger even more after this lol
as someone who never gets many attacks I am really hoping the tips you gave can help give me more reach!! I wish you good luck and threw you a follow. (Also the profile decoration was such an amazing idea, I wish more people did that!!)
this video was helpful, haha. it's my first year of art fight- and I think gumiwyrms is on my attack list. becuase who doesn't want to draw those goober-looking ocs.
I’ve only done Artfight once, so this’ll be my second year! I had a blast the first year so I can’t wait for this one >:] A little question: Are you still able/allowed to swap art with people after July? I thought a read somewhere that you weren’t allowed to but I might’ve misread and I can’t check atm
That thumbnail got me 😂 great video! Super hyped for art fight, it’s my fifth year (I’m on a 3 year losing streak) so I’m ready to make year 5 a big win!
I lovve artfight, i'll draw so much the first half of the month and then explode hwhwhw but its alright lol personally i like taking a quick glance at everyones ocs and then picking one i like or even seeing if this person has gotten any recent attacks or not, always nice drawing for ppl who don't get much art ^^
I'm going to revenge every attack I get if I can, but revenge chains are usually reserved for friends! if you attack me, I attack back and you attack again I'd try my best to attack again etc though!
Just wondering not sure if I caught this is the vid or not it was kinda a background for drawing some refs but how do I get the 100x100 pixel things into normal pieces of art if that makes sense?cause they are very blurry but I see people with normal looking characters!
what i do is upload a square image (i do 800x800) and then once youve uploaded it to the character, you can select it as the thumbnail! it should be like...two boxes with all the art, the one on the right is the thumbnail!
I draw a fully shaded headshot and than a flat colored full body as a ref sheet, + some color blobs with text that says what it's for. And a little info on the oc, Can anyone tell me if this is good?
If you can’t use Discord to put images on your profile, what are some alternatives that you can use? (I was wondering why the images weren’t showing up anymore lol)
Ahhh this is my first time participating in Art Fight!! :D I’ve wanted to participate for a while but haven’t felt confident enough with my art to feel like I could :,< does anyone have any tips or etiquette thingies? I’ve watched a few videos but I don’t want to make any mistakes! ^^; Thank you for the video this will help a lot especially with the ref sheets, I had no clue what to do for those!
I dont put that much pressure on myself when it comes to doing ref sheets since i really dont expect/need any attacks, im just here to draw some snazzy and cute ocs for this year :3 (my self-esteem when it comes to art is very low and i want to try drawing for others to maybe start comms in the future, so im using this for personal gain heheheh) But i will definitely use these tips for next artfight and outside of artfight!!
Hey sorry if this is a silly question but I'm new to artfight and was wondering about how big you make your icons size wise? They look really clean and I can't draw anything in the size I gave myself other than the character name
I planned to prep early this year, got too busy and overwhelmed, so now I’m here two days before and no ref sheets lol. I’ve uh never actually made a ref sheet in my life.
Totally off topic but what program did you use to animate your sona? It looks really good! I recently looked for an app or site where I could do something like that with my art and Google was no help at all.
I have a question, I participated in art fight when I was 13 (19 now), but I can’t recall if you can do like not original characters, for example movie characters or particular designs to those characters, not good at making original characters and stuff so kinda conflicted now😞
Unfortunately, you can't upload canon characters. You are allowed to post fan characters, as long as you give credit to the original inspiration. (It's written in more detail in rule 5 of upload rules on the ArtFight website)
question if it’s okay: do you think it’d be okay to not have many oc’s displayed for people to attack in artfight? i only made like 2 characters in my entire lifetime and i dunno if it’d be too boring yk? thank you for the video advice regardless :)
for sure!!! it just means you'll get a lot more art of those 2 :D you can have 1 character if you like as long as someone's there for people to revenge
AAAA I NEEDED THIS VIDEO!! Im planning to joining artfight this year since Im working on my speed and efficiency! I appreciate these tips, and I'll be sure to apply them >:)
Do you have to draw other people's OCs and have people draw your own OCs? Edit: could i join in later in the month? I sorta want to draw there but im not sure.
Yes, you can join at any point during the event. You choose which characters you want to draw from any listed on the site. Characters of people on your own team will earn you less points but that mainly matters if you care about it. You do not have to give art to the people who give you art. However, many players do try to reciprocate. There is no obligation to create a certain amount of art or attack a certain amount of people. Personally, I mainly use it for practicing my art.
I have so many character references to make and the stress it gonna trigger a burnout which is NOT what I want before Artfight. Also, I play Neopets. My life’s already a tab refreshing simulator.
oh wow i love the artwork! i try to draw profile pictures each year but my program always seems to make it blurry. what program are you using? like line art looks so niceee
I AM SO EXCITEDDDDDD YYAYYAY this is gonna be my third year of artfight but i do have a question : i just so happen to be using discord to host the images on my profile for customisation (😭), is there any alternative you'd recommend ?
THE TIMING OF THIS VIDEO! I just had a dream where the artfight teams were square vs oval 😭
Lol!
If only. I would pick oval
@@KroggelSame
HELP

"a head shoot obtains less points that drawing a full character"

The intro is ironic considering the fact that I’m beginning my preparation this afternoon.
Can you make a tutorial on how to decorate your profile? Ive been trying to figure it out but the codes old and annoying ( ‘ ^ `; )
for the icon/thumbnail they said it has to be 200x200 but when i draw it its to pixelated so how is yours so clean??
"Art fight for dummies"
Me whos a horrible procrastinator: AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
OMG ACTUALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS🙏🙏🙏IM GONNA BE PARTICIPATING SO THANK YOU SO MUCH
Oh shit I forgot to make my ref sheets
If you don’t mind me asking are you going to be doing revenge chains this year?
I'm going to revenge every attack I get if I can, but revenge chains are usually reserved for friends! if you attack me, I attack back and you attack again I'd try my best to attack again etc though!
@@gumiwyrms ok!
I’ve never done AF before but I want to!
this is my first artfight, and i'm so excited! i love how it falls on my birthday month :D
This'll be my third year and I've completely reworked my page and all my ref sheets so here's to hoping it goes well this year ;-;

I’m gonna try to attack you, your characters are so cute ! It’s my first year on art fight, I hope I have fun :)
I draw a fully shaded headshot and than a flat colored full body as a ref sheet, + some color blobs with text that says what it's for. And a little info on the oc, Can anyone tell me if this is good?
Always wanted to join a art fight! Could i join this one?/is there a way?
u just sign in and pick a team
If you can’t use Discord to put images on your profile, what are some alternatives that you can use? (I was wondering why the images weren’t showing up anymore lol)
Catbox is a file storage system you can use
I never re-do ref sheets lol, I use whatever flatcolor fullbody I got
so real i just have a disease of wanting fancy ref sheets LMAO
Honestly the biggest fear I have is that no one will attack me... I'm new, not going in with other friends, & a small artist...
What's ur user? I'm new too and would love to attack u :)))
Also it would be good to join art servers or servers with lots of artists on discord as they often have people in art fight who are new like u!!!

I participated last year for the first time, but I can’t find old badges :(
I HAVe to GET MY SHEETS DONE 😭
Gonna maybe join in one or two years after I get out of my art funk.
😥😥 but but procrastination
i was wondering how many ocs should i enter in? like do i have to have a lot or
You can enter anywhere from 0 (tho others won't be able to attack you so probably it wouldn't be as fun) to 100 OCs (the site's maximum capacity)
doing my 4th ref rn lol
i barely have any characters most of them are too simplified for animation or I don’t care about ☠️
gonna finally participate this year
