I was very nervous to join art fight bc my art isn't expert level and is very simple but ive already been attacked 5 times.. im happy i did. I get to discover new artists and i love that (: and for anyone worried that you're art is 'bad' just dont!! I was worried that no one would attack me because my art isn't good or people would be turned down by my own attacks but everyone is simply sweet and if anyone complains then uh,, that really isn't in the spirit of art fight!!
Thank you so much for doing this, I did in fact join AND IM SO HAPPY I DID. I had a Mario+Rabbids Oc that I really wanted to draw but I procrastinated for like a week, yesterday I finally drew her and put down her story AND I WAS SO PROUD OF MYSELF. If it werent for art fight, I would be the person who wouldnt have drawn because they were scared of failure. Again thank you for addressing these
YAY!! This makes me happy, always nice to see people overcoming stuff and being proud of themselves. I hope you'll continue to have a great art fight this year :D
It's worth joining even if you do nothing during the event, because it's a way of supporting the people that are participating and acknowledging that AF is important to them. I had an experience just earlier with someone on my socials who responded to a request for a certain type of character like "I have this doodle from the other day you could use" and when I asked if they were going to register it(cause, hey, points, accounting, credits - the site makes it easy to track that stuff) they were like "nah bra you can just use it it's cc0 licensed, I just wanna see it". If you are actually participating in AF this reads as "idc gift art is gift art". Even if the character was a great design(which it wasn't) the point of the event is that it gives you a different space to interact in, one that promotes balanced interactions and collaboration, and that's an idea that's worth investing a little effort into.
You don't have to be before it, you can start NOW!! That's the nice thing about hobbies: You do them for fun, not to "become" something, that is something that just happens on the process. Also, many forms of art are allowed on Artfight!! I've seen people doing origami, collage, written stories, one could argue that even handmade small puppets from fabrics or paper ones are an interesting idea to make submissions to the site, it is not about what you are, but more on having fun choosing to make something yourself! Even if you think artfight puts too much pressure, you can start making any of the crafts of your choice on the side, and join next year, when you feel more prepared, ¡This is just a game, so whenever you can, and however you can, is all okay, really!! Art is always about doing, not "being". That always comes second❤
I joined artfight last year literally a couple months after I'd first began learning how to draw, and it was still very fun, not to mention insanely helpful for practice! You could start drawing now with artfight as vessel, and see where you can get to by the end of the month!:D
For the no oc's one: tbh i didnt rlly wanna make a reference sheet of all my ocs, since i dont even know them that well yet, so i recommend just drawing a silly character (mine is literally called chester the asshole) and just posting that so people have something to attack. i can literally be a silly blob with eyes on it. whatever. or, you could just put your pfp as your oc (unless u have a pre-existing media as your profile then dont). so yeah, just add whatever, or dont, no one's forcing u :P
I feel like people get way too in their own heads about it… Which is fair!! But people, this site is a site that LOVES OCs!! People are on here because they ALSO love OCs!! Meaning people will definitely love yours!!!!! And if you don’t have any but still wanna participate, just make an account!! Then at the very least you can just see what other people are doing!!
Thank you so much for making this! Last year, 2023, I was so excited to join Art Fight! I had just started out with digital art for the half of that year, after having forever been a traditional artist. When Art Fight actually started, though, it was really intimidating. I didn’t feel confident with my art and I was worried I would disappoint rather than excite others (unfortunately I am an anxious people pleaser), which I even knew at the time didn’t matter to people.. because it never mattered to me! I love getting art of my characters, doesn’t matter the level you think you’re at! It ate away at me that I didn’t participate, despite adding a couple of my characters with minimal effort. Around the end I stopped looking at the website altogether and regretted it all. Around one year later, I checked back in to the website since ArtFight was coming up in a couple months. Someone attacked me on the last day last year! I was overjoyed! They had doodled me and a bunch of other characters on their paper, and it is so cute and made my whole day. It washed away my fears lol! I feel more confident now. I’ve been practicing and expanding my portfolio and I just kicked art block right out the door! I was so ready compared to last year! 🩶✨ I still had some anxieties, but that’s okay. Now I know for sure, I didn’t even need the “practice”.. in fact, Art Fight IS the practice! Plus it’s enjoyable, and it’s not competitive in any way. The community is incredibly grateful, excited, and overall having a good time! Some of my friends and members of my Discord have had the same anxieties I had last year, but thankfully with some confidence boosts, a lot of them have decided to join in. So long as you’re putting in even minimal effort to draw someone’s character legibly.. it’s worth something! Both to them, to your team, and even for yourself! It just feels good knowing I can make others happy, whether or not I view my art as bad. I also recommend taking breaks if you absolutely need it, or try something new, or alter between sketches and full art and other art styles. I know the feeling! It’s really daunting, super intimidating, but WORTH IT!🖤 plus the teams are super cool every single time, you get free art of your character(s), you can make others happy + get experience.. it just makes sense.✨ Sorry for the bit of rambling. Don’t tear yourself down. You are worth it and we’re proud of you regardless of if you join or not! There’s always next year🩵!! anyways go Team Seafoam💪🎉🎉🌊🪸🐠!! GOOD LUCK STARDUST! 💫🌌🪐💜💜!!
I don’t have any reference sheets for my OCs so I’m working myself on all of those while I have the time so I’m probably going to end up spending all of July working on those instead of doing art-fight. However these videos really inspired me to do that much.
awesome video!!! i made a similar video trying to motivate users to realize it's really not that scary, but i still get comments of people worried about xyz thing... i hope this helps motivate more people!!! also random side note- oh my god im not crazy someone else is also unsure about if you're allowed to participate without OCs XD i got comments confused on me mentioning that, and i SWEAR the TOS says you can, but i couldn't find it??? Oh well
Yesss!! Working together to put the people at ease 🫡 I also got so many comments of people being worried about xyz thing, and it got kinda tiring responding to the same question in different ways.
well its my 2nd day of art fight and i had fun until i got attacked for the first time and realized someone could better show the personality and even the build of the face of my oc than i and now im left staring at the attack thinking if its worth going foreward
don't be discouraged!! just take it as inspiration for yourself, and that you have more room to grow as an artist (and that's ok). in art you're always learning even if you're a "master" artist. using someone elses art to beat urself up isn't healthy, especially since no two artists' journeys and skillsets are the same. it's one thing to stop if ur busy or not having fun anymore, but this doesn't have to be a reason. also, this is all for fun :) you got this!
Hey, sometimes there are people who can be better than you and its ok, just know that people WILL Appreciate your work, I have an art fight friend that I met on Pony Town and they are for sure a bit better than me, but again this IS a game, as long as you enjoy and have fun during art fight you will be ok. AND I KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE YOU WILL ATTACK WILL LOVE THE ART YOU DO, DONT BEAT YOURSELF UP FOR IT
Just remember that no matter how much you put out, you will probably not get the same energy back. I already put out 2 and I have more on the way and I only got one attack so far. Only one.
ty for this video!! i was confused about how it works and some details, i would love to join but it said OLDER than 13 (or i jusr misread) and im only 13 :P still, tysm! p.s: i really like your character!!
I can't use my left hand (broken trapezium), I'm a new artist, I haven't made any OCs yet, colored pencils are my medium, and I'm still joining today "Just do it"
Hello! This is my first year participating in ArtFight. My art style is honestly not very beautiful, but I have imagination and animating skills, and I like to read characters' lore and create art based on it!! In this game I've created 10 animated attacks (each with it's own small plot)!! Art Fight is also very good art block remedy, I literally don't run out of ideas!!!)) receiving art of oc's is also very nice, no matter what quality it is, you just look at it and recognize your creations in other's styles and it's just so cool (it's possible to participate with no characters, I saw "I didn't brought any oc's I'm here to ATTACK!" profile)
I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO YET BUT DON'T be like me!! I'm doing art fight for the first time this year because I finally felt "ready" like my skill level was "finally" good enough, and I have felt nothing but regret for staying out all these years. Think: would you be happy if ANYONE attacked you, even if it was MSPaint scribbles that clearly had genuine thought and heart put into them?? Yes?? Then just do it!! Even if you're the MSPaint scribbler!! It will also help your art improve!! Don't be like me, looking back on so many wasted years standing on the sidelines, so much fun I could have had, so many potential friendships I could have made, all because I was so scared that I wasn't "good enough." You ARE good enough, people will LOVE whatever you make, and if they don't, screw them. Just have fun.
I wasn’t going to do art fight Because I’m still practicing with drawing but I did and I’ve drawn 4 characters so far and I am happy with them, i am going to draw lots more. ( I have 65 bookmarked characters and can’t chose who to draw )
There is an option to sort if ya didnt notice, since you joined late I presume, Art fight will sort ya into either one. BUT you can switch if you'd like
Thank you for the encouragement! I just submitted my first attack and it is your fault! :) (jokes on you I am still too scared to draw so it was a crochet plush lmao)
i was going to join but the site is so terrible i got tired of it before it even started and i don't mean it's too hard to navigate, it's the site logging me out when i'm done with the character bios
I JOINED IT I'M SO HAPPY THE SITE HAS ALREADY GONE DOWN FOUR TIMES FOR ME :DD
Your artfight handle >:3 NOW!
LOL SAME DUDE THE SIGHT WOULDNT LET ME JOIN FOR THE FIRST DAY
@@Randy_Racc00n uh... CJ-Draws Ig
@@RabbidsFan-d5o yea
uhm I got told it’d be down for the first few days but i was fine 💀 And im on an old ipad for all my art. Made an attack on the first day even

I've also seen people who don't want to upload their OCs instead upload photo refs of their pets or ask people to draw their favorite species, etc.
Yep, got a friend who's got their pets as characters
Thank you so much for doing this, I did in fact join AND IM SO HAPPY I DID.

I have like over 20 bookmarks of characters cause theres so many cool oc's and characters (im gonna procrastinate soo much lol)
My bookmarks are starting to expand farther than I can handle
😭😭😭😭😭
i want to join because it seems fun but im not even an artist 💀💀
You don't have to be before it, you can start NOW!!

fun fact!! i became an artist because i started doing random online art events when i was 8 :> come and join!!! this is a good place to start
I joined artfight last year literally a couple months after I'd first began learning how to draw, and it was still very fun, not to mention insanely helpful for practice! You could start drawing now with artfight as vessel, and see where you can get to by the end of the month!:D
if you want to draw then you should try art
NOW! ⚡️⚡️👨🎨⚡️⚡️
For the no oc's one: tbh i didnt rlly wanna make a reference sheet of all my ocs, since i dont even know them that well yet, so i recommend just drawing a silly character (mine is literally called chester the asshole) and just posting that so people have something to attack. i can literally be a silly blob with eyes on it. whatever. or, you could just put your pfp as your oc (unless u have a pre-existing media as your profile then dont). so yeah, just add whatever, or dont, no one's forcing u :P
4:40 ooooooo my question! :D
I didn't know that you can upload a "design me" character, sounds interesting!

Damn I didn't think of that, man... I guess you can use this as a learning opportunity within your own art if you're able.
don't be discouraged!! just take it as inspiration for yourself, and that you have more room to grow as an artist (and that's ok). in art you're always learning even if you're a "master" artist. using someone elses art to beat urself up isn't healthy, especially since no two artists' journeys and skillsets are the same. it's one thing to stop if ur busy or not having fun anymore, but this doesn't have to be a reason. also, this is all for fun :) you got this!

Does this hypothetically mean i can convert as many OCs as i want into roblox avatars and not be vaporized by everybody?
Unfortunately using the character creator in games is against the rules when it comes to attacks!
Just remember that no matter how much you put out, you will probably not get the same energy back. I already put out 2 and I have more on the way and I only got one attack so far. Only one.
Most people need a few days to notice and revenge, remember it has only been 3 days.
Im sure you’ll get more attacks!! It really depends on a lot of factors though.
Same here dude, I only had an attack because I made a friend on Pony Town, and besides that, I got nothin else(Probably there is no colors LOL)
splatoon background spotted ,,,,
I love Splatoon mehehehe

so i just created an account and i forgot my password (even tho i created it 2day) and it wont let me reset the damm password idfk what 2 do
but what if you dont have motivation sometimes and would feel like youre just there to get art of your characters without giving back,,
Thank you for the encouragement! I just submitted my first attack and it is your fault! :)
(jokes on you I am still too scared to draw so it was a crochet plush lmao)
