It's Almost July So 'tis The Season, And I Haven't Really Seen An Information Post Go Around Despite

It's almost July so 'tis the season, and I haven't really seen an information post go around despite Tumblr being full of artists and OCs, so for those not informed -

What is Art Fight?

copied from https://artfight.net/info/about , illustrated by Queijac

Art Fight is an annual art game that lasts for 1 month. [ Note: usually takes place during July ] Users can register on the site to join in. Each year, participants are split into two teams to which they are assigned randomly.

[ Illustration: a furry character colored blue and a human character colored red brandish art supplies at each other like weapons. ]

Players "attack" people of the opposing team by making art of original characters you choose belonging to members of the other team. You are free to use almost any style (see Attack Rules section of the rules).

Your team receives points based on what you create for the other team with each attack.

[ illustration: the blue furry character shows off a red drawing to the red human character, who is bending down to see it and looks excited. ]

The artist that receives the attack can then counter that attack by drawing the character belonging to the person who attacked them, or pay it forward by attacking a different person on the other team.

At the end of the month, the team with the greater score wins.

[ Illustration: the red human is sitting at a table with drawing tools in front of them thinking of a blue character. They are holding a pen and looking determined. ]

But remember, while there are point scores, the real goal is to celebrate characters with your fellow artists. Art Fight is about giving and recieving amazing art. ♥

If you're interested in joining up before this year's event period starts (or during it! You can join at any time) come and take part here ! The teams for this year are going to be revealed on the 23rd, so you have plenty of time to add your characters and scope out potential targets :3c

Extra info:

Digital art and traditional art are both accepted, including sculpture, fursuits, 3d modeling, animation, and more!

There is sometimes a bit of site downtime at the start of the event as traffic spikes. This is normal, is briefer each year, and will resolve after a bit. I recommend downloading a few ref sheets in advance if you plan on drawing from the first minute

Don't start art early! It's against the spirit of the thing to sneak in extra work time. If you're just doing it to give people art, you can always make it a normal, no-points-involved gift!

Character reference images and attacks created have to be non-sexual. The site has content filter guides and submission rules that go into more detail about what is and isn't allowed!

Don't have character references finished? Here's a quick guide on what's best to include at the minimum.

Damn, Girl! 🐟

Bringing to you my girl Tejeka, the heiress of Alternia. Rambling a bit under the cut vvv

Where to start. I love my girl! She's got three playlists, one a ship playlist with her ex and another her personal mixtape (songs she'd listen to rather her Vibe) and each are mostly organized by her taste. She's got that party girl vibe to her, always sneaking out to party hard or maybe hosting secret parties away from her hive. She's a big drinker, for better or worse, and its a bad habit. She's a hacker! Really just loves technology as a whole and loves breaking it apart and building it back together again with big pink glitter gifs and walls of movie scripts. She doesn't want all the trouble that comes with ruling the species (on account of the ruling empress sending her letters throughout her childhood, basically manipulating and gaslighting her, because ive always been interested in the two fuchsias of a universe having a more direct connection!) Her trollian is aniconicDebutante [AD], she's a Prince of Void derse dreamer, and has dreams about The Horrors up until she's awoken by an outside force on her moon (usually the last of her session to Wake Up so to speak)

This doesn't even cover all of the information i have for her but i think its fun to dive into it a little bit!
