"Alright, just 3 more days. Now who shall I draw next?"
My brain:"how about a mass-attack instead!"
"OK, but how many-"
Brain:"11, plus one of your own!"

I already finished 4, probably can do 6, since half of them are very simple

Time, health and overscoping 
I really wanted to make another piece for the last week but it just feels forced so I'm instead working on updating my characters
They're 5 years overdue...

Alright, so my plans for this year were to make a mass attack for everyone in this thread. Unfortunately I got really lazy (or I lacked motivation, I dunno this year was noticeably more slow), so I left it halfway. I am gonna try continuing it later this year and have it ready for the next, but for now, here is what I got to make
I've kinda felt bad I've not really drawn anything for anyone in this thread, so I'd like to clarify that I've been thinking all the time about your characters but it just doesn't translate to the pencil, lol
(except Jelly cause I did draw Hope once)

Final attack of the year is a revenge against @uncut cradle.
Thank you for the art of Snapshot! Now TAKE THAT!!

it took a while, but i managed to finish my mass attack!
mellow sorrel
this one was very neutral ngl
like
last year there was a clear winner
this time the two were almost 50/50

mellow sorrel
oh yea
loud tapir
they purposefully hid the numbers this year
stoic crypt
well
there's probably still a good amount of difference
just on the smaller decimal
and that is also before score adjusting etc
forest hearth
every time I checked the percentages it was always around 50/50
very happy to see it's so tight
plain totem
Yeah, this year felt more even in terms of team participation
Like last year, it was clear that stardust had more people than seafoam

GGs everyone!! 
incredibly close race this time around you love to see it
Also, if you didn't read the newspost: the site is gonna be read-only from Sept 1 to Nov 1 so they can experiment with updates. You can still browse the site and bookmark stuff, but won't be able to upload new characters or images

You can now also vote on the first part of the 2026 Theme Poll! Since 2026 is gonna be the 10th anniversary of the site they're thinking of maybe having a rematch from a previous year. Here you can vote on whether to do a rematch in 2026, or to have a new theme like usual

This is my 4th loss in a row

gg team crystal 🎉
uncut cradle
I still have a 100% win rate 
mellow sorrel
2nd win
so yea i also have 100%
im personally conflicted
part of me is like ''hell yea, we won'' but also another part of me just doesnt really mind it
uncut cradle
I honestly just didn't remember at all this is supposed to be a "competition" in which "you win or lose", I forgot completely that there even were like results.
I just see art fight as a celebration of art and artists gifting eachother.
But speaking of, I'll spend my time until next year calculating the highest possible score I can have one artwork have, to guarantee a victory
dusty ermine
I could not be assed to try making good scores lmfao, I just want a badge, man 😭
worldly hinge
though
uncut cradle
yes that's why I'll be calculating all year long
dusty ermine
To the point some people note in their bios that they don't want their characters in mass attacks and point farms cuz it's soulless
worldly hinge
i mean i dunno if you want to get into animation or 3d modelling lol
and then animate 100 characters
and do a super complex background
dusty ermine
The thing is, you can only earn so much per category, so you can do the absolute bare minimum compared to someone else and still earn just as much or more from it
Why many discourage point farming
forest hearth
Super long, hand-drawn animations with 100 characters is pretty much how you get the highest score possible
I know there's some fuckery with how non-drawing art is rated that makes it generally worth less overall
dusty ermine
You gotta be a special kind of mentally insane for that lmfao

call me the artist of cuphead cause I'll go ink-well
forest hearth
You gotta be a special kind of mentally insane for that lmfao
Probably prepping the entire year for that stuff LMAO
dusty ermine
And you can get disqualified for that if they find out you have prepared it and then polished for posting just before
forest hearth
But yeah I also don't really gaf about the winning/losing aspect. I made art, I got art, it's cool

Unless you somehow post it so late into the contest it doesn't seem that sus

1 million commissions, day 1
dusty ermine
I would not be surprised if it's a considerable amount
I personally am too genuine for that LMAO
forest hearth
Seems like the type of stuff that can go under the radar really easily ye
stoic crypt
yeah i see a lot of people post mass attacks right in the end
forest hearth
I also cannot for the life of me imagine having to work on art fight attacks for more than a month of the year LMAO 😭
shits exhausting by itself already
forest hearth
It's difficult to check so
esp considering how brutally understaffed the site is rn
dusty ermine
If we could make it 1,5 months I think that would be the best time between rest and working for those of us who don't have much time
stoic crypt
wonder if they plan on doing it on different months too
dusty ermine
They have discussed 2 months potentially but they do not have the staff
I hope not
Would make the event lose the hype I feel
They discussed maybe a winter version which I worry will flop
stoic crypt
thinking of people who cannot be bothered at all in july
dusty ermine
Cuz of no summer vacation and generally just a less active season
stoic crypt
therefore missing it all the time
forest hearth
Half the AF participants are school-aged I feel
dusty ermine
Over half tbh
forest hearth
So winter AF would need to be way shorter or else it just dies
dusty ermine
Like a Huge majority are school kids
It is not worth spending time and energy on a winter AF when majority will not have time
They rely heavily on summer vacation
forest hearth
Make a second AF in May when as many people as possible are busy with exams 
mellow sorrel
I just really tend to care about the art itself
dusty ermine
The best way to better the event is simply to extend it slightly
forest hearth

For reference, if you look at the latest newspost on the website, the highest rated attack is around 13k points
dusty ermine
One month is a bit short, 2 months can be too long and overloading the staff, 1,5 months gives enough room to breathe
forest hearth
Worst part about the site being functional this year is there was no extension at the end 💔
uncut cradle
what if I do 3 million commissions each worth 13 points
forest hearth
ddos the site next year specifically to get an extension
uncut cradle
"commissions" --> artworks I mean

no notable announcements for now (the Very Special 10th Anniversary Theme will be probably announced in mid June as usual), but:
taking from the convo in #living-room , what's your ref sheet situation as of rn 👁️

Just answered your question Rahen

my situation rn is 2 unfinished refs for new characters + 6 species sheets for characters I want to eventually add + like 3 characters I wanted to add by the beginning of the fight but whose ref sheets haven't even started

I.hope theyre not keeping that tracing rule that caused so much drama
dusty ermine
I don't think it's honestly that serious, unless you're completely outing yourself like a clown then how are they even to enforce it in the first place
Nor do I think it works as people have been making a massive stink about
This type of drama happens every year when artfight is around the corner and people forget about it just the same every time 😭
uncut cradle
What's happening, sorry?
dusty ermine
Just some drama about a rule where they say that blatant tracing can make your work invalid
And people are conflating it with "oh so I can't use references now?"
Ancient drama within the online art space
Like I can see why they are trying to enforce it mostly cuz of how huge the act of copy pasting bases to inflate the numbers they earn on a team for example, but TOS wording can be difficult to get across
And people in general just can't read, water is wet
They say they've taken feedback tho so I am curious what they'll say now
In the end many of the mods in artfight are volunteers (at least used to be, who knows now) and there's many years of cleaning up the messy acts the previous owner did behind the scenes
forest hearth
I think it's a stupid rule because it already existed and no one even realized it. Which goes to show how absolutely unenforced/unenforceable it is
unfortunately the AF average userbase is young + tiktokked enough to have had kind of a dumb reaction to it all

There kinda was no userbase before 2020'ish in the first place
AF only blew up a couple years ago
Unfortunately dragging the most asinine people known to man into it
People kept yelling about the transformative works TOS that literally every site that deals with imagery Has to have on their TOS by law too
My brother in christ it's there so they are allowed to compress your photos so the site doesn't implode
