Hello! July is a very special month for the art community because this month is ArtFight!
What is ArtFight?
Banner and badges made by: krakenpho
The name is pretty self-explanatory, it's where you battle but with art! More specifically artists are on two opposing teams and they draw each other's original characters. You get points depending on what was drawn (ie. bust, full body, colored, not colored, etc) and how it was created. Some people do paintings, digital art, animations, sculpture, etc. You can do whatever you want as long it's made by you and can be submitted and scored!
When an attack happens you have the option to revenge and attack that person back! People usually do so out of courtesy, but you don't have to. Sometimes revenge chains happen where two artists battle it out!
There are even situations where an artist can mass attack another artist by drawing their character multiple times (ie. the worm incident of 2019) or draw all their characters in one piece. These attacks are rare as they take a lot of effort and usually happen at the end of the month.
Every year the teams change, last year was Vampire vs. Werewolf and this year is...
Seafoam Vs Stardust!
I'm on team Stardust, and as of right now we are currently in the lead by 300,00+ points (The points for both teams are in the tens of millions! That means people have submitted so much artwork since July 1, 2024!)
I have many bookmarked characters I want to draw, but this week has been very low energy. So I've only drawn one attack so far (I was working on another one, but the creator of the character had to archive characters to catch up on revenge.)
This is my first attack on an artist named Bamboobird (on the right)!
I wanted to focus on attacking beginner artists, and helping them feel inspired! Beginner artists are given a hard time online about the quality of their art and are often bullied. I believe it's my responsibility as a creator to make sure they continue practicing and loving art!
Her name is Lexa! As far as I know, she doesn't have a backstory but I think her design is cute!
The first week of Artfight is officially over, I hope I can get some motivation back to attack other artists and get through my bookmarks! If you would like to check out Artfight you should follow me, d00medarts on the site!
Anyway, see you guys next time where I'll probably have updates on my attacks and talk about my comic some more!
Sephora, Out ❤
