The Official Art Fight 2014!
- Hey guys! So, you may have seen this going around on dA or if you're active Furry Paws, it's a whole event there. I've consulted with the developers, coders and other moderators to make sure we can handle an even bigger user base, and spread to CS. Seems that we can, so I'm here to officially announce the Art Fight for 2014! This will work primarily as a FAQ, and I will do my best to answer any questions you may have as an official moderator for the .
So, what is Art Fight?
- Art Fight is a 2 week event, that occurs every summer. It involves artists from Furry-Paws, deviantART, FurAffinity and other communities. There are two teams and players from one team "attack" players from the other using pieces of art. It is meant to be used as a way to practice and improve your art, in a fun and competitive manner.
Art Fight originated on Furry-Paws, started by a user named Falx. This will be the 5th annual art fight and the first year of official "outside of FP" invitations.
- This year the sign-ups will be done by registering to the Art Fight website, which you can find here. Sign ups are currently open, however you will not be assigned a team yet! Some last minute bugs are being chased out, and we're making sure the site if fully functional for so you can have fun without encountering any problems!
- Yes, there are two teams this year! They are ZOMBIES VS. HUNTERS! And again this will be done all via the website!! As mentioned before, you will not be assigned a team until the officially starts. The theme/teams are decided on a community vote that takes place early summer.
- Basically you "attack" other players with art. You will upload your characters onto the site for other users to draw, and you will draw art for other people's characters. You are not required to return an attack although, it's polite of you to do so. You earn points for each attack, which add to your own total and your team total. Whichever team has the most points at the end of the fight wins!
- Each attack you make will give you a certain amount of points. The person receiving the points will then be able to rate the art. Better ratings will get you more points and the other player's battle ratio is also taken into account. Community members also are able to rate your attack, which alters point values as well.
- We're scheduled to start at some point tonight (August 2nd), however the last tweaks are still being made so don't be surprised if we don't start for another day or two. This time will give you a chance to set up your profile, get your characters updated and get ready.
- This used to be a Furry-Paws only event, however it has been opened up to other communities. Last year, players linked the website on places such as dA and the news spread rapidly. While the Art Fight was originally created for FP members the new site has changed this. We have users from deviantArt, FurAffinity, Furry Paws, Eagle Valley Sim, and hopefully CS! We expect you to be on your best behavior regarding other community members!
