ArtFight Tutorial/Overview
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- ArtFight is coming up and I needed something to make, last year I would look up tutorials and there wouldn't be much, oftentimes they would be chopped up into several smaller videos for complete accuracy. So here's my condensed take on this event. For more tips, read the comments, there's some good advice there.
Yes, I know my audio sounds janky as all hell, but like when has it ever not? I use my phone to record it and Olive does this weird thing of adding random squeaks that I don't know how to get rid of. It was recorded on different days and my brain wasn't functioning at 100% for the script writing portion.
In terms of narration, I did arguably worse than my Fire Alpaca Tutorial(even though it needs to be updated). In terms of editing, I think I did a lot better considering I have my sketchy deer guy at the bottom.
Chapters:
0:00 Intro
0:29 Basic Info
3:17 Editing Your Account
7:06 Submitting Characters
11:15 Event Prep/Submitting Attacks
13:49 Ratings
17:50 Outro
For the sake of time I couldn't go back and include some of this stuff:
1. Official merch includes stickers and magnets if you were curious.
2. According to the comments, the username can be changed twice in a year unless you donate. (Someone said that after January 1st, you can get another username change?)
3. I believe that you can only add one custom link in the social media links, but you CAN include links in the textboxes.
4. Clearing your subscriptions does not unfollow anyone, it simply clears your notifications.
5. If you add a private description to mass attacks, (I believe) the only person who sees it will be the owner of the first character you list.
6. Selecting a random character or user in the browse menu may conform to your filter preferences, but I do NOT know this for sure. You may have seen the video zoom in while I went over the browse section, it was intentional because the character I got had gore as a main feature of its design.
7. According to the comments, there IS a search function, but it's for donors only. RIP to my fellow broke artists.
(This is mostly for any overthinkers)

I just want to call myself out here for a second since I don’t want to see anybody asking why a part of the video is blurred:
My immature brain somehow came to the conclusion that it was okay to use other people’s characters as examples without their permission. AND for one of the worst parts of the video in my opinion. I could’ve very easily just used my own characters for that example to show you the real limits of that description text box.
I’ve already reached out and apologized to the people featured here and have respected their choices, I cannot believe it’s taken me this long to do that. Don’t be like me.
TIP: if you know someone’s username on the site and want to see them specifically- if you go to your profile, click the web url, delete your user on the url and put the name of the person you’re searching for their page will pop up
😭 That's so smart
BIG BRAIN
thats just what I do
That's actually genius
Omg thank you been trying to figure out how to look for specific people
also another thing!! you do NOT need to have the best art skills ever to participate!! everyone is welcome no matter your skill level, and most people simply love being attacked by anybody >3
Oh good. I had been stressing that maybe i shouldnt join after my 2 year art break ( i got really angsty about AI )
As someone who has never joined artfight before but was really curious, this was so helpful!!
Wonderful video :D
I'm so glad it was helpful! I hope you have a wonderful first experience!!!
I completely forgot about ArtFight so this video was a great reminder to sign up, and had some very useful tips for starting out as well, ty!
I'm glad it helped!!! Have fun with your first Artfight!!
notes for new artfighters:
1. You don't have to revenge if you can't or don't want to, it is generally a nice thing to do but not necessary, so don't worry if you get burnt out midway and can't return the attacks. If you want to though, you can always do it next year or during the off season!
2. Archived vs Hidden: Both of these make it so that players can't see the character on the page, but they have different functions (this was super confusing to me the first time lmao)
- archived characters: You can only have 100 characters on your page, so archiving them gets rid of all the info + images on the character profile but keeps the name and filters (other users can still see the page if it was linked in an attack)
- hidden characters: The character is hidden from your page and no one can see it except for you (The character still counts to your 100 char limit, but images + information is still preserved on the character's page)
3. LISTEN TO THE VIDEO!! JOIN THE DISCORD!! You don't even need to be active or anything, but that is where most of the announcements are made, as well as site status updates. You can ask mods about attacks and how they should be categorized during artfight, and there are minigames during the off season + you can talk to other artfighters if you want to in general chats + show off your art in the art channels.
4. Don't stress about the quality of your attacks too much, there are options for even sketches and rough colors to be submitted, and most people appreciate any art they get
5. Some people do equal attacks which is when they will revenge your attack with the type/amount of effort put into it (e.g. full body for full body, sketch for sketch, etc)
6. Mass attacks can only be directed to one person but can have OCs belonging to multiple people. Also if I'm not wrong, the person who sees the private description is the person who is the main receiver of the attack (ie who you put in the "to:" part of your submission), not necessarily the owner of the first character you list
happy artfight!
I want to start artfight, but tbh the character creation part is stressing me out bc i'm not that good at drawing fullbodies for references. Would it be fine to just draw a halfbody/bust and describe the rest in the description?
@@Someone-km3mx pretty sure that would be perfectly fine! (the fullbodies make it harder for people to get details wrong, but describing specific things about the character work just as well)
Also if you have art of your character from other people, you could also use that as a reference image too (there are options for crediting people on site and off site) :D
@@nyankonyann4271 thanks! Have a great artfight!
Sooo, I am supposed to draw a fight scene including my oponent's oc fighting my oc or is it about "out-arting" the competition by drawing their oc better than they can draw your's?
@@krsmanjovanovic8607The competitive aspects are less on who draws better or worse between two people, and more on how many points an individual can contribute to a team. It's just an incentive for artists to participate in trading art. You draw whatever you and the target wants! (ie I draw someone's sona reading a book and they 'attack' back with my sona out on a stroll)
Tiny reminder you can Team swap only 2 times! But I think that switching to spectator it's any time and how many times you want
As someone who googled up and implusively joined Artfight approxiamately 24.7 seconds into this video, this is really helpful!! wishing you luck this year!
Same here dude 😭 I haven't drawn in years but I've decided to join and have 0 OCs and got no idea how to use the site
@@maddisonkelso6425SAME! I'm planning on making a few ocs and signing up for it soon
Uhh I might be worrying too much about this but I wanted to clarify some stuff:
The part where I talk about character descriptions, DON'T take it too seriously. The examples I showed aren't even what I would consider an overwhelmingly long description. I'm scared that I may not have worded it in the best way(again, bad script).
Also(according to comments) there is a search function! It's just for donors, but someone said that if you know someone's username you can just replace the name part of your url with theirs.
If I missed anything or got something wrong please let me know!
Also: artfight.net/~Luuchay
what an awesome video!! extremely helpful, although i think i may end up waiting for the 2024 season to start lol, and you worded that part just fine! we get what you meant :) well done!
this is a really nice video! Ive been doing artfight since 2018 and this covers it all very well- one thing for anyone reding this, know that the website is always (as tradition dictates) going to be incredibly glitchy to use for the first week or so due to overload. Saving a few references before the artfight actually starts is a good way to make sure you actually get to play!
also love your little avatar :)
EDIT: Also, whats your artfight user? If you're playing this year of course
@@chaiiskiesThank you!! I included a link to my account on the original comment :D
(Unless it doesn't work or you mean something else?)
Trying artfight for the first time, this video helps a lot.
@@luu_chay ALSO HAPPY ARTFIGHT! What team are you on? (I don't do offsite links so I can't check myself)
This is perfect, I wish I had this video when I first started. You explain everything so clearly pdshjd, good luck this year!!
Thank you so much!!! That means a lot! Good luck to you too!!!
i love how expressive and experimental you can be in artfight! there's limitless ocs you can draw including humans, anthros, objects etc, and i find it really good for practising drawing things you haven't before. and best of all, you're making art for someone else!
"It's better to not include too much in your description-"
Me, who already ended up writing a long long description for my characters : Oh no-
O-O;
i wouldnt worry about it :3 i personally ONLY draw characters if they have a description lmao
Ikr its really nice and helpful to make sure you do the character justice
About team switching: I have barely participated but I remember this from 2023. There's a limit of how much you can switch teams, but this has a workaround. You should keep an eye on the event long before it starts (maybe like a week) and they'll let you pick any team you want before it begins. This is to reduce site traffic on opening day and a great opportunity to avoid the stress of having to switch if you don't like the team you're assigned
Thank you sm for this video! I'm signing up for Art Fight for the first time ever with some friends (who also are newbies :P) and I'm excited to participate! (And a lil nervous as well xD)
Good luck with your first Artfight!!!! I have some friends who are also participating for the first time and it's been so fun having other people equally hyped up!
Excellent video!! Lets fight to our fullest this year!
Yessir!!
This video is super well made and informative!!!
I participated in artfight last year and had a rough start figuring out all the basics and other things on the website.. but if I had this video back then it would have been a breeze haha!
As artfight approaches, I definitely think this was a good refresher for me! Thank you so much for making this video
OMG, THIS VIDEO WAS SO HELPFUL!!!
This is gonna be my first year participating in an Art fight!!! So I need to Quickly figure out everything 😅
I've considered doing art fight this year, but i have REALLY bad art block lol
Thanks for teaching me how it works!
honestly i had that too earlier this month. but i find that artfight is the one time of the year where my art block doesn't show up, just because of how many characters and ideas i have for drawing. and the playfulness + encouraging aspect of the event really helps with getting out of a funk! i def recommend even doing one attack during artfight because it'll likely lead to another, and then more personal art in the future.
even though this is my third year
YOUR VOICE IS SO CALMING OMG i could listen to it all day 😭✨
I saw that they realised their teams early, so I'm VERY hyped to participate! This guide is super helpful for beginners like me. I'm very thankful. :D
Thank you so much for this video!! It's my first year joining and I'm so excited! :D
Oh my gosh thank you so much!!! I'm new to artfight and been struggling on how it works. This video helped a lot! Thanks again :D
This is such a great video! I'm definitely sending this to friends I want to recruit for Artfight.
Also, you mentioning the Artfight themes reminds me of something I've been doing. For these last few years, I like to make a new outfit for my fursona based on the team I join. I've been doing this since Steampunk vs. Cyberpunk (I have been around since Sugar vs. Spice) It's a really fun way to incorporate the theme into my characters even if they don't directly correlate with the theme. I would love to hear about what other people do and if they do anything similar.
:0 Wait that's such a cool idea!!
I've wanted to join artfught for a couple of years now but it was super overwhelming, this video is very helpful to kind of minimize that stress!
Although I’ve known about artfight for years, this will be my first actual time participating. I genuinely thought I knew everything already, but still decided to give this video a watch aaaaand it proved me WRONG. Thanks so much for making this! It was very knowledgeable!
This is my fourth year joining but this was fun to watch as a background podcast regardless. Your voice is super chill ^^
the only actual guide on here, thank you so much! i’ve been thinking about joining artfight for a long while but i’ve been intimidated for a long time T-T
This was extremely helpful! I'm doing my first ArtFight this year and I now feel so much less clueless about it, thank you for making this video!
I will note that there IS a search function, but you have to donate a certain amount of times! But overall, using the bookmark option is easier :))
TYSM I REALLY NEEDED THIS TUTORIAL💖💖💖, I was planning to join art fight this year bc of my friends ganna also participate but I didn’t know how to do anything but now I am sort of ready for this year art fight 💖💖💖💖
Thanks so much for making this! This is my first Artfight and your video was really helpful and informative!
this sounds really fun! thank you for explaining everything
i might try to join next year. I need to practice more and make some good character references
No becuz this tutorial is so good, I found out how to adjust a lot of things on art fight but I feel like this tutorial will be amazing for new participants this year
As an art fighter who joined last year, this vid really helps newcomers :D
(And some bits helped me too!)
This is gonna be my first time participating in art fight and I'm sooo glad RUclips recommended this video
Thank you for this tutorial 👏🏻👏🏻 This is my first year joining art fight and tbh I was a little overwhelmed with everything 😅 The comments on this video are also extremely helpful
tysm for this!! i'm doing artfight this year, and I'm so excited!!
omg this video is so good cause i was terrified of getting started on my artfight accout. Thank you for getting me out of the anxiety!! I can't wait to fight for the first time!!! :D
Tysm for making this!❤ I had a few questions that were answered here so that really helps! I’m planning to join this year and I was having trouble finding a good tutorial so again ty❤
I've never even knew this existed till a few day ago, I'm gonna join
this helped so so so so muchhhh. i was so confused by the pages they provided, and since its my first time joining artfight, i was having a hard time scrolling around. so thank you =]
I love art fight so much! Good luck this year!
Let's go werewolves! 🐺
This year is a lot of firsts for me so I'm watching this to prep for art first for my first time
I had never heard of this event ! Seems fun, I might try it, thank you so much for the tutorial !
Very well put together video!! :D I’m a pretty seasoned Art Fight veteran but I still love to watch these videos right before the event starts
frfr. So am I.
wished there was a video like this when i joined lmao. (hi, btw)
@@OneSimpleHelloOMGGG YOU FOUND ME IN THE WILD
@@cazosky5528 I DID LMAO
ive been playing since 2018 and gotta say i think this is a great turotial! goes over all of the main features and all the information. hope it helps out new players! :D
This was really well made and I'm likely to join my first art fight because of it, thanks!
This is gonna be my first art fight year I’m so excited
this is a very good guide for those who may be new to artfight !!
I wanted to note a couple of things, although it's understandable that you couldn't include them since they're attack based: Firstly, your attack can only target one user - while your attack can include ocs from many people on either or both teams, you can only target it at one person! n secondly, from what I remember, there is a 100 character cap on attacks, for anyone who wants to go a little silly crazy and draw a bunch of ocs. I don't know if youd be able to contact the mods to add more, or something, but 100 is a biiiiig number so I don't expect most users to be hitting it, haha.
Thank you so much for the information! I've thought about joining art fight, first hearing from it via a friend of my sister who is a very talented artist. I am currently working with my skills, and will surely be joining the battle next time it comes around.
this is really helpful. i was just curious about this “artfight” thingy. also… how is ur channel so UNDERRATED bruhhh ur amazinggg
I may have just found your channel but I absolutely subscribing and excited to see your videos, this videos very helpful, I joined art fight like 3 years ago and I was sooo lost and learned as I went along and it’s actually really hard to keep track of the book marks so I use external VizRef on my iPad or photos on my phone to keep them organized, I found out about art fight from Olivecow videos and was amazed by how many artist drew for art fight and it’s not going to mean you get revenge art it’ll take time and reputation just having fun and knowing it takes time ot actually draw them , and time to upload. (Pardon the paragraph I just get excited about art fight)
TYSM! This is my first year and I need a lot of explanations. This really helps.
I’m hyped af for this
THANK YOU!!
This is going to be my first artfight and I found not many helpful videos about it 😅😅
This is ver helpful!
*very
This is so helpful and it'll be my first year participating
:0 Good luck with your first year!!!
@@luu_chay Thank you!
THANK YOU !! I planned on joining art fight last year, but it just was so confusing and I didn’t exactly have enough time to do it
This definitely helps though!!
I've just made an account and am making my first character page so this was a big help!
Great breakdown!
A really solid explaination !! I believe you can only change teams twice btw (enough to change and then go back if you regret) :D
This was very helpful thank you so much.
This video is super helpful! This year is the first time that Im gonna participate in an artfight!
I technically joined last year but I didnt draw anything
AAAAAA AAA I'M SCREAMING I'M SO EXCITED, COMPLETION JUST MAKES ME SO SO INSPIRED TO DRAW AGAUJDHFJDIHDB I WANT IT T9 BE JULY ALREADY ONGOMGOGKGKJSUS I LOVE ARTFIGHT SO MUCH FR
Love this video! Really motivates to master up some courage and join :>
Do it >:D
It's super fun!!
I'm considering doing art fight this year so thanks for this video! :3
How have I never heard of this
Sounds cool is all
I've been watching Artfight vids for the last 16 Hours.
I'll definitely join next year.
I have no time to make Ref Sheets. Within a Week. ToT
You don't have to make complete reference sheets!You can just post a bust/head shot or any drawing you already have of your oc!
Edit:Also you can join during the event/in July
@@unknwn5386 ^^^^^
I was gonna join this year, but i found that I didn't have the time. This would be helpful for next time! Thanks!
(Next year wouls actually be my first time participating)
I wanna try art fight maybe next year or sometime after so this is quite helpful!
I have huge anxiety about anything so srrsly the talk through of it is appreciated! (I am also bad at thanking lol)
I always try to include everything important in descriptions but always end up writing a lot (mostly for profile and permissios) I can't narrow it down more no matter how much I try ;-; I really hope people don't skip me cuz of it.. I usually just copy the images for reference and lower the opacity. Idk why you'd keep scrolling on the character page, I guess if you don't memorize and know what you want to draw the character doing? Idk that's the weirdest part of the video pff, on 4th year now hehe can't wait
12:00 also you get a search option for users or something like that if you become a supporter or something like that
Lol fair. It's probably pretty niche to scroll back and forth but I know the tutorials that I watched last year mentioned something similar.
LETSGO SONIC MUSICC YOU ALREADY KNOW IT THE MUSIC IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ah I wish I could join artfight this year, I'm trying to stay focussed on my own stuff this summer so I'll def look back at this tutorial next year :))
thanks! I never new anything about art fight. I never knew how it worked or why people were drawing and stuff and attacking people lol. now i really wanna do it!! not sure if i have enough motivation buttttt
This sounds so fun! I might join if I can join late, I want to do something fun before entering school again.
newbie here, glad this was recommended to me! Would be a good idea to make and attack tutorial once the event starts. 🤔
thanks for this vid! my friends were all talking about it and i was very confused
thanks! i think I’ll do art fight next time and this was helpful
Only about a minute in and this sound so cool I wanna join
This video was great! I'm gonna do artfight this year
Didn't even know what artfight is
But I will definitely join it
It seems so much fun:)
Thankyou so much
this showed up perfectly i was looking over it, and it got me confused and I already had an account but i wasn't sure on how to choose teams and such
This is the first time that I heard about art fight since one of my friends just told me that they joined it so I searched on RUclips after they told me about it to get some more info about it
i've participated in art fight every year for the last 6 years but i clicked this anyways 💀-- it's crazy how much the event keeps growing every year. hope everyone has fun and for anyone participating that happens to see this, let me know if you're picking/on team werewolf LOL and i'll put you on my radar for attacks hehehe
I’m excited because this is my first time ^^
Omg, tysm I just found out abt artfight and you helped me a ton
ty! since it has already started, i will just spectat but thx for tut!
It's too much of a time crunch for me to draw up refs for my OCs and join this year, but I'll be joining next year for sure!
Super helpfull! I did artfight last (bloom team slay) year but needed to brush up.
I haven’t even been able to participate because I don’t know what’s going on 😭I am sad about it but next year I’m making sure I know what to do!!!
Thanks for the vid :D
i won't be participating (and never will lol), but this is really cool to hear about. thanks, and now i know what the people i'm following were talking about :]
ART FIGHT YAY THANK YOU
was wanting to sign up for artfight but wasnt sure about it before
but now i just made an account!!
For the ppl who are participating, hope yall have fun this year!! this will be my second year on AF :3
This year will be my first time in AF, And this video is super super helpful!! i hope i can find your user page to possibly send you some art when AF starts!!💕💕
5:20 you can get more username changes by donating to the website, and every year you get a free one on january 1st, although i think this was implemented only a year or two ago (have 3, been on the site since 2018, haven't changed before). you also have a free username change when you first sign up
Ooh I didn't know about the January one but the donating one I only saw after everything was already recorded... Thank you!!
@@luu_chay yeah, no problem!!
Good video!
I was appart of artfight in 2019 amd now that I see this imma do it again
Hey guys, just so you know, nowdays there is a limit on how much you can swap teams! I don't know when this changed but it's mentioned when you pick your team on the site. This is my first year so I'm trying to pay as much atention as possible to EVERYTHING. Have fun in Art Fight this and every other following year!
