We do it everyday here.

I guess so
Last year I did it for the first time and I was honestly surprised at how productive it made me

>>6712654
yeah, still don't have any OC though

>>6712654
>vampire vs werewolf
Kek, what 15-year old was in charfe of this. But I will, probably, I wanted to try it this year.

>>6713197
To be fair most people don't give a single fuck about the theme.

>>6713199
True.

>>6712654
is AI allowed?

>>6713203
Yes

>>6712654
Only a little bit
Didnt have any fun last year. Guess ive out grown it a bit

>>6713203
>AI
can it even work? Don't you need to feed it a lot of art of the character and that's why it only works with popular ones?

>>6713203
It forbidden.

>>6713203
it seems a majority of artists get pissy about it so perhaps don't use it

I feel like team werewolf will win this year for the fact there's such a large amount of furries who join in every year

post your accounts!

>>6713197
Wait, was that the theme they settled on? What about all the others that were way better?

>>6712654
yeah
making my ocs right now
>>6713579
sorry bro, gonna have to wait for something less cringe next year

>>6713630
That reminds me, I should probably update my OCs already there with their newer pics and designs..

>>6712654
>https://artfight.net
Oh god thank you so much for reminding me, I was so disappointed when I missed it last year.
Gotta make an OC before July 1st

>>6712654
>furries, devianturds, underage kids, tumblrtroons, SFW only
Looking at this, I don't think this is for me.

>>6714032
Same thing could be said about any site, just avoid them and you're fine

>>6712654
I found out about this last year and still can't believe people willingly participate in it.

>>6714752
>people drawing for fun is a foreign concept for an /ic/ crab
lmao

>>6714752
I got extremely great art when I was much worse than I am now and now I chase that high again

I want to do this but I'm way too protective over my OCs to let random people draw them. Are you allowed to just draw for other people? There are some cute character designs I've seen.

>>6714883
Yeah you can I saw a few people last year do that same thing

>>6712654
Yeah.

I only did one artwork related to it last year, so I guess this is my 'true' first year.

Only got 3 OCs up, though

>check af
>dont really plan on doing much this year
>get a message from someone who drew something I loved when I was a mega /beg/ shit 18 year old asking why I took an oc down
>they wanna draw my guys again
Bros Im still a mega /beg/ but I gotta draw something to show how much that meant to me back then. and they've improved big time too. Feels nice and I gotta repay them after all these years

I want to participate. I don't care about getting art, I just want to fluff up my portfolio from an easy to use resource. AF makes it easier to filter out the worst.

>>6714032
It's not SFW only:
https://artfight.net/info/sexualthemes

>>6712654
Fuck no. Did it last year and like 98% of artists are shit that put in no effort. It's not even deviant art tier, it's just furaffinity.

>>6714032
It's definitely not for you. I'd say at least 18 out of 20 artists were furries, trannies, edgy deviant art kids, or a combination of the three.
Don't know how many pink and blue dogs I saw with fucking mastectomy scars.

>>6715616
Oh come on thats not true
>hit random character
>Fat furry girl whos also a cam girl
Well not fully true...

I would join but i don't want to draw any zippertits

>>6712654
Looking through the characters is causing me physical pain, so I don't know...

i wasnt going to, i like art trades but artfite always felt like a slog because everyone on there is such a whiny and sensitive wee faggots that has a mile long "DONT DO THIS PLEASE ILL PISS MYELF AND CRY" list in regard to how youre allowed to illustrate their characters or what youre allowed to have em do
really takes the creativity out of it

i decided to do it after all, no harm if i end up deciding not to, and i might as well get some practice in and also use it to advertise my comic
just wish the characters on there werent all so bland and samey

>>6713203
No

id love to follow and draw for some people on here, artfight is so full of little tumblr/twitter ninnies, itll be fun to see what yall can make instead
post your artfight links plox

you have such a cool artstyle holy shit

I was checking out art fight and found the most based character on the front page of all things
https://artfight.net/character/3319470.yuumi-saito
Ugly neet americaboo girl

>>6716720
>check character perms
>'dont do anything racist'
kek, i found the character pretty funny too, but now i get the feeling that its not a gag and the author genuinely thinks this is cute and charming

>>6716730
Oh no

>>6716720
This person has ugly as fuck characters and I really like that

>>6716730
I dont see how that means its not a joke?
Jokes can be cute and dont need to be racist.

>>6716191
Thanks anon :D

sigh yeah maybe. i dont even have ocs i wanna see art of more like general requests so eh. i wouldnt let these tards near my actual ocs. also yeah holy shit the tumblr garbage is so bad. so much unappealing art and characters.

I think it's a very endearing website, personally. So many underages and retards drawing just for fun and passion, unaware that they can't draw at all and that none of their ideas are really that creative. I sound very hateful but I unironically respect that and have very warm feelings towards people that are like this, I try to encourage them whenever I can, I think these are the people that eventually improve and make it.

>>6712654
I unironically spend some nights just looking through other people OCs

That type of cringe is pretty endiring

>>6718135

But drawing cringe OCs made by kids is like 90% of the fun of art fight
Pic related it was one of my favorite pics of last year
I made it while listening to Bring Me To Life

>>6717561
>>6718135
These guys get it

>>6718530
Oh fuck that's a good one, maybe I should add it to my list
Like there's unironically some genuine practice to be had in drawing these autistic over-complicated characters whilst still producing an appealing picture
Think of it as an aggressive optional challenge mode

>>6718530
This looks like the art of an eldritch monstrosity going through a kawaii phase
The secret end boss of Art Fight
I found the character page in case anybody intends to take a crack at it:
https://artfight.net/character/2973476.silly-seas

>>6718135
agree theres some hilariously bad shit on there
most kids dont even make characters to write into a story, so they have no personality or background and thus their design carries absolutely no motif or info about said character, its just a character 'design', like a mishmash of crap

i sometimes like to imagine what world these things could exist in
esp when i see a character whos entire design and color scheme is a pride flag. imagine just living in the transgender flag colors or something. the concept of a closet just doesnt exist for you. hell, imagine looking like that and NOT being queer, thatd be even funnier.
>dont just me bro, i was born like this
>what, gay?
>no, just colored like a bag of skittles

>>6718558
>drawing cringe OCs made by kids is like 90% of the fun of art fight
We have different ideas of fun. I don't support lgbt or zoophilia in real life, why would I do anything nice for people that do?

>>6715630
>hit random character
>get troon amogus thing
>>6715616
is definitely true.

>>6719079
The left have power today because of the cultural influence they exerted 20 years ago
If you want to make the world a better place you're going to need the younger generations to like you
Befriend a zoomer
Tell them they don't have to cut their dick off just because they're not a huge fan of sportsball
Also they're fun and ridiculous characters, and maybe you can recognize some of your own adolescent cringe in the heartfelt works of kids
But you can do more gesture studies if you really want, don't let me stop you

>>6719109
>Tell them they don't have to cut their dick off just because they're not a huge fan of sportsball

Is that a cum sword?

Team sorting has opened, what team are you guys doing?

>>6720423
i usually dont care about teams, but im especially indifferent this year
i might do werewolf purely because i mostly draw humanoids, and i know that most people ON werewolf are probably furfags, whereas most people on vampire probably lean more towards humanoids
more attacks that way yknow
but really idc where i get randomly sorted

>>6720423
I'm furfag adjacent so I'm running with werewolf but I'm going to be picking my targets more or less at random
What's surprising is that the vampires currently have more people
I was expecting the furries to overtake them for sure

>>6720450
eh, vampires ARE cooler, im sure plenty of the vamp folk, parden the slur, are still furries
i also pick my targets based on how cool their character is, not team affiliation, but some people get way too into the game to the point where you can tell theyre minmaxing effort to point ratio and bullshitting on the form just to win
its incredibly gay

>>6720423
I'm doing team vamp(always had a thing for them) but I'm worried that everyone on the other team are just gonna be furries.

>>6713203
be ready to be banned, faggot. af always had anti AI art stance, even earlier by banning artbreeder and other generated character designs

>>6720578
honestly, idk why people are so shocked that an ART competition doesnt like AIshit. i mean yeah, realistically i know the reason they dont like it isnt because they have any kinda artistic integrity, as evident by the kinda shite they create- its because leddit/twitter told em to hate it, so they hate it. but just cause theyre right for the wrong reason, doesnt mean theyre not right after all. you wouldnt enter a cooking competition with a can of chef boyardee ravoili, wouldja?

>>6719177
Sorry I promise the next time I see a young boy who isn't aggressively interested in tits and football I'll do everything in my power to make sure he cuts off his own balls

>>6720540
Most furries seem to be joining vampire

>>6720423
New to this whole artfight thing, What exactly does the theme and teams do for the art that you create? Like if you are vamp What does that mean for the art you do of another OC?

>>6722055
Nothing really. Whatever team you pick you will just gain more points when drawing something for an opposite team. You can just draw whatever you'd like for anyone at the end of the day without worry of sticking to any theme. The competitive and theme aspect of the site is really just overlooked for a reason. Artfight is best enjoyed when you're just drawing for fun without direction anyways

>>6722064
Thanks for the clarification! Excited to try this thing out just heard about it today

Can someone give me their characters to attack this year? I wanna draw peoples character's interacting with my own this year

>>6722671
sure, sounds fun
whats your account?

>>6722675
>>6713471

>>6722681
oh sweet thats you
solid work mate i wouldnt mind exchanging some art

im artfight.net/~AnomalousResearch

>>6712654
this will be my fifth year, and while i might not like the theme, ive spent too much time planning something big to save it for another year

is the site down for anyone else? i'm having issues uploading my characters.

>>6722731
The faggots who run the site refuse to rent better servers so the site is impossible to use right now and probably for the next few days.

>>6722731
it happens every year, everyone's excited to get to drawing that they flock to the site. all at once. uploading is probably getting affected by it too

>>6722739
Just don't use it at American times

>>6722731
wait a day or 2
this shit is unironically too popular for it's good

>site tells us not to start drawing before the game begins
>first 2 seconds in the site crashes because a buncha people are posting their fully rendered submissions
i kekkle

>>6722693
Do either of your humanoid characters have colour or are they strictly black and white?

>>6722790
theyre from a comic thats entirely in black n white
they might have color in canon, or they might now
it doesnt matter

>>6712654
I thought it would be cool when I did it last year but I just got really low quality fanart from zoomies

>>6722832
post your account, i wanna see how low quality we're talking

>>6722832
same as the other guy, please post the account I really want to see how bad it is

>>6723408
>>6722854
>inb4 anon wont post because his own art is shit too

lol honestly tho, artfight is mostly unskilled underages who dont seem to wanna improve, and it really doesnt incentivise you to draw for em when you know they might cry if you make their characters skin 1 shade lighter or write a comic having them say "cool beans bro" and the artist has a meltdown because the character is canonically triggered by beans, fraternal figures and thermal fluctuation and therefor you just drew them out of character and theyre gonna have a mental breakdown

Drinking game
Every time you see an Owl House OC character you drink a shot

>>6723581
really? i havent seen any
ive seen a few ponies, some homestucks and a surprising bit of tf2 ocs
the latter are the dumbest because people conflate the class with the character, so you dont get "this is uhhh amanda and shes a sniper", you get "this is my The Sniper^tm oc, hes literally the sniper from tf2 except this one is gay and wears a bowtie!"

>>6723581
>>6723648
Jokes aside, we should make an actual drinking game for this website.
Open the "Recent characters" page and take a sip for every:

>Objecthead
>Pony/Homestuck OC
>Character who's color scheme is a pride flag
>Thehee QORKY WORM XD

If you really wanna get pedantic and drunk, drink everytime you see one of these dogshit art phenomena:

>Character looking forwards and their face is mirrored right to left
>Steven universe hooha lips/sausage lips
>That one generic furry artstyle every 2nd furry artist had

And lastly, chug the whole glass when you see some actually good looking art, don't worry, this one is so rare it won't kill ya.

>>6723673
>Character looking forwards and their face is mirrored right to left
Why Mister President what ever do you mean

>>6723677
>every humanoid is face forward
>every full blown furry is in complete profile
>everything inbetween is in 3/4ths

>>6722832
>did it for practise, and for the contagious joy of some kid keyboard sperging over the drawing i gave him of his ocs
>actually got some suprisingly good art out of it too

I'm gonna challenge myself. I have to draw whatever character comes up on the random button!
>succubus male furry cat with noticeable bulge

>Mario's original oc from when he was 12, do not-a-steal-a!

>>6723673
>>That one generic furry artstyle every 2nd furry artist had
Even without getting specific everyone probably knows what this means
Why does just about every furry draw exactly like this?

>>6713203
No, braindead "humans" aren`t allowed.

>>6723909
The main catalyst for furrydom was Disney

>>6723673
i dont even go there, its 99% garbage. been using the tag search.

>>6723673
dont forget ocs that are just asking you to design them an oc for free

>>6723824
I did it and I feel only shame now. If I get trips I do it again

>>6722832
Speak for yourself, I did a couple of quick little doodles to essentially go like, "hey man, nice oc" and got fucking fire in return last year, and I felt so bad about it I had to practice drawing for this year.

I want get into it, but god damn, it seems I better wait a few days for the site to be usable, because all the hype is making it slow as fuck.
>>6723884
It's funny that they always say not to draw sexual stuff with their OCs, when I'm pretty sure that isn't even allowed on Artfight. Also, for some reason, teens online are way more comfortable with fictional blood and murder than they are with sex stuff.

>>6724246
You got bitched at for providing free fanart? What entitled little shit did you draw for?

>>6724721
No, I meant, they drew GREAT fanart in response to my shitty doodle.

the website is so painfully slow that's the one thing that prevents me from engaging with it as much as i would like to

>>6722772
mods should unironically ban people who do this, sneaky lil cunts

>>6724275
>, for some reason, teens online are way more comfortable with fictional blood and murder than they are with sex stuff
its some kinda new trend to pretend to be all pure and wholesome in order to infantilize yourself, or to act like youre so much better than others and holier than thou for not engaging with the filth... butof course, theyre still teens, and teens will be into stuff theyre not supposed to be looking at no matter what
so if you dont let em look at porn, theyll just get their jollies off on gore instead

or, and oftentimes this comes in combination with the previous point- its teenage girls who were abused or e-"Traumatized" by horny stuff. and are now masturbating to guro

>>6724275
would you be happier if your son was a bake knuckle boxer or male prostitute ? same thing

>>6724749
Ha I know that feeling
Happend to me a few times and I feel bad every time

>>6724932
theres already a rule that goes against that, but people never listen...

>>6725244
why don't they delay submission by 30 minutes after the start so people can at least pretend they did it on the day

>>6725247
because 30 minutes after the start the site is still slowing down from all the traffic, so they want to submit it as fast as possible
aside from that, i dont even know whats running through their head when they do that

>>6712654
no im scared my abuser is on there

>>6723909
furries only want art of furries so it's a closed environment. it's like an island ecosystem.

>>6725305
furries dont even seem to study outside sources either, they dont reference real life animals or humanoid-animal cartoons, the way other artists reference real life people, objects or landscapes, or other people's cartoons and artwork
they only seem to ever learn from other furries

>>6725317
i wonder what furries would look like in a world without disney

>>6725299
bro?

>>6725299
are we talking, real actual abuser, or the way 16 year old girls on tumblr refer to a guy they e-dated for a week and then found out he thinks steven universe is shit as an "abuser"

either way, just block em bro its a huge website who cares
just dont talk to em
close your eyes bro

>>6725299
find him then block him, then do the artfight
remember fear becomes stronger the more you give in to it

>>6725299
Damn somebody might talk to you on the internet
Better lock yourself in a fridge just to be safe

>>6712654
Ya'll weren't joking with the amount of furries there, managed to find one satyr/faun character to draw tho which is pic rel. Those types of characters is my shit

>>6723436
> "cool beans bro" and the artist has a meltdown because the character is canonically triggered by beans, fraternal figures and thermal fluctuation and therefor you just drew them out of character and theyre gonna have a mental breakdown
lmao

>>6725622
I was laughing at your joke dipshit, lay off twitter

No because it looks stupid, I don't have access to my old account, and they insist you have to stick with the same account and username forever.

>>6724275
It's because it's not clearly defined as illegal to expose minors to gore (unless there have been cases under the obscenity law, but I don't remember Rotten having an 18+ warning) and sending gore isn't a gateway drug to IRL actions (grooming).

>>6725931
Maybe it has been defined as illegal, but the law isn't as straightforward as the laws about regular porn.

I don't know how to make appealing characters. I mostly attack, but I want revengers to have a choice instead of shlop. What do?

>>6725964
I've seen some people do "design me a character" prompts instead of having a character, you could try that

>>6725931
its not really a matter of legality
lolishota isnt illegal and neither is calling someone mean names online, but theyll happily threaten your life or send you actually illegal materials if you do so, which shows its not exactly a mattef of legal justice to them
its just a weird modern movement

Honestly, I mostly just draw my own OCs, but fuck it, let's see if I can do this year.

>>6712654
by the time I finish redesigning my one and only OC it's gonna be over probably

I don't really have OCs I just wanna draw other people's characters. Also, are all OCs vampire/werewolves

>>6727408
>are all OCs vampire/werewolves
Nah people can upload whatever types of characters they please. It's just the theme for the teams but its something a lot of people ignore

>>6726196
How long does it take to design a character? its a month-long event

What is artfight?

>>6725299
I'm sorry anon but the replies to this where so fucking funny that it actually helped push me past the same issue, even if it isn't as much of a problem anymore. Good luck out there, it gets better over time and the internet is a big place, worst case scenario it's easy to rename and disappear all over again. You need to remember to try to have fun for yourself again.

>>6728772
celebration of unbridled creativity and autism

an internet representation of what you get when you give a buncha art supplies to the back seat row on the short bus

I loved artfight last year and you see some actual crazy people submitting stuff
It's wild

>>6729758
I love how I spend like 6 hours rendering someone's OC, but anything I get looks like it was done in 3 minutes during a bumpy car ride.

>>6729869
Artfite really isnt a good place to try and get art of your ocs in exchange for effort of your own, you can only hope you get something good by drawing for good artists, but its not the most fruitful endeavor
You gotta do it just for the fun of drawing and maybe advertise your work/comic/characters/whatever it is youre putting out there
The art you get is secondary

>>6729758
Man that guy is autism incarnate
Hundreds of attacks of the lowest quality
Pencil drawing OCs with the worst designs but incredibly explicit mandates on how they are to be depicted

>>6729758
Autism is beautiful

>>6729758
Im still salty this fucking guy reported me over drawing his shit ass oc and after he gave me a crayon scribbled drawing
I'll die mad

>>6730125
Please pyw I wanna see what got this guy so mad

>>6730139
It's like two year old drawing so don't judge it harshly
It was about the arms. I couldn't see clearly enough but apparently she's not meant to have stick arms even though that's exactly what it looks like

>>6730145
I looked it up
The real travesty is that return drawing they did with the stanky leg

>>6730145
You are how I learned about that guy last year
Thank you for your service anon
I have thought about how to fuck with that guy without breaking the rules

I'm getting a lot more attacks this year than I thought I would. It's not that I'm ungrateful but I feel obligated to do revenge attacks before attacking new people. This is really surprising because for the past few years I've normally been completely unnoticed

>>6731662
whats your username

>>6713203
be careful of what jokes you make. i might just find you and cut your face off for pissing me off

>>6732081
Does your mom let you use 4chan?

remember to avoid terminally online twitterfags on artfight who have race stated in bio and/or have dnis on their profiles (which are banned per site rules). chances they'll be insufferable is 100% so it's better to block them

>>6732675
already way ahead of ya buddy
you used to be able to avoid pronouns in bio but unfortunately now it became such a normalfag meme that odds are the person having them doesnt even realize its an odd thing to do, they were just psyopped into thinking its normal and accepted, so that doesnt work as a filter anymore

i just focus people with really fun styles, chance is all the e-children and queertters have shite, samey artstyles so you wont come across em anyway if you filter by any level or creativity or originallity

>dnis on their profiles (which are banned per site rules)
is it really? youd think artfight, the website that cries and pisses themselves if youre a le heckin problematique individual would only support the notion of putting a big, glowing, neon sign on your page saying "GET OFF MY PAGE REEEEEEE"
whats their reasoning for not allowing it

>>6732680
there was issue with callouts on site which resulted in callout ban that extends to dnis which mods consider form of callout. i don't know what exactly prompted this though. anyway moderation is horrid and people i reported ages ago for having a dni on their pages still run free

>>6732861
moderation on that website is very janny-esque, they just do whatever the hell they please

i used to have an old accound that i asked to have deleted before i made a new one, it still isnt deleted and they dont give a fuck, at the same time you can lose your account if you offend the mods personally, i knew people who talked badly albiet not innacurately about the moderation and had their shit deleted in seconds

its all arbitrary as hell

>>6724938
Kids just like edgy things because they think it's cool and 'badass'

>>6729758
Need his tag, I forgot it from last year

>>6732952
>i asked to have deleted before i made a new one, it still isnt deleted
I emailed these fuckers like 4 times over the past year to delete an old account of mine and have yet to respond to even one email. They don't really want people having more than one account but yet will refuse to do the bare minimum to stop people from doing that

>>6719177
Where to you people come from? Like why are you on 4chan of all places?
I'm now going to say niggerfaggot.

Niggerfaggot

Anyways artfight seems interesting but after doing commissions for so long I have developed an aversion towards anything to do with other peoples OCs.

>>6733550
at this point im starting to wonder if itll be easier just to commit some kinda offense on the account i want gone, than to ask to have it deleted myself

maybe if i make my whole page just the wikipedia entry for ethnic slurs and then report it, itll be down sooner

>>6733750

That's what I do on sights where I have to ask for permission to delete my account.
My account goes out on my own terms, always.

>>6734754
ive done it
lets see how fast it goes down, i have a timer beside me

keep in mind its been 4 YEARS since i began kindly asking them to delete the page

>>6734809
KEK

>>6734809
well, less than an hour later and i am officially banned
and yet my page still isnt deleted

i swear this website functions like two cans on a string

>>6734809
>>6734935
aaaaand its gone

mark it down, boys
one hour
it took mods one hour to do what shouldve been done in 4 years because i posted some spicy mama mia image

>>6734941
I'm gonna try this later with my old account now, thanks. Did they IP ban you or just take down your account?

>>6734944
no IP ban, i can still make an account and login just fine. have you seen the state of the website? those furries dont know what the fuck theyre doing, the server is probably cobbled together from some bobby pins stuck in a potato in one of their apartments

>>6734941
AssEater, the man the myth the legend, may be gone... but his character the legendary janny banishing, master of darkness and consumer of chicken, is still alive and well.
both on the website, and in our hearts.

>>6734965
The comments kek

>>6734966
oh nooo, people might find out im a 4chan shitposter
too late, i already post my current art here

>>6734966
it sounds almost
threatening
like they know what kinda autistic power their synchronized screeching has and how hard they can ruin this mans future career

>>6734966

>>6734966
You can tell this fag uses Twitter and unironically thinks shit like this is the end of someone's career and life.

>>6734974
kek

>>6734966
he is not wrong. it's fairly easy to identify people by their art style, is why i only put my shitass digital painting stuff on here.

>>6735265
these days it kinda is kek

>>6717561
I was about to come here and rant about how fucking trash the OCs are, but your post set me straight.
It made me realize my deterrent wasn't the design, but the character owner. For example, I found this on a clown character I wanted to draw:
>Don't whitewash my characters
>All characters are already white, save for one, and they're purple
??? Do these people just say things and not really think about it?

>>6736192
kek, show me the character? i love clowns anyway

but yeah sometimes people dont actually make these statements as an actual deterrent, they make them to piss off a hypothetical people they hope exists
its the same reason people make "DNI lists", its mostly just to make some kinda statement thatll totally trigger le epic style some random person they dislike, kinda like being a 10 year old kid and putting "and also MARIO IS GREAT, and if you think hes not then GET OFF MY PAGE!" on their blog...

>>6736192
probably just copied and pasted it from someone else's list without thinking about it.
my characters are siblings and i didn't put 'no incest' anywhere because i assume most people have functioning brains and wouldn't do that anyway. but you do wonder sometimes.

Just got this banger of an attack.

Here you go, anon. You and >>6737899 raise a good point, although I found this profile searching the NSFW tags, so you know they're not 10

>>6738259
kek the way they talk makes them sound like a bitchy highschool popular girl
>ewwww, whitewashing? like, totes yikies totes do NOT EVAAAH!

>>6738270
people are allowed limits. i think most people here would start seething and malding if someone drew their character black or draped in a transgender flag

>>6738283
sometimes i think people on 4chan dont actually read the posts they respond to
they just get the general jist of what the poster is mocking, and then assume what theyre actually saying

>>6712654
Anyone got tags in which the characters aren't uninspired dogshit (or at least some of them)? I ran out of decent ones from my bookmarks
To share one, I liked https://artfight.net/character/3172466.scottie, felt refreshing to have someone whose whole personality doesn't revolve around being lgbtwhatever (the bar is low)

>>6738303
>(the bar is low)
it sure is, buddy... it sure is
unfortunately tags dont help you since these losers can have any ol archetype as a character
normally id just trust in really edgy tags revolving around sex or violence, but that stuff isnt allowed on artfight in any real form, so your left with fag-tier "uwu sex positivity" and "candy gore" and "haha hes such a quirky skrunkly gremlin" type stuff

i think its best if we all just shared our own characters on here and drew for eachother or for the people in eachother's circles
online websites are whatever you make of them if you manage to find likeminded people

go ahead and post yours pls

>>6738303
>Do not:
>Vent art

i dont get what e-babies mean when they say 'vent art' anymore... didnt it used to mean "i was feeling very emotional so i drew this thing on a whim to vent out my feelings"? why does it seem to just mean "something kinda sorta angsty/edgy" nowadays?
you cant exactly sit down and DECIDE to make vent art, by definition its something that comes to you
i want watching an art stream the other day where an artist was taking requests and asked what she should draw, and someone suggested she should draw vent art so she did it
it means fuck all now, doesnt it?

>>6738314
>normally id just trust in really edgy tags revolving around sex or violence
bro, secondary fans took over fucking everything
i used to be into stuff i figured no internet fag would ever be into, like the Postal series, or Superjail, those things are not only crass and violent as hell but also quite offensive at times but it seems like now people dont even need to watch or play the thing theyre supposedly "fans of" in order to call themselves fans, they just consume secondary-tier fan content and call the main character their widdol babygorl

Never done this before but there's some really cute designs on here. I was really taken with this one

>>6738361
My draw (wip).

>>6738364
oooooh looks good, anon! its always interesting to see what people can do with the simplest designs
post account please?

>>6738314
Alright, have a Znudimir
https://artfight.net/character/2292869.znudimir, I'll give the Iruka gal some lore one day, so she won't be just based on "lulw what if I made a weeb dolphin"

>>6738366
I'm https://artfight.net/~impfeet

I haven't posted anything yet but I'll probably post an oc later this evening~

>>6738366
The character link btw
https://artfight.net/character/2420340.spud

>>6738285
I think there are people from AF who otherwise wouldn't be caught dead on 4Chan camping these threads out of paranoia. They don't know how to shut up and lurk instead of replying to everything that triggers them.

>>6738477
i wonder if youre right
but that aside, that post would still be accurate even regardless of AF, people on 4chan just dont read anything, they constanly have only one thing on their mind and associate everything they read with that thing
therefor when they read a post, theyre not replying to what the poster actually said, they simply try and figure out which arbitrary "side" the poster stands on, and then reply to THAT instead

>>6738397
>https://artfight.net/character/2420340.spud
tyvm, I'd actually accidentally closed the tab myself and lost it.

>>6738482
That's true. There are some replies I come across the boards that are too stupid to be trolling.

>>6738303
I find the Cartoon and Cartoony tag really cool to check through because there are a lot of really cool stylized artists in there

>>6738477
have you not seen the oc redraw thread, the webcomics threads, or literally any thread talking about characters? this website is not the big boy anti-cringe bunker you seem to think it is

>>6739996
nta but wtf does this have to do with the fact that people THINK 4chan is this super scary nazoid deep web website? sure, it may not be reality, but if thats what common internet fags think, thats still how theyll treat us?

Are there any actually good rabbit characters around here?
It isn't looking good this year.

>>6740313
Here's some I found that I at least think seem cool
https://artfight.net/character/2163044.oni

>>6738364
How do you get such smooth gradient like colours?
I SUCK at colouring my work and would love any advice

Looks like the folks from /i/ are organizing their own artfight.
>>>/i/751111
Apparently they're allowing nsfw. I'm lurking in the discord and it seems alright but it hasn't started yet.

>>6742046
Also looks like there's anons from /b/ and /aco/ but I haven't seen it posted here on /ic/. I might ask about it.

>>6742046
>Fred is already shitting up the place
Does that guy genuinely have some kinda masochistic desire to be called a fucking retard It's starting to seem like hes looking for, and getting off on, the attention

>>6712654
I should've never participated, I've become genuinely 5x more efficient in actually making pieces instead of being how I normally am, in that I usually do nothing all day.
This type of enlightenment of my CEO grindset stuffed deep within myself infuriates me deeply.

>>6738283
Posts like this one are what happen when you don't gatekeep, look at this retarded faggot

>>6739996
>big boy anti-cringe bunker you seem to think it is
Go back to twitter. Every time you speak it's painfully apparent you never learned to communicate in a way that isn't acrid, irony-laden and retarded.

>>6740026
4chan's reputation is what keeps it full of posts that are an order of magnitude better than the sort of incoherent, unfunny nonsense you see on twitter. Imagine if /ic/ was overrun by migrants. All hardcore criticism would be banned, all outlying thought would be removed, everything would be anime-derivative garbage somehow even more insufferable than the animufags we have on here already.

>>6743541
4chan's rep is a double edged sword
sure, it keeps out the reeeeally whiny children and tumblr immigrants, but it also lets in a new wave of retards, people who only know it as this scary hacker website or recognize it from those greentext posts that get shared everywhere and come here to shit the place up under the belief that every single board on the website is /pol/ or /b/

>>6742046
>>6742049
well i guess i'll make an official invitation now then!!!

Hiya /ic/! The Summer Scramble is scrambling together artists from all of 4chan to participate in our own version of artfight! Two teams, the Starmakers and Lucktakers will compete head to head to see who can give the most art! Well, I guess it's just like normal artfight, but we allow porn submissions. If you like art trades, come compete! Character references are due on the 20th. https://discord.gg/Ah7UbwDg

so how many of you already gave up on artfight this year?

>>6749247
Not yet, still getting 1-3 attacks done a day :D

>>6712654

July is the worst fucking time for me to participate in something like this

>>6749481
Because of all the minors showing their deviantart OCs? If so, I agree when the month where everyone's going back to school is literally right next to it.

Who the fuck decided on this theme, because Team Werewolf has been in the lead this entire time.

>>6749481
>>6750551
i was about to say, this is why they do it in the summer
most of these people are kiddos

>>6749247
people attack me and when i give them a defence they delete the drawing i dont understand why
at least i download the drawings but its weird

>>6725964
go on youtube and lookup
>color theory
>character design
alternatively if you can find the pdfs
>Characters Designing & Drawing by Clint Cearly
>Creating Characters with personality by Tom Bancroft (very, very Western, cartoony oriented)
i wrote this and just noticed i am two weeks late for your post. oh well

>>6751781
What the fuck are you drawing back for these people to lead to that reaction?

>>6751781
>>6752477
im with anon

>>6752477
send me your profile on artfight and you would see

>>6753848
nah post it here coward

>>6753848
I'm sure I would absolutely love some disgusting poorly hidden fetish art of my characters!

So is Artfight dead? With all the discord shit about most of the staff fucking off, it doesn't sound like it's going to hold up after this year unless something else happens.

>>6753848
yknow what fuck it im curious enough and idc what you do

https://artfight.net/~AnomalousResearch

now show me what they drew

>>6756833
>discord drama
First of, I don't fuck with that Discord slapfights, but even if I did, I have to give them a phone number to use their server, so I can't even use it.

>>6712654
Willing to do art fights with you faggots
>Cow otter oc

>>6757784
This isn't /trash/
cover em up, slut.

>>6757784
This is good.
>>6723909
Bad NGMI

>>6756833
It looks like the initial fight was about donation transparency, but they decided to add on grooming into the doc, too. The Human Centipede shit was funny as fuck.
I wish there were an adult-only (adult enough to scare away the retards) Artfight

>>6757784
Shouldn't have called me a faggot, now I'm not interested anon.
I bet your fighting style is just hurting feelings just like now.

>>6757944
>grooming
Actual grooming, or a teenager just sent dick picks to the wrong person, again?

>>6757990
It was someone reporting their ex for being 17 when they were 14, and then 18 when they were 15. They cited that they were a "Well known Warriors animator" w/e that is, and lots of !!!!! :D HI SORRY 2 BOTHER language
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQdcVOO4rI87zdelRJtbn8oIl8ytEQMXyDQfWA5y0olKMc3tfldN4L6K7ACmRqKSuU5VAfnJLxcHOsh/pub
Just ctrl+f to "grooming." Accuser is a fucking spaz

>>6757999
"Hello Hii roarw :D XD, excuse me I got groomed!"
>he kept saying it as fine as long as they didn't do anything nsfw, which is factually correct
Oh hell no, they're a basketcase.

>>6757949
Wait no im sorry :( I didn't mean it like that it's just the 4chins lingo ya know

Yeah... thanks but no thanks. Cancerous underage retards and their autistic furry self inserts.
