Art Fight 2026 starts in four days

artJun 27, 20263723,993

Art Fight 2026 begins in four days. Artists are publishing new reference sheets, full‑body character cards, and last‑minute edits as they add originals to the event. Participants are signing up for themed teams, including Team Mystery, Team Tragedy, and Team Comedy. Several creators emphasize limited time and plan simpler pieces or hobby‑time contributions while they handle commissions or work shifts. The roster includes both first‑time participants and veterans returning after multi‑year runs, and many creators say they will finalize a few late additions before the start. When the event opens, those registered characters will be available for the game’s art‑gifting matchups and prompts.

between our classwork and our life situation, we may only get to fill out a card for and submit one of our characters before event start. would adding more during the event be permitted?

Silly little deer creature design I made for art fight this year! Mainly as an excuse to draw nasturtium leaves and flowers

Original character design of a fawn creature with a large red horn. It has leaves and flowers growing from its back and tail.

Ready for Art Fight!!! Reminder that I do art fight in my free time only. So while my time is limited, I may do mostly simple art so I can continue to focus primarily on commissions! #ArtFight #ArtFight2026 #TeamMystery artfight.net/~Eskiworks

I just want to point out I have almost 400 bookmarks and it keeps on filling up,,,,, I don't revenge by default and if I get to at most 5 attacks this year I'll be very happy 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️(Also I'm 99% sure I'll do just black and white art) So not promising anything!!

Ocicat 𑄝 - animation arc??3

I was torn between Comedy and Tragedy but ultimately chose Comedy because my friend was torn between Comedy and Mystery! And we said this time around we'd be on the same team I dressed up my fellas in little Clown costumes because they #deserve #it #hell #yeaaahh

Scorpergast1

Drew a full body reference for Raven, just in time for Art Fight 😆 #art #oc #ocsky #cmxart #cmxocs

A full body reference for my OC, Raven. A young man who works as a barista in a coffee shop. He has dark brown hair, green eyes, and a beauty mark on his left cheek.

He’s wearing a brown-ish black turtleneck sweater, a dark green apron, long black pants, and a silver watch on his right wrist. In the background is the coffee bar where he works.

@ironfloret.bsky.social

a little late, but here's my AF card!! 💦 i had a tough time choosing a team at first, but i think this is ultimately the theme that appeals to me the most. 🎭 let's all have a great fight, and remember to pace ourselves well! 🧡❤️💙 artfight.net/~ironfloret [ #artfight #artfight2026 #teamtragedy ]

Rae's Team Tragedy Art Fight card for 2026. I mainly attack friends & mutuals, I do friendly fire & revenge (as much as is reasonable for me). All of my characters are human. Satsuki, Evan, and Kai are featured. On the empty two squares I've written "Listen, I've got double the characters I had last year, OK?"

Lady Nerevar

@ladynerevar.bsky.social

I noticed that there were hardly any Redguard characters on Art Fight so I threw a quick ref together for my ESO sorcerer. She's in her 60s, has the sort of superiority complex you get after succeeding at everything you try, and is always blocking your crafting station with her 2 Daedric summons.

Stylized digital drawing of a Redguard woman. She's older, has a shaved head with gray hair. Wears wide tan pants, an off-the-shoulder top and red vest. Gold belt and necklaces, as well as a forehead jewel. She holds one hand up and summons a blue flame.
