I tried it one year but got peeved when 2 of my 'attacks' didn't get any acknowledgement from the OC owners at all. However, I have a friend who does it every single year and always has fun

Yeah, I don't know a lot about the etiquette of the whole thing. Everyone I've talked to either seemed to love it or dislike it because they didn't get any attacks back, which seems really disappointing. I know that some people make "attack lists" where users mutually agree to attack each other, so maybe I'll look into that

I've participated in Artfight for 3 years (2019-2021) and I've had an alright experience so far. I don't suffer from an issue where I don't get enough attacks back (in fact, right now the # of people who have attacked me is higher than how many I've attacked) however there is a small trend I've noticed. A majority of attacks against me are of a particular character of mine who falls on the simpler end of the -

- character design spectrum. This could be indicitive of something, however there are other factors like the fact I have so few characters posted on my AF profile compared to the many I actually have. Also not saying that my experience with this trend is universal.

It's been a few years, maybe I'll give it another chance. Not getting attack backs doesn't bother me but I hope people are polite enough to fire off a quick 'thanks' this time

I have, didn't have the best experience. Did 3 or 4 attacks, got no defenses, and one of the people I attacked chewed me out for drawing their character wrong :(

I do it every year! Imo the people upset about not getting revenges are going about it with the wrong mindset- the fun part is getting to draw things for other people, it's not really a transaction. That said, I've been really lucky to get a lot of attacks from friends and strangers alike- last year I got 20 attacks total, and I also did 20 attacks against other people (not all revenges, a bunch random)

I've done it before but rarely have I had a year where I'm not interrupted by business in the middle of the month, so I rarely get to do a lot. Trying again this year, though! Maybe we can revenge each other :-)

lots of mixed reviews... but I think I'm gonna give it a try this year! I have some time off in July for the first time in forever, so it seems like it could be fun :) I'll probably make another post about it later, but if anyone wants to connect on artfight and revenge each other this year you can find me at @theartofmadeline (https://artfight.net/~theartofmadeline)
