Art fight results/thoughts/plans
3 months ago
Last year i joined art fight event literally few days before deadline and physically was able to do only one attack and i also screwed by attacking my teammate instead of opposite team XD it was still fun though!
So this year i was very excited to join artfight from the very beginning and take a full participation in this event. I was planning to do at least 3 art attacks. I bookmarked so many random artist's OCs in preparation.
The reasons artfight is cool:
- you just get to pick whoever you feel to draw and just come up with full artistic freedom (p.s. freedom is limited by artfight policy and OC owner's permissions ofc)
- you get to surprise OC's owner with some good stuff with no warnings which is fun!
- i don't feel like by drawing someone's OC i make the owner feel like they owe me something in return
Results:
I got to draw only 1 art instead of desired 3...
My drama shit happened literally IN THE BEGINNING OF THE EVENT and instead of enjoying and having fun i was mentally and physically exhausted.
And desire to meet at least some of my own expectations mixed with anxiety to not get it done before event ends...just pushed me deeper into shit hole instead of being a nice experience.
Well at least i don't feel much guilt for contributing only one art for this event ...it is still more attacks i've done than received this year XD
Conclusion:
I will give it a try again in 2026. Hopefully no drama shit will be on my way holding back my mighty inspiration haha
And i will try my best to attack at least 3 different members of opposite team.
I would be hypocrite if i would say "i am not disappointed at all about not being attacked for 2 years in a row" - this thing bothers me. Makes me think like "are my characters design suck? or maybe i just not lucky enough"
Next year I will see if i feel like i am giving to this event more rather than receiving > i will delete my account there and will be drawing for people i care and when i have a random urge to do so without using "artfight" as excuse to do some good stuff. Just be aware: if i just randomly throw art at you without any warnings - i will be just happy to hear "thanks" and nothing else in return. I don't want to look like i am transactional person who does something only for one way benefit.
don't get me wrong OFC I DO BENEFIT when i do gifts: simply by seeing how happy receiver is ---> THIS SHIT GIVES ME DOPAMINE OKAY I LIVE FOR THIS I DO THINGS WHICH MAKE ME HAPPY (+ i get to use this art as my portfolio hahahah)
