The Basics
What is Artfight?
Artfight is an art trading website that has users break up into two teams to do trades for points every July. Each trade (more commonly called an attack) is worth a certain amount of points based on composition, medium, number of characters, team and overall effort. In general, more effort and time means more points, and the team with the most points at the end get a cute crown on their team stamp. Of course, the entire process is just for fun, but it's a great way to express yourself and share your characters in a way unique to the site.
Where to Start?
Artfight has a ton of resources on the main page, so reading the guidlines there is a great first step. Of course, once you know the rules, you would likely want to start working on your profile. In General, it is best to look at the guidelines before making the profile just to make sure you don't accidentally break them.
Your profile can be basically anything. I recommend checking out Phoenix Masked's video going over examples for some inspiration. I personally use tables to separate my different aspects, such as information about me, my characters, and additional stuff like the character links. It helps to keep things organized, even without CSS. (More about CSS in the Advanced section)

CSS
Artfight requires users to pay for CSS usage on the site. You don't need CSS for your profile, but it helps it stand out. Make sure to check to see if your profile looks good on both Dark and Light settings. Also, as of 2026, CSS profiles can be disabled for accessability concerns.
Fun Ideas
Here are some ideas to make your profile and character pages pop. I've done my best to provide guides for each. If none of the following ideas are enough, I recommend looking at Toyhouse, Pintrest, Youtube, and other profiles for inspiration.
