⛄️ 2024 SNOWBALL SMASH - NAUGHTY VS. NICE ⛄️
DECEMBER 10 - JANUARY 10
Written and hosted by redcrowz
THE Jist
Participants are split into two teams. Players "attack" people of the opposing team by making winter-themed art of Cinnas you choose belonging to members of the other team. You are free to use almost any style, so long as it fits the requirements of a colored fullbody. Your team receives points based on what you create for the other team with each attack.
The artist that receives the attack can then counter that attack by drawing a Cinna belonging to the person who attacked them, or pay it forward by attacking a different person on the other team.
At the end of the month, the team with the greater score wins!
But remember, while there are point scores, the real goal is to celebrate characters with your fellow artists.
Just like Art Fight, this event is about giving and receiving amazing art.
REQUIREMENTS
⭐ You are fighting for either the side of Naughty or Nice, much like Art Fight! Pick your team here and/or indicate it somewhere on your profile.
⭐ You must draw gift art of someone else's Cinnas, preferably on the team you are against but friendly fire is allowed.
⭐ Your piece must be winter-themed.
⭐ For the sake of simplicity and the fact that Art Fight is not in-season for us to calculate types of art properly, only colored fullbodies will count as the minimum. There are add-ons though.
⭐You can only draw a Cinna once for it to count. You cannot draw the same Cinna again and have it count for points. This is to prevent exploiting simple designs to rack up points. We encourage you to draw a variety of people's Cinnas!
⭐ Your entries will be counted at the end of the event and you will be given an appropriate amount of prizes for your effort. The winning team will get a bonus reward.
🌟 Rewards for will be a item point shop that may have some special presents for you all! A preview of the shop will be available during the event once it is set up. Points will be transferrable among users.
CRITERIA
- [REQUIRED] Colored Fullbody: 1 point
(can be nugget, chibi, fullbody, whatever size so long as it depicts all of the Cinna)
Add-Ons:
- Shading: 1 point
- Patterned Background: 1 point
- Scenic Background: 3 points
Friendly Fire:
- 50% of what applies to the friendly fired Cinna
As an example, an attack contains 6 flat fullbodies total on one canvas, 3 Cinnas belong to the opposing team, 3 Cinnas are friendly fire. You will get 3 points for attacking the opposing team, you get 1.5 points for the friendly fire (0.5 points for each friendly fire cinna) The attack is worth 4.5 total points.
NOTES
- Unfortunately, we do not have the means to autobalance teams. We do encourage you to keep the teams balanced when possible.
- Switching teams in the middle of the event is not allowed. If we catch you doing this without switching back (in case of an accident), you will not be able to participate from the next Cinnaverse event. You may join whenever in the event, however.
- If you have any questions, head to #❓-ask-the-staff !
REQUIREMENTS UPON UPLOADING
- Mark the art with the depicted Cinna(s) and who it is for in the Characters and Other Participants sections respectfully.
- Use the description below
Description Example:
- Art Type(s) + Any Applicable Add-Ons: 3 shaded fullbodies with a patterned background
- Total Points: 7 points
- Artist Team: Nice

TL;DR:
- Appoint yourself to a team, draw at least a winter-themed fullbody Cinna from the other team, get points to win and get rewards!
🍫 TRAIT UPDATES 🍫
Double and triple tail update
Double and Triple tails will no longer require an additional Rarity Rune / Golden Mead respectfully if involved in a rare / legendary tail fusion.
This means if you have a rare tail fused with Double Tail on your Cinna, that tail will now only require one Rarity Rune, not two.
UNUSUAL BODY CLARIFICATION
Traits that utilize Unusual Body traits to mimic others are required to have both.
For example, if you have candy corn body spikes on your Cinna, that would require both the Edible UB trait and the Scaly UB trait.
CHIMERA CLARIFICATION
Chimera does not require any Rarity Runes for Wild Faces for the other heads. The Golden Mead covering Chimera will cover the Wild Faces.
Cinnas with Chimera can now have dog and cat heads so long as the base Cinna anatomy matches the submission.
Trait ART UPDATES
Updated trait art is still in the works!
We thank Playdeadpossum for all of her hard work, and thank you all for your patience!
