"Hitlist" in the context of online art communities like ArtFight refers to a list of specific users or characters that an artist intends to 'attack' (draw art for). It is a way for participants to organize their goals and signal to others who they are targeting during the event. While the word has a violent literal meaning, in this subculture, it is entirely friendly and revolves around the exchange of creative works. Having a hitlist helps artists manage their time and ensure they give back to those who have drawn for them.
- Example
-
> COUGH COUGH COUGH sorry i havt been posting like artfight and stuff, i also have a hitlist.
> I'm adding you to my hitlist because your character design is absolutely stunning.
> My hitlist for this year is already way too long, I'll never finish all these drawings!

"Artfight" refers to a specific annual online art competition and community event where artists are divided into teams to 'attack' each other by drawing each other's original characters. The term has become a staple of the online art community (especially on platforms like Twitter, Bluesky, and DeviantArt) to describe a period of high creative output and social interaction. It functions as both a proper noun for the event and a verb for the act of participating.
