Hello armor gamers, and welcome to the *official* GFX Battle thread!
GFX is short for Graphics, this thread was made so that other members can partake in art contests. Here is how it will work: I) A moderator will choose a theme and a finishing date. II) Members who choose to partake in this event will make make artwork that fits the chosen theme. III) After the contest is over, a moderator/moderators will overlook all submissions and choose a winner. IX) The winner will be granted 25 Armor Points
Everyone can partake in this event no matter what programs they have, or do not have. Some may have nothing but MSpaint. That is ok! Remember that all submissions will be reviewed. Everyone has an even chance for winning.
*GUIDELINES* I) Stick to the theme given II) Posts in this thread must be related to the event. III) The maximum size for a submission is 600x600, i recommend trying to make all submissions at 450x200. IX) All entries must be in before the given date. X) All images used in an images must not be copyrighted! If a submission is indeed copyrighted, it will be rejected, and the submitter will have to face moderation :P
Okay, here's the dibs. Keeping in mind that I haven't actually tried it yet:
I was looking at the Wacom Intuos 3 line. Their pads range from the tiny palm-sized active areas to the oversized A3 size (after which you'd be looking at a strictly studio professional Cintiq)...originally I was interested in the A4 sized one, which has RRP $750. Then I decided that was too large both for practical and stylistic purposes, so I went with the 6x8" instead, which has RRP $600, I think.
However! If you're in secondary or tertiary education, you can get an educational deal which slashes the price in about half. The RRP for the 6x8" educational pack is $350. I really want one mainly so I can improve my versatility- maintain my natural drawing style while directly inputting to the computer. MS Paint is fun with the mouse but it's still *different*...more for nostalgic purposes.
Finally, I'm not really doing these battles to win them, heh.
Holy crap, is the Brett Sommers and Charles Nelson- Reily (match game, go to youtube and look them up if you don't know)of AG actually calling for a tag- team!
