Hello armor gamers, and welcome to the *official* GFX Battle thread!

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*

MM no, i do not draw sadly I wish i could draw that.

It is just image manipulations I take an image, render the character out, then make something with him. In this case the rendered character that i cut out is here:

>.<

(I can be found in my sites gallery)

And yes i have a brand new tablet and an old scanner

It is a requirement that if there is something that you did not fully make in your GFX, that a link must be provided. This applies to all entries.

Yes, as long as they are not copyrighted. That is why all links to unoriginal material must be provided, so that we can assure that no one is using copyrighted material.

Using renders is what digital art is all about. I don't think you fully understand this but w/e we rely on the web for resources. Your basically saying no i cannot use my talent here

No, I am saying that you cannot use copyrighted images. I NEVER said that renders were not allowed. They just have to be free use.

That image is from Amazon... I don't think this is free use.

7 hours, to remove the white? I am sorry, but I am not going to feel guilty for disqualifying something with the original 'no copyright' rules that you yourself stated in the first post of this thread.

And I know that it did not take you that long. Magic wand tool, select, delete. I have taken Photoshop classes, and have used it for over 4 years now, and even had a job teaching people how to use it. If it really took you that long, something must be going horribly wrong.

Magic wand is retarded. Try pentool! Clicking pixel by pixel around the image. So w/e.

You wanna take a stab at rendering it? HMMM go ahead! Then post your result! I'm not joking either. Use your magic wand >

Sorry guys, guess my art isn't accepted here.
