Hello and welcome!

This is a spin-off of the original GFX Art Battle, but with some updated rules and changes. Please make sure to read the rules before entering, since they have been modified. Good luck, we look forward to seeing some creative artistic entries!

Competition Rules
1. Must be hand drawn, either on paper or in a program. It can then be manipulated in an graphics program. But unoriginal artwork cannot be used as the main focus. Copyrighted images cannot be used. All pieces containing copyrighted images will be disqualified.
2. Submissions must follow the current theme that has been chosen by a moderator for that week. If you submit more than one piece, please clarify which one you would like to be judged.
3. If your image is larger than 600 pixels wide, please provide a link to the image instead of posting it in the forum. Otherwise, the image will be cut off.
4. Artists cannot win in subsequent weeks. You can still submit, but if you won the week before, you cannot get first place again the next week.
5. After the deadline, a moderator will pick the winner, and they will be awarded a 25 AP award.

what happened to photo shop though?


Ah, yes, that is why my images suddenly... crapatized me captain? I've decided not to use photoshop until I receive my tablet. I can make images quite a lot quicker with paint, even if they are worse. I enjoy paint. ^^

hmm alright then well I look forward to seeing when you get the tablet then...as my eyes will no longer be tortured by paint.I used paint for awhile,but I personally dislike it.I would spend probably an hour on there trying to do something I could do within a few minutes in photo shop....I think I've become spoiled by the program by this point,especially after figuring out how to edit brush effects....

Cheers. Due to your paper mario comments about my last one I was thinking of making a picture pretty much based on that, but I don't think there were any rhinos in the game. Ahh well.

YEAH! I LOVE YOU! SO MUCH!

But it needs a rhino. Possible you could have a battle from paper mario, if you know them, if not look at a screenshot and just recreate it penguin vs. rhino. Would be coooooool!

And if you make a 1440 by 900 version, I will make it my background

Lol okay. This could turn into an interesting project. I'll see what I can come up with. I just hope there are decent battle pics on google images cos I have absolutely no clue what they are like. I'll give it a go though.

Does anyone know how to turn on Transparency on MS paint? FOr when you have an image copied?


I don't know if thats even possible,but if it is then I wouldn't know how to use it.I suggest you get GIMP which is free or Photo Shop if you can afford it,which to me it seems that just about all of photo shops brushes start off with transparency on by default.Whatever you do I don't know how you could get transparency on paint.

yeah I saw it,but am not quite sure how you did that with MS paint that is if you truly did do that in MS Paint,since it looks like it was done with a brush of some sort,but you could have done that by abusing the text tool in some way,but its been a while since I have used that program for anything so I probably wouldn't know anyways,but thats an interesting entry none the less I guess(hey that rhymes)

There are things that are epic and then there are things that are epically disturbing.I found this to be the second of the two.Sorry,but is Greg a guy or a girl anyways?Its like some weird he/she pink skirt wearing sea monster.At least there isn't something out on youtube called "Two Greg's in one cup" or something like that,but I just really found it to be way too weird for my tastes and decided never to even think about it afterwords,and had forgotten about it for a long time,but after I saw that picture it reminded me of that annoying video"Hi I'm Greg I do Water Colors.I call this one Greg, and this one Greg" oh and didn't he say something about"Baileys" as well?I really don't want to remember,but it seems to be infectious for some reason now...curse you You Tube,can't live with it,can't live without it....

Yep, it should be the options at the bottom left of your toolbox thingy. I'm not sure that's helpful but trust me, you can make copied images transparent!
