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.

V_V. All I know is, I only started posting a few weeks after I joined, and I only started posting in the AMW section a few months after.
Oh wait, I've been reading your join date wrong (I'm used to date/month/year).
It's fair that you've missed it. I just referenced back to it because I thought you knew.

Over the top? Naw, I've received worst reactions. Scary ain't it?
Actually more annoying. Maybe because I had my headset laying in my lap so I could barely hear anything... And the images flashed so quickly that I couldn't really see them. But yes.

I'm still trying to find a screamer that says you've lost the game.
That would be awesome.

Honestly the theme reminded me of a campfire horror story that you hear about in a movie or something, but I couldn't find a proper way of portraying that, so instead I chose a similar approach, and I left out both the characters arms out, just because I didn't feel like drawing them, and couldn't figure out what position their arms would be in.

On a dark, and stormy night...

Hmmm, this was the first idea to pop in my head. The colors aren't exactly how I planned then and I rushed. Sue me :P

The scream! What is he screaming about... That was my old art teachers favorite painting...

I dont have a scanner, so that means I have to do it in paint. So, I know that I need to make a deviant art file/profile, but how would I get it from paint to Deviant, then from Deviant to here? Anyone know of a thread I can look at?

I fail at demotivational posters. . . .

Btw, I used a memory scanner to hack Paint and increase the brush size for the airbrush. Is that allowed?

You don't have to hack it at all. For any brushes, air brushes, earaser, and it even works for the pencil.

Just hold Ctrl and Numpad Plus button and it will get larger. Try it out, It works.

I like using he scanner more, because I can directly change the value instead of pressing numpad buttons. Also, I'm using a laptop.
