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.
this is my final entry, unlike most others. . .lol. I had to make it exxxtremely huge in order to hear all of the different things going on. But incase that doesn't work, I'll point out some minor details: 1. In the window, there are two big eyes looking suprised at the gigantic halloween spirit. 2. The kid is saying: DIE NON BELEIVER! 3. there is a sign above the door saying "NO candy here!!!" 4. There is a subway bus in the haloween spirits mouth.
Well i thought of these kids throwing eggs at a house and then go up to get candy... They walk away with candy in their hands, then it goes back to the old man and he says "Enjoy those laxatives" Quietly.
We Are the Itch you Cannot Scratch or, I couldn't tell which, Feels Like Fur
Haha, I knew that would cause some confusion, sorry. The title would be 'We Are The Ithe You Cannot Scratch,' the 'Feels Like Fur' was just a funny bit to call the link.
Like wow, seriously good stuff for a second appearance at these competitions. I am vastly impressed. With regards to Gantic's question in the thread re: Abstraction, this is one place where a title counts for a lot. What does it mean that the itch cannot be scratched? Why is it that the figures are apparently of people, doing people activities? This one also refused to sit right, agitating my thoughts until my head itched. An itch you cannot scratch indeed. I won't pretend I can read minds. I have no idea whether pedspog intended me to read this that way but that's what I ended up doing, whether by design or by an overactive imagination.
You are somewhat correct. My original intention was more of a metephorical one:
When you get an itch, theres a problem, how do you solve it? By scratching. In my artwork, those people, or figures, are causing the itch, or the problem. The hand reachting down is trying to relieve that 'itch,' but he cannot. 'The greatest issue of mankind is man itself.
I did not deserve to win, therefore I do not want the winning title, nor the merit.
