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 about the kids saying "The doors open, maybe they left the stuff inside" and theres the adult standing behind the door inside (eyes really wide open) saying "come on, come on"
then you look up and see the bucket of water.

Zophia:

Strop, you could just have told me that I should censor it a bit, could easily remove the blood~


Hm, it's not really that. While the removal of blood may or may not have affected my decision, I would only have asked you to remove contents if they were in fact a violation of site policy, which wasn't the case here.

And I hope I start liking this contest again, 'cause something about it just haven't felt right


The judging style has changed. Either way, I think people should only enter this for fun, regardless of your artistic aspirations or status. Otherwise you will end up burning out, not just here but in general.

Woah, baby anthropopophagus! Crazy stuff.

Does that really freak you out that much, thoad? Coz like...I thought you were into crazy stuff

Either way unless you did the photo manip yourself, that's not an entry to the competition itself.

Dancing on the edge of the obscene again? Heh, oh well. I don't care, I still like that picture (and the reactions it got), so doesn't matter now~

I know it has, that's not it... Somehow it's just not as fun as it used to be. I don't know, could be something else in my life that is randomly affecting my opinion. Actually it probably is. >.> I'm not trying to cause any drama, sorry... Forget I said anything...
Seriously hope I don't sound like I just miss winning. I know there's a risk for it (especially since I actually do miss winning, but that has nothing to do with the rest :P).

Anyway, you won't mind if I play tricks on Strop for my entry this round, will you?

Yes, I beleive I'm on the mentally unstable side. . .but stuff like that just makes my legs shiver. . .lol. Pretty ironic, I can look at a gorey mess of a photoshop job and say, "aaaawwweeeesoooommmmeee" but when I see a human with a large gash or an extra leg/arm/face I freak out! Even if I already know it's not real.

do you have the mopies too? go back a couple of pages and you'll find songs made of pure techno happyness (intended. . . .IT'S ALWAYS INTENDED) anyways. . .yeah, Idk, OH YEAH NOW I REMEMBER!!! O.K., well, if the music doesn't cure you, you probably just have ran out of creative juices in your brain. Whenever I make a drawing that took me forever and it was a compilation of awesome, it takes a week or two before I can draw a decent drawing again. You might miss winning, but think of it like this, "Ok, I lost last round! Instead of feeling sorry 'bout it, I should step up my game!!!" and try to get yourself pumped up! Heck, make a Step Up montage if you need to.

Yeah, that kind of music doesn't induce happyness (intended :P) in me...
Btw, I don't think I lost. I just didn't win. There's a significant difference. :P

I was just out of whatever it is that keeps me going artwise. I think I got it back after all the horrible mess and frustration involved in losing my favorite program. Maybe I just have issues. *takes of scalp to check for loose screws*

You sound like you know more than the translator does...I was prepared for idiomatic issues and I know just about nothing about reading Japanese...oh goody, does that mean I can ask you for translations?


I don't know Japanese (actually, I'm supposed to know some Japanese but not well enough to translate), but I know Kanji well enough since it's not different from Chinese.

I gave up on my original entry for something a lot simpler and perhaps more daring.
