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.

Augh, I hope I can make it!

Teaser: I'm doing an entry which reflects a different interpretation of the theme, inspired by some of the stuff FireflyIV's been putting out.

Well, I'll be interested to see what you come up with. Out of interest, you talking about the stuff I've put in this thread or my old thread (which I kind of let die, but I'll revive in like a month or so btw).

@ FireflyIV: The old thread. I'm trying to do a bit of street-art, but I suck at it :P

Still, I'm getting ever closer to what I want for one of my projects.

I lol'd.

It's all about practice. My one tip would be to remember the food chain:

Tags

Throw-ups

Pieces

Productions

It's pretty hard to do a good piece straight off the bat. Still, it's slightly different in that it's not on a wall.

Interested to see what comes of this.

All I can say is that it's a whole different world when the airbrush/spraycan isn't involved!

Though I'd love to get into airbrushing at some point...digital media makes things a lot easier- once the basic prerequisite skills have been learnt it's a matter of design.

I wish I could be botherd to learn how to use digital art programmss, but to be frank I don't have the patience. Still, I'm a bit of a purist, so I'll never move from sketching/spraying/stenciling. There's a big divide in the graffiti community as to whether conventional artists trying to emulate graffiti pieces should be accepted into the community. As I've stopped bombing for the most part, I want to retain at least a bit of my graffiti rep by never moving onto other mediums.
