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.

@Cenere but you only have 2 merits???And yea he does have tough work but I would say in my opinion that Cenere, Estel and Zophia are the best artists in this thread I dunno Strop because I haven't seen Strops work since he is the judge.And as you said yes I see all the work people but in theirs.

I did not want one of them. I won the Hair-theme, but was told by someone I respect that it was not worth a merit, so I denied it. Never got the merit, and Strop mocked me with it last time I won.
Strop is rather good, and he do upload a picture each comp.

yeah at that time,Carlie was the judge and she screwed up on the link to his submission.There was no such thing as a DM back then though.I bet half of the new users posting on here,don't even know what the GFX Art Battles were for some reason.Anyways I could have sworn that she had won more then that.Although Gantic has managed to win a couple himself,with his very unique and almost abstract style of art.I can think of two immediately that I know he won.

Oh, the good old GFX Art Battle. Stopped two weeks after I joined. Back then there was no rule about not being able to win two consecutive weeks, meaning I pwn'd the ending of that thread thoroughly.

So I've actually only won one round of this thread. Though I think my wildlife entry had a very good chance of winning, had I not won the week before.

Well actually I think it did,but it was added in half way through the thread and so many new contestants didn't see it.So really I don't think alot of the rules were enforced very well back then.Including ones for using other peoples work in your submissions.So I think that was the main reason why the Art Skills Competition was created.Although I could be wrong.It has been awhile I suppose.

I believe I won a few back in the day of the GFX battlez (:

My one on fire was by far my favorite, and I won with that one. I think there may have been another, but I'm not totally sure.

I'm not really the best with free drawing on an art program. I'm more into the use of shapes, colors, effects, and fonts to make a piece.

At least Strop is judging the idea, creativity and way the creativity comes out, instead of favoriting the ones that draw better than others. I try to make the ideas as original as I can, the quality comes later.

Oh, ideas...
That is why I don't win so much as I could~
Which is good.
Arghhhh, I should sooo do something to the sketch I have for this theme......

Instead I've worked my way up to 2000 forum posts. What a procrastination. *sighs at self*
