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.

I'm not absent from the forums and I still mod around, I just don't think it's fair to take reports which people expect to be dealt with ASAP when they're not. Hence comment closing, and I skitter around and find stuff on my own. Stuff can still be reported if you have me on AIM or MSN...

Judging is indeed tomorrow.

Cen could judge it on her own
On the other hand she also may put it off to wait for zoph
Fails?

Thanks for bringing that up, tried to ignore it Xx...

So yeah, unless I fall into a deadlike sleep once again, or something ends up taking all Zophia's attention, we should be judging tomorrow. Which technically means I should finish up that sketchy sketch.. Nah.

And I know what win means, Cholo > >... I am just having one of my trips.

... Voodkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

The Album I believe is the Dark Side of the Moon, the Song Us & Them by Pink Floyd. I just googled those lyrics you put up and found it.

oh and a little question about the rules of the competition...(not quite clear to me maybe 'cos my bad english)

so when it says that the picture must be drawn by hand or program...so can I use some 3D software to make the picture?

polys may not exactly be drawings but if I use NURPS so there I must draw the lines to get the surfaces...

Fragments. . .when used for dramatic effect, they run the gamut from arbitrary to masterful. 'Tis but a different form of art; one misgiven and misunderstood. A form of art that many dismiss as arbitrary and transparent, as a construct rendered useless in the diluted, cultureless modern-day society. Grammar is misconceived by many; it can be sculpted to fit the beauty of something, not simply used ss some sort of mold that all must conform too. Grammar. . .is a construct of the half-real. *sips some tea*

I think we've alked about that sometime a long time ago... Can't remember...

I'll say it's okay as long as the rendering you post is of a model you made, eithout any preset shapes. If that made sense.

Sorry I just noticed this, but define what you mean by preset shapes, because I had to work with #D Modeling, and if you mean even primitives,such as spheres and Cubes then...well I am hoping thats not what you mean.
