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 I really like how the older one has a faded out appearance, like an old dinosaur book lol.

You can analyse it that way too? Didn't know.
Also: MWAHAHA! Seemingly good job even though I just went lalalala at it. Besides the rushed-ness.

Seriously? Cool.

If that is 'Rushed'... then you are too damn good... it looks like it would of taken months to make (for me at least).

One day Cen... The pupil will surpass the master...

He could. He just need to get down the basics of anatomy, lineart, colouration, highlights and shadows, use of light, use of colour, different styles and techniques, advanced anatomy and use thereof, perspective and so on faster than I learn new things?
It should be possible if he practices enough.

well if you can get anatomy, colouration texturing, and a use of light, a modeling programing can fill in the shading, highlight, and perspective. What I like to think about 3D rendering is basically imagine you are taking a picture usually you like to think of what you want in a scene and such except unlike a picture where you just have to find a scene in life in a 3D program you have to make it.

Yep, it only took 18 years of practice for me to get to where I am now. In my opinion, art is just something you are born with, a natural talent of sorts.

I love the prespective of the guillotine. It's fun to look at the guy, then to scroll up to the top of the guillotine, gives the illusion of actually looking up at it.

And here, let me try and help you:

Shhh, you will just break his heart!
It can be learned, though, but the motivation and passion has to be there to use hours on hours to stare at other people's drawings to see how they did that little thing that made that and that look good.
