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 don't know why but it seems everyone wants to know how I think. It's not like I am a genius or something.

It';s just because the way you seem to thin perplexes a good deal of the users on AG. I'd say I've scoped your writing out pretty well, but your visual art is still befuddling, yet good. . . . . .

Hmm, I need to draw something for this theme. Because... I need to.

That is pretty much what it does, or so I've read. It isn't close to being as good as it could be (bugs and all that), which is the reason it isn't on version 1 yet. Because of this, I don't think what I did with the picture (whatever that may be) in the version I have can be done with the latest version because it seems to have been caused by a shortcoming in how the algorithm works for transparent layers, which was probably corrected (to some extent).
XD Well, at least you got a good result from it~

No, but your way of expressing yourself seem a bit out of the box and interesting~
You may not be a genius, but you do seem intelligent, and your ability to make abstract art is - intriguing. *pokes your thought processes with an imaginary stick*

When I stare at my entry, it is staring back at me.
It's staring at me too. o o

When I stare at my entry, it is staring back at me.

It's kind of like the eye of Sauron. It's constantly staring at me. Almost as though it's whispering "you can't draw this" to me. 0_o

I lol'd at the fourth panel. It was funny how you drew the "that's what she said" guy with his eyes all wonky, if made it all the more satisfying when thoad knifed him and stuff.
thanks for the fraking link.

I started drawing. Then it morphed into my vision of what thoad looks like. Then I colored it. Decided it was beyond my normal drawing capacity. So I decided I couldn't have drawn it? I don't know haha I'm just trying to make it fit the theme.

There's a big non-sequitur in between panels 2 and 3...I appreciate that the "that's what she said" joke is often used in that manner but it only works if continuity is preserved elsewhere.

Anyway, here's a picture without words from me:

You know strop, half the time you make me feel stupid because whenever you direct a comment towards me the only thing I can say is "whut?", but I can only assume that you're saying that the "that's what she said" joke is to a point where you start saying something that can be taken sexually, and then that's how it's implemented, in sake of my brain and my fingers, I didn't write it (I do so hate writing, when it's not with a keyboard) to where the "that's what she said" joke comes in. I mainly just chose that because it's insanely overused, and completely stale.

Eh, sorry guys, I mistimed my post.

Thoad, you're smart, I'm sure you can understand what I'm saying. Non-sequitur, translated simply, means "doesn't follow". You're right in that the "that's what she said" joke is now overused and stale, so these days the only time it's used effectively is when in fact there is a certain appropriateness to it (i.e. when the phrase actually has some bearing to the subject at hand). xkcd has implicitly pointed this out in a strip a while ago, actually...

I agree with Strop on that...It doesn't really make too much sense...

And the 'thats what she said' joke is fairly old and stale...but I don't see how that fits to the theme....
