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.

There are reasons why I glare at people saying I should be mod... Because I am more mean than nice....

Btw, if you have not yet coloured it, you could try and scan it, then colour, then scan and see what is best?

Ah I see, you would turn into Sauron if given power.

I'll probably do that. I don't really like to color, I just usually do it because I don't see many uncolored ones winning. Also, it isn't because I'm lazy, I just like how it looks.

Ahem: Grey is technically not a colour!!

An experiment in style that probably failed. I was about to use Gary Larson's style but I decided against it. It still has a hint of The Farside though.

Well since Cenere is sooo evil...I'm sure some where in the world there are those who would consider his art as poor compared to someone else...guess he feels good here away from the masses of serious critics. Anyways I believe not in talent just hardwork. Think of the poor cold scared little man who came up with fire just to survive then there is Cenere drawing with mud on the cave walls thinking "I need more light but how?" B)

I believe the same, hours of hard work, will beat pure talent. So sooner or later, I will beat Cenere's combo of hard work and talent, with just pure hard work. (gets depressed) Though I only have around 2 hours a day to work on my drawings, and the rest is spent vacuuming, cleaning, doing dishes, and working...

C: We have never agreed this much on the top, ehm, two before, have we?
Z: We have not, no. Or well, maybe we have, but not that much and that quickly.
C: Well, with five entries, it should be weird if we started fighting anyway. On the other hand we have fought about less.
Z: Exactly.
Let's get to it, though, now that you're here to kick me into judging and all~
No champ's thing?
C: *bow* That is what I am here for, yes. No chap, nope. We got a judge one *coughcoughminecough* but that is besides the point.
Z: No no, post iiiiiiit!
Because your fireshifter scribble is nifty~
C: T T
http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq1/Cerene_Cerine/lalalalalalalaa.jpg

I see no nifty.
Z: I see plenty~ Also interesting interpretation of the theme.

But onwards!

1st place:
C: JereN
http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/9300/moreb.jpg

Which is cool.
Z: Would have been nice of him to resize it a bit, though. But people seem to have stopped even trying to fit their images within the 670 pixels width of the threads...
That aside, poor guy~ And nice job on the perspective~
C: One of those pieces that would work well, if not better, without the text. The "More time" floating around is a bit unnecessary to me.
I think it was Bronze who said it was fun to look at the guy then scroll up and look ath the blade. I agree, and it is really a marvellous piece of work.
Z: ^^

2nd place:
C: Speaking of the devil: Bronze!
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/ss282/BronzeCAE09/10seconds.jpg

That guy is so fail that he is win.
Z: Also, pretty good colouring job, though I'm sure the scanner ate part of it.
C: Scanners are always hungry. And I think I have seen comics in that style before, and will therefore say the outrageous thing that it is very well caught in your drawing.
Z: And well deserving of second place~ I just think JereN's was a more ... timely interpretation of the theme, or something like that.
C: And actually works without a text, which this does not. Not that it is a factor. It is a petpeevee.
Z: *nod*
C: Onwards! The rest of the people.

Oh look, time once again shown without a clock!
Sadly the 'worn' feeling you seemingly wanted is... not showing.
Z: More of a ... copper (or is it bronze?) ire...d(?) by time? You know, that brown metal that turns green after being exposed to water for quite a while?
C: I think I know what he wanted, but metal when rusting does not end up looking like stone, which is what I think it look like. Darn granite, actually. But yes.
Z: Interesting to see such an entry for once, though^^
C: Verily so.
Marton.

Eye of time. Or... Weird looking clock.
Z: It's scary :<
C: It is a clock. What are you afraid of? It ticking at you?
Z: Do you have any idea how pointy the arms of those things can be?
C: You know, there is usually glass between the arms and you.
Z: Doesn't look like there is so on that one.
And it has a mean look.
C: ....... Anyway.
Last but not least: Zega.
http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo152/ArmorZega/TimeClocks.jpg

Note that we are not going to choose which is the better, that is what you should do yourself, so we simply took the first. Or rather, second.
Z: We did?
C: ... Correction: I am the one writing down the judging therefore I chose to take that image over the other.
Z: Alright, alright, no reason to be all T T at me...
Clockinclockinclock?
C: T T... Yes. I liked the first one he posted better. The flowerclock. Because it actually show how much better he has become.
Z: It's actually quite impressive.
C: The progress? I honestly agree.
Z: Exactly~

But that was the last one? Wow.
C: Choosing hard/stupid/annoying themes, I can that. Which is why... You should choose a theme this round.
Z: I should? Hmm. When's the deadline?
C: Hmm, let me check my schedule. .... A week from now? October 1st?
Z: Hmm, sure~

Theme: Pockets
Deadline: October 1st


If that's okay?
C: Does Hrowan relate to that?
Z: Not really~
C: Aw... Anyway. Judging done, any final words?
Z: Cya next week?

I just saw this after we finished jusdging (haven't been keeping an eye on this thread so much):

because I don't see many uncolored ones winning.

Isn't that a funny coincidence?
