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.

Yeah, Zophia did say she was not gonna "write anything but NaNo"... Guilt will most likely get the better of me one of these days...

*A lot of curse words*

Do I need to do the judging?!
I have work to do myself but I can afford to give atmost 30 minutes to judge this.

Meh, here we go...

No champ's exhibit.

Straight to first place, but let me first mention that only around half of the entries seem to revolve around costumes, while the rest are just depictions of stuff you might dress up as.

First place:
Bronze

Goblins totally need costumes too. Also, you're pretty good at drawing faces~

Second place:
Zega

So all the little Cubone really just got stuck in their costumes... Poor things. Somewhat sloppy shading, I've seen you do a lot better. But fun.

Third place:
kingryan

Sketchy, but drawn out enough to convey the idea... Which is kinda fun. Probably less fun if you don't know Strop and his character, but lulz when you do.

THE REST

the_manta

Usually, clowns do not scare me. This mask is almost an exception, dude, that thing is creepy! So fitting for Halloween, I guess~

hectichermit

One of those that aren't really portraying the costume but more the monster that the costume is supposed to be. Very nice colouring, though, and good-looking brush strokes in the background.

Nilo

As with hectic's, not so much showing the costume properties. But glad to see a non-digital entry~

Owen135731

I don't really know what to say. I think I missed the punchline... O.o

goumas13

Well yes, heh~ Also wondering what they saw to give them that expression... O.o

...

Yay. Late judging is late. Let's see if we can gt this going again...

*lies in the dark for several minutes, coughing painfully every now and then, trying to think of a theme*

Theme: SCIENCE!
Deadline: November 24th.

Yes, science in all caps. Blame a conversation I had the other day and too many articles on cracked.

So was mine!

I hate digital media.

Well working with it, I mean. Not traditional enough for me, but okay.

SCIENCE!? I'll think of something.

I used 2 minutes on looking for this before I noticed its theme got changed...
But good job, Zophia, good job. Now I can delete my stuff.

And I have ideas for this, which annoy me, because... I should not care.

Just science is okay, but extra thumbs of if you somehow manage to convey SCIENCE! without writing it on your entry. (Remember those discussions we've had about entries relying on text? Yeah, try doing the all caps exclamation mark without writing it on your pic.)

Also, you're pretty good at drawing faces

Thanks, if there is one thing I'm decent at it is drawing faces. AND that might be my last entry for a while, I have to spend my drawing time on my homework.

In science we are learning about cell reproduction. So I would rather not enter this contest.

*Regrets telling people that that is science*
