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.

The highlight on the sand is a little too... Well, it seems to be white instead of a warmer kind of yellow, which makes the sand seems cold on those spots.


The color of the sand at the top is actually taken directly from a desert. Its the bottom that was less realistic because I used overlay on the dark side of the inner bevel I used to shade it, instead of maybe something like linear burn which I probably should have used instead.

The characters could have needed a bit of shading as well


Actually I was planning on it....but forgot while doing something else in the drawing. When I realized that I had forgot I had already posted it and just decided to say screw it, and I left it as it was.

Now I shall get to my entry...I just need an idea...I'm sure it will come to me.

I actually kinda realized that later on. Sand is often white (because it is made by pieces of quartz and all)... Sorry about that.

Good reason.
I guess it is nice not to be a lost perfectionist (who never gets it to be perfect anyway) like me.

Alright finally done with this thing. I couldn't come up with any decent comedic drawing, so instead I took a different approach to this theme.
