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.

Trying with less fail this time, sorry about that Lufffi... (Though technically you would have been too late if I hadn't been late. Still sorry about that, though.)

It is TTLY still Tuesday SOMEWHERE.
*defensive pose*

I actually started writing this exactly on midnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, AG time... So 24 hours later than I had planned. Life was mess. Needed brain off of things, so I procrastinated with City of Villains... Actually fitting for the theme of this week, Crime.

No Champions Exhibition, for I do not see a xiamot in the entree pile...


And I will say this beforehand. Really tough choice between the two top placements, but amount of detail won over simplicity because it more explicitly expresses the crime that took place (though it looks like the crimes in the two pieces are of similar nature).

First Place

And curses on you for only posting the link, I was already considering the top placements when I remembered you had made one that definitely deserved to be considered. And so it was.
Good use of blur. Love the wood effect in the handle. Not so much the blood effect. Overall well done and deserving this, though.

Second Place

Very close to first, but it's in the more subtly artistic end, which I tend to like better actually, but... With this theme... It just got topped, I guess.

Third Place
phsycomonkey

Image may be a bit quickly done, yet it still manages to have a good depth. Also I'm biased because of the vault door. Busted vaultdoors are guud. (Also good job on actually shading the notes.)
And as a sidenote, I do hope you become a lot better at handling critique.

All the rest of you los- err, not-winners (no offense intended, just tired humor):

Interestingly simple. Who's getting shot?

Did you ever explain this one? It looks kinda cool. Don't know what you meant with it, though.

Nice use of your chars~
Also, a tip... You might want to reconsider how you shade eyes, and consider beginning to shade bodies.

Also very close to get into the top three, actually... That's pretty well done and actually looks good with the pixel-proof rendering.

That must be a disturbing sight to find in the mirror~

I honestly don't have a comment for this one. (I'm sleepy. Blame Thoad.)

Yay for Blobius. Blobius is cute and fail. Yes~

Made with your TrackPoint on your laptop? Almost deserves an honorary mention for Effort, then. Good job. (Another that was really considered for the top three...)

*headdesk* I think you're trying to mess with my head with your filenames sometimes...

Strop is a crime against humanity? You're both bogans. *stamps with bogan deward*

The entry that I did not forget to consider but forgot to post in the original version of the judging...
Also! *gives brazen fail medal* Because everyone knows making references to one self winning the ASC is fail. :3

Record time fail judging! W00t! (27 minutes, srsly, is you don't count the fail edit which is why the judging is reposted this much after AG midnight..)

As for next Monday... For it will be due Monday, kids. *pushes glasses up on nose*

Theme: The Purple Injection
Deadline: Monday, 1st of June


Theme may be interpreted broadly as well as taken extremely literal (or interpreted as I thought it if any of you randomly do that).

WE TRAI SO HAERD.

J00 IS MAKING FAORPLAY DDDD:

*sigh* as you say via AIM I nearly lost it when you used the link instead of the image for blobious, and exactly what way is he fail...? Like is he fail through your eyes or is his story, of which he can't fight crime for shiznit fails? I'm a little curious about that.

Also, I directly related "The Purple Injection" to Resident Evil, so expect something relating to that~

Nah, he's the same kind of winfail as other cute but somewhat useless at what they claim to be their purpose creatures are.

*sigh*
alright, here's my failsome contest entry.
Los Illuminados
http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/rr28/thoadthetoad/purpleinjectioncolored.jpg
Backstory:
Well the first thing that popped into my head when I heard "The Purple Injection" was "G-Virus". However I suck at liquid (as you can see) and am not as familiar with the G-Virus as I am with the Las Plagas. The Las Plagas was "reborn" using a g-virus sample saddler somehow managed to get his hands on (I have no idea how... maybe through krauser?). This is something of fan art, I guess, of re: 4 but it still relates to "The Purple Injection". How? The egg is injected into the bloodstream.

*Sigh* so there it is, I now have the low feeling cen has when something is "Wrong" with something he's proud of, and now I have more a thought to say sorry.

For once it's not a crack, so go ahead and look away if you must.

Only when I'm lacking sleep. Oh wait-

@JereN:
Lol, nice~ I've drawn with such before, it's far from impossible, it's just tedious. X) Hence, still an effort worth mentioning~

Yeah, purple injection sucks. At least dig your brain and find better ideas :P

Cenere: You won this time, so I guess the argument is closed. Thanks Zoph.
