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.
uoohhhhhhhh the mystery explained! I bow down before thine depth of knowledge.
^^ *is still a donaldist* Man, I could continue right down that lane on the nostalgia theme, but I think I'll go more personal on it... Because trips down memory lane are fun and painful. Yes. I shall possibly make tons of personal references no one else will understand. Or maybe just do a cave painting.
you drew a pony-like ninja doing a substitute trick...
I remember that! It was an entry for... What was it an entry for? One of the rounds of Art Skills or GFX Battle for sure, but which one...
i spotted a hidden mickey in the donald's duck picture!:P
I should totally have added a REAL hidden Mickey or some equivalent of Rosa's D.U.C.K hidden signature - but couldn't think of one or where to hide it.
since my com was rendered useless by myself,i had a computer of myself you see.. then now the "ublic" computer of my family mouse's is not so smooth
Nostalgia is my territory. I really can't think of what exactly to draw though. What would make the most impact on Strop? *researches Strop's childhood*
*biiiig smile* Though it is going to be another dark picture (those do not win anyway, so is not really competition to the rest of the pictures), this is going to be gooood>:]
The term nostalgia describes a longing for the past, often in idealized form. The word is made up of two Greek roots (νÏÏÏÎ¿Ï nostos "returning home", and Î¬Î»Î³Î¿Ï algos "ain", to refer to "the pain a sick person feels because he wishes to return to his native home, and fears never to see it again". It was described as a medical condition, a form of melancholy, in the Early Modern period, and came to be an important topic in Romanticism.

Interesting how this competition has become more and more aimed at Strop... I suppose that is a side effect of the way he judges? Not saying anything against it or saying that you work by aiming at Strop, Gantic~ Just finding it interesting.
yeah, your TOTALLY one for bestiality your freaky pony-anthro-kitty-man thing.
So yeah, I'm not a fanboy unless you catch me out >:3
I caught u mr. RASENGAN, I had to read my friends books to figure out what the heck that means. "Who the heck where's a mask under another mask?!" "Why, Strop does of course!" ~joke taken from naruto ep. 100, I used to be quite a narutard, till my grandpa (whom I watched with) passed away.
now that someone posted, I can say that I was suddenly inspired! Unlike most entries, this one is going to feature the Nergyl Child, of which is my favorite O.C. Let's just say the title says: Seems so wrong but feels so righT. Codname ST.
either way, I think I'l lhave fun making it, and yeah, it's on paper, I hope the details will show for once <.<U

That was a joke. It would be more a joke if I drew a dead moth on a windowsill. Nostalgia has a greater effect when there is some commonality, that quintessential feeling of home and the want of home.
I could draw a wide empty street on a sunny day, a few Hondas and Toyotas parked along the sidewalk, trees and lawns, and 60-70% of the picture is blue sky.
Or an empty room with a hardwood floor and walls painted white, sunlight splayed on the ground and a corner of it up the wall taking something from something I wrote some years ago: Curtain filtered window light cast across the floor In the hours before the night they pitter patter out the door
It wouldn't matter if it doesn't mean anything. There is only so much that can be conveyed and that can be magnified by the viewer's interpretation, and that is evidently what I put into my game comments sometimes, especially the ones that have that ineffable quality about them.
To render the ineffable feeling of nostalgia and not specifically the theme and meaning of nostalgia is really what I'm going for. Not just to whoever happens to be the judge of this competition, regardless of however helpful that may prove to be, but to everyone.
