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.

This is Phil, in a past life.

I kind of thought it was nostalgic because Phil is the present day and Voidan is from a past life.

Oh well.

If it doesn't fir the theme... I'll re-do it.

Hmm,if I had been at home, I would have shown you some of my crappy drawings from my childhood (I drew better then, than I do now, though).

@Klaushouse:
He has already said how he did it~
Small brush, adjust the jitter. Quite possible the scatter too, I'm not sure. I don't know his percentages either, but it is surprisingly simple to make~

@slliM:
I think I'm understanding it the wrong way~~~

Jitter? Approximate a pencil? What program is this in?

I've always wanted to get a bit of pencil feel back in my lines...

Strop, anyone where you can adjust the brush settings. It most certainly works in Photoshop, I'm too lazy to check with GIMP...

Of course, programs like Corel Painter does their very best to imitate traditional media already... They have preset brushes for pencils and crayons and paints and stuff...

Get yourself Artrage, Strop. It has an actual "I am a real pencil"-brush, along with crayons, paint and so on...

Okay, I just shot my laziness and looked at GIMP...
Paintbrush settings, apply jitter. Apparently GIMP's jitter is the same as Photoshop's scatter. In Photoshop the jitter relates to colour...

Artrage is free?

The trial is. It has paint, pencil, marker, crayon... paint scraber thing. The layer and all the other cool stuff does not work in the trial, though.

Forgot to say it was in GIMP... There's a blur and change in opacity too. I don't remember my exact settings, but there's a little leeway.

Artweaver has a variety of stuff like Corel and it's completely free, but obviously it's not as good as Corel. I'm not sure how good it is (of the program and brush quality) since I haven't used it much, but the default settings make everything look like marker so some tweaking is needed.

alright, I got it done. If Nostalgia has to do with "sweet memories" then I think this goes with the theme. Unlike most of my tries in the comp, here's one fueturing my favorite OC, the Nergyl Child.
So sweet yet so Sour
