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.
but since you have photoshop, can you not just put the quality on the highest, and use jpg?
umm that would do the exact opposite of what I want to do. Not only do .jpg's cost twice as much memory, but you lose quality, even on max quality setting, so no that would definitely not work. Which makes me wonder why anyone even uses .jpg's anymore outside of compatibility issues.

JPEGs are actually smaller than PNGs depending on the type of image, although I'm not sure how you're saving or converting to JPEG.
I have a converted JPEG version of your image at 848 KB and a PNG version at 969 KB. The two are nearly indistinguishable, but there is noticeable loss in the JPEG if you zoom in quite a bit, although the only bit I noticed was at the blue-green gradient.

Well, it did look suspiciously like that other pic.
PoisonArrow* Zophia, that pic I worked constantly on for along time, and it was really hard, I tried to make it look like that picture, because I used that picture to LOOK at I didn't touch the other picture.
