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.

Getting rid of filler spam and responses to judging that were made before the judging was.

Ne, judging. First time in quite a while that I'm doing it on my own, and if I don't get Cen back soon I'll probably need to hand it over to someone else, because I don't get it done on time.

That aside, this was really hard to judge D:
Also, if I miss 'e's here and there, it's because my e key broke. Highly impractical. Comments on the pics will also be kept somewhat short.

Champions exhibition:

Potentially the longest entry in the ASC...

First place:

Not that your more elaborately detailed works haven't been really good, but your observation about what wins in this comp is correct... And hey, you're pretty good at that kind of thing too. So grats on winning~

Second place:
Cenere
http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq1/Cerene_Cerine/img001copy.jpg
I really recent how Cen with his huge lack of self confidence and bad luck with critique wrote that I begged him to make this his official entry again, specially because every time I place Cenere's entry in the top three I feel paranoid because we're friends in real life and at least one person has already stated he thinks I'm doing it because of that. I'M NOT.
(Also deleted a few of Cen's post upon request.)
I just think this pic deserves second place, regardless of who made it.

Third place:

Possibly the entry this week that amused me the most... Imagine the bullets in those guns... Imagine the magma-bleeding shot-wound-craters...

All the rest in the order they're pasted into my .txt file:

Colourful. Verily. War on drugs?

I actually liked the first version of this one better. But uhm, simple depiction of the explodey thing that is war.

I have only 'whut' to say to this one. Normally your entries are flying high, but this one went over my head.
It's very pleasing graphics, though.

Would possibly have made more sense if the sticks were visually numbers, but lulz.

Zega
Right here!
I think this is definitely on of your better entries, Zega. Though th background seems a bit too peacful for a war setting~

Remnants of war. Not much to say here, he's to long gone to hear it anyway. The skull, that is.

This is in my opinion almost outright beautiful (and something I'd actually consider hanging on my wall in big format), but just not quite - wary nough to place. It does have a sense of distant doom coming at ya, though.

Your floodfilling precision needs work~ But yah. Kinda wish we'd never gone past the arrow stage.

NO. NO RLOAD, PEEZE!

Well drawn gun, makes bettr sense with the addd smok. Oh and, did you post link for your reference pic? I guess I should bash you about that. *bashes you with a canoe paddle*

Motivational posters like that have always seemed weird to me. Are people really patriotic nough for posters to be effective?

This is a very well done drawing, but it just doesn't really articulate the theme. It's a very nice portrait, though.

Very likly to be true. Good shading~~~

Uh oh, they don't have good odds, do they? Interesting shortcut to drawing a crowd~

And with that, we're done. Or I'm done. Excpt I wanna show you this almost-done drawing I was making, relevant to the theme (not rally for it, since I can't participate).

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z121/Mazzelh/Picture51-1.png

Will post it in my own thread once it's finishd.

Theme: Crime
Deadline: Tuesday 26th of May


And my finger really hurts now. That e key requires hard pushing to register it. :<

That's all~

Since my last one didn't quite get judged I've changed things... I'm not sure why the criminal has a mangled hand

But I'll admit that some think two brush strokes and fifty filters means they've made a drawing, and that I think those people are wrong.


Hmm....you mean LIKE THIS!!!!!

You make too many srs and depressed posts for me to realize when you're trying to joke..

Also, that may have been the most typo'd judging post evah.

Recent: meant resent...

hmm you know I don't know how,but I didn't even see this whole entire page...

Yes!

Actually, your statement was veritably unsane. try the Neverending Story if you're unsane enough. And nao I'm bweediiiiing. . .Zoph. . .modviolence. I guess it's legal in the art forum. Then again, if -mods- are offtopic and non-PG 13 here, then who knows what the hell will happen. I should practice in GiMP and make an AMW character. . .I suck at anything but hand-drawing though.
