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.

I totally agree. They just need to come out with a crayon that gives a gloss/shiny effect. I tried white, but it gives more of a blur effect than anything. :<

The secret is not no color the white (highlight) areas, just leave the paper white in those areas.

Somehow I can not find myself to make fire. I'm not sure, it's just one of those things.
So I apologize for the suckiness.

Quick sketch for the sake of getting back into drawing, along with having a reason to go "Zophia, when you have time and energy to fight with me, you have time and energy to judge this."

*hijakcs thread*
ARWRW! New theme, while waiting:
The Way of Moderation!
Because it needs a little mention, and might give some interesting images.
No, it does not have to be the WoM or related to it, it can be just what it says: "The way of Moderation" whatever that gives you.
And I will judge, because... then it gets done:P
How is 13th of January to you?
So yeah:P

Here is mine. "The way of" made me think of ninjas and samurais so this is what came up.

It would be a good time for... I'm not sure what I'm talking about, but I'm sure someone knows. Might have something to do with dinosaurs.

Bankylosaur?

Kyu. ... I can't post any pictures along with this for the ones who didn't post a link to their submission, because my browser is still being strange with that... "Copy image location", I miss thee... All missing entries can be found between page 678 and this page.

But anyway.

You really do show some nice progress with your shading skills here. You've come a long way with your techniques since you started entering the ASC.

New leaves~ It's nice with the spring regrowth, no? Nifty owl.

Who seemingly didn't leave a link!
Nice continuation, the fella's still cute, though the theme of the pic is more recycling than renewing~

Again the url issue...
I'm not sure which side is the renewed one, as strips are usually read from left to right (when not in Asia), but the right side looking more wobbly then the left. Good concept, though.

It drops, and it grows and it grows and it grows and ... it BURNS. I'm slightly wtf'd out by this, but, okay.

Link to hugetastic scan.
*grins* I could totally see something like that being advertised... Heh~ You should take Bronze's suggestion for the shine, though, leaving some of the white from the paper to shine thorugh would probably help you get the shiny effect.

whimsyboy
And again.
... That's what I call incoming destruction, not renewal...

Cenere
Again, but it's liek right up above this post or at the bottom of last page...
PHOENIX! Fwoosh. Amazingly creepy looking chicken on fire. O_o...

By now you may have noticed a distinct lack of a top three. That's because I haven't figured it out yet... This is just a list of the entries in order, with their comments... I'll return shortly with the winners. Shortly hopefully not being the usual month. x_x

Or maybe it's the Mad Rooster descended from the now zombified Raptor. Also, yes.

Burn with the gloves, little grill chick...

Why does it look like that bird is missing it's tarsometatarsus?

My 'glorious' return starts with a simple yet creepy drawing of what an evil character would do if he or she won the WoM.
