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

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.

Meh, it was ok. But I don't know how to improve it, so I won't give it a bad review, I'll just walk away.
It's okay I guess....

lol that's a good one KR. Okay, finally, here's mine.

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq105/strawpony/cnystrop.jpg

The reason I felt compelled to enter this despite not really having the time to do so is because the theme aptly fell upon the occasion of Chinese New Year (which began 26th January this year, though the festivities go for 15 days).

I happen to know that this wouldn't be relevant to most of you (with the exception of Parsat). Well, in Australia and Malaysia (where I spent the last 3 weeks), CNY is a big deal, especially in the latter country, so you're fairly inundated with it. I used to feel that CNY was the amalgamation of blatantly materialistic sentiment and was therefore the bastion of misguided ideology but I got over that and instead started embracing the overly gaudy proliferation of red and gold lanterns, fire crackers and, of course, the notorious ang pao. Traditional CNY folk songs ran through my head until I wanted to smash my head through a brick wall (not such a good thing). I developed a curious desire to dress in traditional Chinese dress until I realised it'd be a one-time-only wear as I couldn't possibly wear such in Australia except maybe to the annual "Dag Nite" med student ball @ Monash or something.

In short, this all led to me wanting to share a part of my own cultural heritage, despite the fact that I was born and raised in a country, even a world apart from it.

As for the picture, well, to anybody who knows a smidgen about CNY the joke should be self-explanatory, but I'll explain it anyway- according to the Chinese Zodiac, 2009 marks the Year of the Ox. Hence Strop's impersonation (the Year of the Horse was in 2002, and there are 12 animals in the cycle). Note that I was not born in either the year of the horse, nor the ox, haha.

There you go. Culture!

Uh, your characters don't match the pinyin, unless you don't intend both to be the same phrase. That's Gong He Xin Xi, not Gong Xi Fa Cai.
