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 finally settled on the top three. It was difficult this week... I'll type the judging up soon, meanwhile I'll tell you that I like the idea of a crime theme...
don't really get it..how could the judging be so hard...if the judgment is based only for the artistic skills..overall quality, layout , how the stuff is placed in the pic etc. etc. so the winner would be either tiamont (or what it was)... or cen...so with these two...if it's hard to decide...you could flip a coin :P

From what I can tell it's not so much the presentation as it is how much it either makes you lul, or the way the theme is portrayed. Also extra points for paintz and whatnot.

JereN I don't think you have paid much attention to how this competition is judged have you?

The winner was easy, the rest was hard. Also, it's based on a LOT of things... Mainly visual appeal and some sort of 'oh hey' function with the pic (for example humor or thought provoking stuff). It has to be balanced, but fugly Paint art can win if the idea seems good enough.
Also extra points for paintz
No. No extra points for Paint entries just for being Paint. Extra points for awesome Paint entries as opposed to awesome GIMP entries, because it taks more work to be awesome in Paint.

It doesn't really rank anywhere. The only awesome that is more impressive than ordinary awesomes, is the awesome made from fail. And Paint is fail. On here, I've only seen Strop and Cenere make awesome from Paint, while several have made really sweet traditional art.
Was my jack sparrow bad -_-' anyways thats not fair, paint is alot easier, I wan't to see them drawn normally, besides, normal pencil is made by hand, the others, their techincnly not made by them, rather than a comuter program =(
Making AWESOME things in Paint does, because it is VERY DIFFICULT to make awesome things in Paint.
I have not seen awesomely made pics made in Paint in this comp in a while. Awesome ideas executed in Paint still have a fair chance of winning, but NOT because they are made in Paint.
And no, your Jack Sparrow was not bad, it was just mimicked.

That's not actually true. Some aspects of digital drawing is much easier than traditional art, but definitely not all aspects. I'd be kinda offended if you were to say about any of my digital drawings that the program did most of the work. 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.
