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.

This next image is not an official entry- it's sloppy and most of its appeal is based on an injoke with Klaus. So:

You consider that sloppy?I have seen official entries from you that didn't look half as good,but maybe its just me liking the glowing red eyes and bright from what looks like the rhinos hand.How did you do the whole glowing eyes thing anyways?

Like the time I tried to use a combination of MS Paint and Open Canvas for the Night round, god that was fail xD

But yeah, I consider it sloppy because I was doing it as fast as was humanly possible (under an hour). It just looks fancy because of the glow and the splashes of texture brush. The glow was done using layers/brushes set to "addition" mode as opposed to "normal".

well I couldn't find the addition mode on Photo Shop so I am wondering what program you are using,but anyways I started screwing around with some of the modes on Photo Shop and ened up with something that looked demonic.

No this is in no way an official entry

Not sure what the interfect in PhotoShop is like, since I used GIMP. But I'm pretty sure you can change the layer and brush modes in PS...it's nothing to do with filters or effects!!!

...how did I end up saying "interfect" instead of "interface"?

This is why one should never mix studying with recreation!

Oh yeah, my browser was acting funny and I didn't notice as the posts originally went over the page. Before I deleted one!

I haven't commented on your images because the latter isn't official and the former I don't think I've seen. Was it official?

the second one is an edited version of my official entry,which is on 309.I can't say it is probably one of my funniest,but I am not sure if I will ever be able to pull off those same grass effects like that in the near future,as I did not save the original presets for the brush I had(In photo shop it allows you to change settings for the brush itself,and when you do this you can save those settings as things called presets.I was saying that I didn't do that,just so you know what I am talking about)Anyways whatever the case my official entry is on 309

No....
Judging delayed because misunderstandings from my side let to an argument, and now Cen is doing the usual "all my fault" thing, while it really is quite the opposite.

And Cholo. I liked you first entry better.

all my fault... it is... but I have commented each entry now, just waiting for Zophia to decide if she still wants to be a part of it (seemingly not)......
