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.

Accidentally pluck yourself with your own poison needle again stroppy 'ol buddy?


Am not a poison user!

Anyway, the other thing I wanted to say was to Zophia: you don't need to feel compelled to make a 'constructive' criticism on every piece that you see, nor feel bad if you can't think of something. It's not as if we're going to think that you're one of those fangirls who ttly OMGFAV'D everything they see in the hopes that one of those faves will translate into a watch or something.

That's a pitiful ninja...unless of course you use explosives. Otherwise you lose my respect as a Ninja and I will pillage your village as well as burn down your Dojo.

LOL.
Dude, that was the least ninja-y thing I have ever heard of....hilarious though.
So I'll spare your dojo, for the time being.

It was just that line separating the upper and lower part of the beak. Rhino horns aren't split, and you don't really notice that line on penguins... Just that line. Nothing else. And it's an awesome entry the way it is, so just ignore that I said this.


Just as the rhino's face looks out of place on the penguin. With the inclusion of the lines though, it was more "Happy Rhino Grumpy Penguin". The other pic was going to be called "Confluence about a Penguin (or Rhino's Head)" which gives it more disambiguation.

...oh wait a second I forgot Gantics entry wasn't supposed to be funny was it....


Who says it's not funny? (Dramatic) Irony is funny, but not as funny as the other stuff in the picture.

The reference wasn't random so much as the way it was all put together. I can be quoted as saying "I am a banana" back in the Culture round in my response to being exposed as a non-Chinese speaking person of Chinese ethnicity (banana = yellow skin but white on the inside), which is where the reference comes from.

I started out with "oh, this is a Rejected reference but how the heck is Cholokid going to put in a banana from portals?" Really caught me by surprise!


You look more like a Twinkie, you ABC (assuming).

I do not really like tag-style writing


It would generally be considered bubble or block style.

As for the new topic. Very....odd. But I'm looking forward to coming up with something.

You know that feeling you get? Where it feels like someones jabbing a spoon/spork into the back of your head and even though you look to the back of you and say "STOP IT", but no one is there, jabbing the alleged spoon/spork into your head? Did I mention that this feeling is caused by your brother when you forgot to go to the family reunion and he had a protal machine? HE's getting back at ya.

This picture makes me depressed because it reminds me of one of my characters. It saddens me...really.

I'm not that arty but I hope this is ok. The quote "the devil dwells within" is from Bill Bailey discusiing his use of an irregular interval for his doorbell.

It is a very special portal that turns spoons into light bulbs (yes that is supoosed to be a light bulb).

Yeah, I follow in the footsteps of my traditional art HERO, barfquestion. He can be found here which is where most of my insanity of the drawing comes from. He's like, my idol of all my traditional drawings, and if you look at his daily comic (and animations), you'll see just how crazy I can get. This kinda comes from his "species" as you might call it, called the barfquestions, they're little retarded stick figures that are cut and don't make any sense. They're awesome.

I just noticed Gantic had said this

I was mainly saying that because I was referring to my own and Cholokids and I had forgotten at the time that you had posted your submission after me,so I tried to make a joke out of it,and...yeah.
