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.

The original photo came from here and if Strop or Zophia or whatever mod doesn't like that then I'll just go out and buy a box to take a picture of. lol Except I'm a cheapskate and don't really feel like doing that.
From the very first post in this thread, regarding the rules:
1. Must be hand drawn, either on paper or in a program.


Also, I don't see a spoon in your entry.

To the rest of you: YAY!
Expect crazy judging tomorrow. Both Cen and me continue to not get enough sleep, so it shall be entertaining~

Sorry Zophia, I realized I screwed up just after I posted it. lol
Here's a redone one on GIMP. And the spoon is implied, how else do you eat "Chell" Pasta (i.e. the main character of Portal)? Unless of course, it's baked pasta.

Actually, I usually eat my pasta with a fork, unless it's in a soup. XD; (And I got the Chell reference the first time around~ *is Portal fan*)
I guess that explains why she said that you would be baked~

Later today, judging?

C: Oh God, so many pictures this time!! If I had known how many ideas people get from "Portals and Spoons", I would never had suggested the portal part... *stares at list with all the links*
Z:Isn't it supposedly a good thing that people got inspired?
Though, 19 is a bit many...
C: Yes...
Z: Well, let's get to it then? Who won last week? Or are we skipping the CE again?
C: Uhm.... I don't know... *searches bed for tabletpen* I'll check in a moment.
Z: >_> I'll check...
If this darn thing will load, that is...
C: Another reason why I am in pain from going through all them pages.
Z: Found a direct link to the last judging in my browser history. Any moment now, the horrible suspension caused by our faulty memories could break! Aren't you excited? 8D
C: *blinks, shakes head with a parently expression* Oh, yes, oh so very much.
Z: And... *several minutes pass* Why isn't this loading? ;_;
C: I don't know. It might have gone to the bathroom.
Z: IT LOADED! *confetti*
C: Hurrai... *waves little flag sartastically*
Z: Uhm. ... How could we forget Gantic's entry after being so excited about it a week ago?
C: Rather easily, it have been a week.
Z: And we haven't been sleeping enough...
But to get to the point:

This weeks Champion's Exhibition, is Gantic's Portal Technologies.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/blackcairn/AG/PortalTechnologies.gif
C: Not as good as the former one. The spoons look good and all, it is just not as amusing as some of your other entries.

Woohoo... *yawn* And for our crap... I mean drawings?
Z: We have some? I don't have one. ._. You have one?
C: Yup. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq1/Cerene_Cerine/spontalgun.jpg
Z: Cen... That's so stupid it's hilarious. X)
C: Why, thank you. *light bow*
Anyway, to the winner:

CRIMSON:
http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd349/crimsonblade55/Portals.png
C: This took... Long.
Z: Like, fourty minutes long.
C: *slight drool* Yeah. Uhm, again, nice expression, lol at the furry suit and the companion pepper (I want to se the sequel with Sas burning it!)
Z: Don't we see him burning capsicums all the time? But I agree. And I find the spoon design interesting. Also, of course it is a lie.
C: Yes, and second:

Thoad
http://i466.photobucket.com/albums/rr28/thoadthetoad/scan0018-1.jpg
Z:Because... It just has something about it.
C: And don't we all know the feeling of someone poking you in the back of the head with a spoon through a portal?
Z: Errr... Actually I don't. Is it just me? O.o
C: Uhm... ... Oh, look, the third place!!
Z: Yes, Ogt2!

Ogt2
There is no freakin spoon!
C: All the jokes... Or... the spoon joke, at least.
Z: Well, there is no spoon. And I really like his - chubby stick figures. :3
C: Yeah. Chell wouldn't have lasted long with that figure.
Z: Ahahahaha... Bad jokes aside, that was it for the top three. Yay!
C: And for the rest, randomness is random.

fST6
http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb19/fst6/spoon.jpg
Z: SPUUN SEZ HAI!
C: *stare*
Z: ... What? It does!
C: Sure... Just... Very loud... Uhm... Nothing else, I think. Though the rounding of the one end of the spoon should have been corrected.
Z: Also... *chews on entry* Typical fst6 Paint flavor, with slightly less of the minimalistic Pacman taste.
C: ... *walks off*
Z: Eep.
Uhm... *closes weirdness valve a little*
Cholokid!

Cholo
http://i534.photobucket.com/albums/ee348/Cholokid34/banana2copy-1.jpg
Z: Rejected reference~<3 Though the Rejected cartoons are more absurd than funny (to me, at least), I tend to find references to them pretty amusing. Including this one.
*looks around* Cen...?
Kay, uhm... Pixie.

Pixie

I can go Whut at this? Spoon -> portal = lightbulb. Uh huh.
C: *comes back with a glass of water and a glass with painkillers* What did I miss... Oh, Pixie. We all know portals change things. Or, well, not in Portal.
Z: But no one said it had to be that portal the portals referred to~ I still go whut.
C: *swallows a couple of pills, drinks some water* Nor did I. But yes, rather fascinating piece of work.
Z: And... ArmorHero.

ArmorHero
Seemingly too big
C: Yes, I like this one. It is bizarre.
Z: It is quite creative. Nice spoonhead~
C: Very. Fascinating.

Z: A portal in the - cereal?
C: To Narnia.
Z: To Narnia~ This wouldn't by any chance be related to something related to kingryan, would it?
C: There is a nice possibility. Prince Capsicum and all that.
Z: Yus.
For some reason I keep hearing the "It's Narnia!" in an "Itsa Mario!!!" tone of voice...
C: ... Weird.
Z: *druggy smile*
C: And...

Gamer4Lyfe
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/1462/spoonsnportals.gif
Z: Spoons. And a portal. And a reference to cereal which I'm too tired to understand. ;_;
C: The portal looks more like a magical and evil vortex.
Z: With a bad hair day. Kidding, considering the simple style it actually looks pretty good.
C: Aye.

Zega
http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr165/96Zega96/Spoonsandportals.png
Yes. Spoons and portals.
Z: He got the theme backwards. :3
C: Yes, he did.
Z: Minimalist? ... Do we have more to say?
C: Nope.

Z: Spoonsman. Creative, and bonus comment for being a scanned in one.
C: And... 31.
Z: Uh... Yes. Those pills kicking in?
C: *empty stare* My head still hurts, and now I have to pee. Just a sec. *walks off again*
Z: o.o *blinks* Uhm...

You gotta be careful where you leave your portals. The bottom of your cereal bowl, for example, is generally not a good choice.
*waits* Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen....?
C: *walks back, zipping the zipper* Yesss...?
Z: You couldn't have waited?... Uhm, judging nao plz~
C: I really had to go, okay. Hmm, I am hungry. I wonder whne we will be able to get a portal up in a tree.
Z: Good question~
C: *longer break due to talking in the phone with mom* Huh? Where were we... Tuna?

Ubertuna
Umm... Hai thar
Z: I think it's cute.
C: Very so. And simple.
Z: *nod*
C: Hmm...

Necromancer
http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp231/necromancerlord/ApertureSceincePasta.jpg?t=1235956889
Z: This amuses me quite a bit. I don't know what else to say about it, but it is amusing~
C: But there is no spoon.
Z: No, but it's cereal. I bet there's a spoon in the package as a gift from GLaDOS. Since cereal approved by her is likely to make you want to dig your eyes out, and spoons are quite fitting for that.
C: .... *gulp*
Z: ^^ Next?
C: Hmm, we got...

KR
Oh Gods, so many...
Z: kingryan's? Yus, the unsolvable cases... Nice composition, though someone should teach that detective to look a bit further...
C: *curses wildly* If I had a portal, I would put it near icecream, but each their dream, huh.
Z: Ice cream... *dazed*
C: And with that we go on to

Pedspog

Z: Spoons are clearly at high risk of being contaminated with portals. little person needs to quickly jump back~
C: I wonder what would happen if portals contaminated forks instead.
Z: The fork was never invented. Sporks, on the other hand...
Oh, and I like the looking Os and the E going NOMNOM.
C: Suuure.

Jaza_m
And they keep coming!!
Weird. Plain weird.
Z: Uh. Yes. Uhm...
C: Look, the last one!! *ignores lag of comment*
Z: The comment lags??
C: My head does. Anyway:

MikeReject
Lalala
Z: Throwing and catching a spoon through portals?
C: Would probably be fun. Actually being two in Portals would be rather fun.
Z: *noddles* It looks a bit like a rush job, though.
C: It probably was.
Z: Hmm.
You know what?
C: Uhm, no?
Z: I don't think we should do the judging in the evening next time. >_> It drags on.
C: Correct. I even had the time to colour an entire picture...
Z: Wow. And, it's past my bedtime now... Quick, think of a new theme!

C: Uhm... This?
Z: O.o Nice colouring!~ But... No Tsubasa in the theme. >_>
C: Naaaw.... Cosplaying then? Because... I have no reason...
Z: Don't think there's enough OCs in AG... Random suggestion: tablets?
C: Oh, like... Tablets and pills?
Z: And tablets.
C: And tablets.
Z: So tablets, tablets and tablets it is?
C: More like tablets, pills, tablets and tablets...
Z: Can't we just leave it at Tablets?
C: Naw.... Okay....

Theme: Tablets
Deadline: March 9.


Z: You sure it's March 9th?
C: I just checked.
Z: Oh good. Then we're done?^^
C: Yes, please. I haven't had dinner yet > <
