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.

Oh and Cenere what do you have to do, draw a mod?

Well, you have to find that out yourself. I am just playing my theme-card, your job is to interprint it.

I thought I'd pop in to see how the judging went, and I agree that it is very difficult to judge a theme such as "dreams"! However I was pleased to see some trademark entries as well as some new developments.

A couple of things for the record:

shading aid crotch lines


Note that I never said anything about them crotch lines! I swear I didn't! When I said very subtle I was in fact referring to how the limbs transitioned into ribbons! Totally!

I think crimsonblade55's effort this time around is right up there but for a completely different reason than the lulz of $9000 HAIRCUT- effective use of lighting.

I reckon Cholokid should have written sch**** or something like that, since that would have made the joke even more obvious...to me...unless you don't know how to swear in German :P

And the new theme is moderators eh? I'll drop in something, though it won't be official. Well it would be official, just...just not an entry. Yeah.

COMING SOON!

Hmm I am thinking of an idea that is extreme...I don't think we have ever figured out what dank, devoidless, and Moegreche look like though. You guys have any ideas on that?

Dank looks like a character from bleach (huge eyes, white hair), Devoidless is a huge black dragon with a red goatee, and Moe is a brain a a jar, being dragged around in a small cart by Flipsky the robot.

Wow Cenere thats...an interesting interpretation on their appearances. I guess I can try, but a dragon...that may be a bit difficult. I shall try anyways...

Another character of hers


what!!!Gah fine I hope shes on, otherwise I will just not draw her in my submission because its not worth it. I decided am not going to try and draw all of the mods, just the ones that are easiest to draw in the manner I am trying to draw them.The reason being that AG cuts off after 600 pixels wide and I have very little room to work with because of this.

Unfinished ref of Zoph

She's often seen with a mazzelh on her shoulder. Avatar/character change for several reasons, mainly because I don't behave like Yazz on here, though.

And a tip, crimson: Draw your submission way bigger, then scale it down until it fits. I do that a lot now. Allows more precision.

I thought Voidy was a red dragon? Oh well, black works too~

hmm Zophia thats a good idea I suppose. I guess I can do that next time, but truthfully I already am done drawing two of the mods,and am too lazy to redo the drawing.
