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.
(And this and this.) I like the story with the second one, btw. Imagewise, the other one is more of an injection, but they are both... Yeah.
Onwards!
First Place:
Strop Linkilink! I doubt anyone is surprised that he won with this. It's quite an interesting style for sure, interesting result too. And music can indeed be like an injection, though I'm not quite sure what purple sounds are like~ (And I can't read the nodes because they're a little bit too wavy and probably in the key I can't read anyway.) But good work, really.
Second Place

Since you said which one is supposed to be blue and which one is supposed to be purple, well... The one you meant to be blue has a purplish shade to it, while the one you meant to be purple is dark blue. The idea still goes through, though, that he picked the wrong colour while he meant to pick eternal life. For the record, I think the residue in the syringe looks like a mix of blue and purple. I find that interesting... Yes.
Third Place
Gantic
Functional you say? Mhm. I have no idea if your thoughts behind this are similar to what I see in it. But here it is.
The Rest.

That's... Scary. Reminds me a little of the dude who were gonna "grape the children".
jalex13
o.o I don't think that whale's gonna survive that... Also, a tip: Try cropping some of all that white out of your pic. It's pretty easy to do in Paint, just drag the corners of the white...
thisisnotanalt Linky! Well halo thar, mr trippiness.Nice plastic effect~

Not so much an injection as a slow dripping of acid onto an eyestalk. X) Kinda cweepy.
brooke_1997
Someone injected into the wrong place. o.o Purple bloodbath~
WackWeeper
I like the style~ A little bright for something that you gave a kinda dark description, though~
brenda_1997 Linky! (You might wanna crop images like this so there's less blank space.) Neat syringe~
Pois0nArr0w
Kinda odd blurring of the pixelated Paint lines. Understandable that he's screaming like that..
thoadthetoad Another linky! Yay for game reference. Also pretty nice syringe, though I still think you should have shaded the liquid a bit more.
Zega
That's... Simplistic. I know you can draw better than that, though.
FireflyIV Linkylinky~ Trippy indeed~ Pretty nice alignment to the perspective considering it's Paint work.
Cholokid
That hole looks like it hurts. The guy looks like the purple makes him really not care that it does... o.o
I really hope I didn't miss anyone this time... >_>
New round!
Theme: Infinity Deadline: 8th of June
NOTE: If you simply draw infinity like this, you most likely won't have a chance of winning. A creative variation of the symbol may have a chance, but the standard symbol for infinity is just - boring as an entry. Creativity encouraged!
Perfect idea, and thanks for giving the tip on shading, and cholo gave me some advice as far as the fingers... I hope I can get this next one fairly well *is putting a lot of effort into ASC entries nao >:U*

I've represented infinity at least three, four, five? times already. I hope I don't fail.

I'm sorry, I just felt like explaining this pun. It's a "urple" "injection" but it's also a "urple" injection and a purple "injection". It's "functional" and also functional. A one-to-one function is also known as a *drumroll* injection!
Wrong, actually. Most fractal flames aren't infinite- and many artworks made from fractal programs aren't technically fractals because of that.
*mumble* Haven't met a fractal that was not infinite. Might be that fractal programs does not make a true fractal, though, it looks pretty. ... Darn. Sorry, forgot I was not allowed to joke. Forget about the "unfair" and that.
oooh, this theme i can get into. in fact i could probably whipe something up pretty quick. but since my scanner doesnt work, I'm gonna have to take a picture of it with my camera, which has horrible quality D:
