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.

I know....I never said it was a bad thing and I could see the reason why that was not done.

I have GIMP, but I rarely use it. It's way too complicated.

Spirit of the Forest: The Changing of the Season

It is sort of a mix between a Ent and that thing off of Princess Mononoke.

I just realized the globes should be leaves falling. Nvrmnd. I would mess up the shape of the leaves. Oh well. Can I use this entry instead?

Guess what! I'm bored and so I'll just do a mock judging. But be warned, I'm also sleepy and might be a little mean, because this was a complete MS PAINT FEST!!!!

Da Winna Mon! HECTIC the lil hermit. I truly do believe this is the best one. The pumpkin is great, nice shading. It is really giving off a great vintage vibe, like an old Norman Rockwell painting. Though I do wish you could of defined the ground.

Da Rest

Zega: Nice and simple. Clouds are a little to flat. Someone suggested that you should of put a leaf on the ground, and I completely agree because I'm not seeing the Autumn relation. If the judges think it fits the theme, and if they do a 2nd and 3rd place you might place.

Pixie: Nothing much to say about it since that is what you wanted it to look like. Some white areas could of been fixed if you had felt like spending a little more time with it. Also wish it wasn't a jpeg but I forget about that myself all the time.

Dudeguy(BUDDY): Uh? Is that a worm in an apple? Don't know if I would of known it to be for the Autumn theme without the title.

Marton: Odd looking trees, did you really have to copy and paste them? I would suggest practicing shading, simple cell shading really makes MS Paint pictures stand out. The sky is a shade of blue that is just to dark, maybe add clouds? Simple things could of been done to beautify your picture, and none of them take very long. And another victim to jpeg.

Nilo: Hmm, I like it. Maybe some more tree detail. One thing that really bugs me though are the circle leaves. I know you put them to fill up the empty space, but it might of been better to of just plain left them out.

Gantic: I like it. Simple. But maybe just a little to simple to win. AND, you actually took the time to make a leaf, everyone else just did circles or rectangles...

Jdogg: Cool, almost gives off one of those optical illusions. Its like a Autumn disco party.
