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 one for the image:
Press the download button, and use the url that shows up in the urlbar.
Also, if you only want to show a small image/preview, while linking to the fullview, you can right click on the image (the regular one, not the download one), and depending on whether you use firefow or Internet explore, you can choose to copy image link or view properties and copy the link that shows up there.

And I should really get my tablet installed once more.

yea its nice to have a tablet once you get use to drawing with it a mouse is like using a brick to draw stuff. It took me a like 6 hours to draw this mostly for the chainmail , all hand drawn no textures. After I got my base done I ran it threw some filters in GIMP which made it look a lot better. I use Mypaint, which is a opensource painting program its still in development so it does get a few bugs but its great cause it can handle drawing on larger images without getting so laggy like in GIMP and the brush customization is great.

Does anyone have to take her place, considering there is still one judge? The only reason for two judges was that there was a tie, so one judge is fair enough.
