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.

*falls over, groans* ... A bit, probably...

I just feel homesick, but that is basically the same.
Nooo. People do not care anyway.

Me neither. But the fish is cool.

You know, you are not really alloved to submit something you have made before the contest starts?
We would still like to see, though.

I'm not sure I'm getting mine either. It seemed like a great idea yesterday. Looks like the topview of a fish tank. Compared to the sun it looks like it's flying.

I'll submit this one instead and it comes with it's own poorly spelled description:

Crayon brush or actual crayon, Gantic?
I very much considered taking that angle to this, too... But good work. :3

I am totally working on mine and getting lost in effect brushes. This is not good.

Wow, Gantic FTW.

That's cool dude, without the description it would not be NEARLY as good, in fact, it would fail

Neither. Figured out how to approximate a crayon when I figured out how to approximate a pencil. It was just a small brush and jitter.

Ah, jitter. Scattering too? Pretty dang good replication of crayon effect.

Mine will carry too many obvious signs of premade brushes... Because I has dem... *sighs*

This is Phil, in a past life.

I kind of thought it was nostalgic because Phil is the present day and Voidan is from a past life.

Oh well.

If it doesn't fir the theme... I'll re-do it.

@Klaushouse:
He has already said how he did it~
Small brush, adjust the jitter. Quite possible the scatter too, I'm not sure. I don't know his percentages either, but it is surprisingly simple to make~

@slliM:
I think I'm understanding it the wrong way~~~

Jitter? Approximate a pencil? What program is this in?

I've always wanted to get a bit of pencil feel back in my lines...

Strop, anyone where you can adjust the brush settings. It most certainly works in Photoshop, I'm too lazy to check with GIMP...

Of course, programs like Corel Painter does their very best to imitate traditional media already... They have preset brushes for pencils and crayons and paints and stuff...
