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, I think we missed something.

Alt, since you got the DM by submitting something like that with such a carelessness, we will give you a nice little PENALITY:

Alt, your next submission for this theme will have to implement a mazzelh* as the main character.

*Mazzelh: See Zophia's art thread.

Fairy tales and adventures? If I don't at least make the top three, I will either get swine flu or die. Basically that may be the same thing. This is pretty much my alley, thanks for making this the theme.

Keep in mind that I have no experience drawing with a touchpad (no, I don't have a mouse) and I've never drawn a mazzelh before. This one has no legs :|
If I was to Write A Book Featuring a Mazzelh, Then This, Pray Tell, Could Very Well be the Cover of Said Volume

I didn't even start on my entry for the last round. Then again, I've only made like 3(?) posts in the past week.

One of my idiosyncrasies, or at least a defining characteristic, is the tendency to ask for specifics, like with this theme. Actually, no, not exactly with this theme. Or maybe yes.

How exactly would you describe "fairy tale"? Would it necessitate the inclusion of some fantastic creature? Mystical element? Anachronistic fashion? Peculiarities? Subtleties? Sword and sorcery? Fantasy without the science?

Hmm.....I dunno Gantic. I mean, most of the fairytales I know have some kind of magic or evil witch or dragon in them. Even Little Red Riding Hood has a talking wolf...

I think you will probably have to have something mystical...but I don't really know.
