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 frowny face was more for the people who were like "omgwtfbbq that has nothing to do with the theme!" But thanks for your condolences.
Ogt: No, neither Zophia nor I will tell you who the winner is. No even on msn.
Yeah, Ogt, that should be common sense. waiiit. Never mind, I used to beg strop to tell me who was going to win via AIM. He never broke. But yeah, asking them to tell you probably just makes them want to flick you on the nose. :/
Hmm, I think I might be even more stubborn than Strop, though this has not been tested. The chance of being wrong is there..
asking them to tell you probably just makes them want to flick you on the nose.
That as well. Especially because of two things: There is still time for people to enter. And we do not really care about the judging beforehand. But for people who feel the need to ask: The answer will always be "Cen". So, Ogt: I win.
My stubbornness is more a long-term than a short-term thing. That's why I have dreams.

I wonder why some people think that that kind of art is master pieces
Because it was innovative (read: new), and as a recognised innovation it was exemplar. Hence it would be natural to think of it, in that present, as a masterpiece. Dismissing it now is merely a process of hindsight.
There's not much in the way of innovation to be had nowadays, when it comes to conceptual expression. I suspect that innovation has moved into the realm of methods i.e. technologies.
You can be critical of this "innovation" all you like but similarly, to fawn over conservatist sentiments for the canon of artistic expression is something done by such as the neo-Classicist movement, which is big in the US but to me represents a commercial exercise in the destruction of artistic integrity- precisely the opposite of what neo-Classicists purport to do.
Thus both extremes serve their purpose by generating controversy and discussion, both reflecting and inspiring society. Think about that when submitting to this contest!
