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.

So instead of poor New Zealand, it is poor Australia?


No. The setup was poor so the entire thing suffered. I probably won't do any more to my current entry so it may suffer as well.

Shin, you pulled a gantic, but that more seems like a car crash than anything else.


Raise your hand if you know why I find this one offensive but not the previous one.

*Raises his pen-...pencil. Yeah, pencil. You can't prove anything*

Is it because Shin explained what it meant?

Maybe it's just because you mentioned his name from my graphic? I don't see what's so bad about it.

The only thing I can think of is that Shintetsu's entry doesn't have a hidden message to it, it doesn't appear one way but be truthfully another. hmm...

Probably because saying "a gantic" is objectivising a person; a person who is normally vibrant. Saying "a gantic" would be putting Gantic as an object; void of any purpose save for the namesake and raiment of an artwork being "a gantic" itself.

Alt,

if that were true, then he would be upset when my entry was called "a gantic," however, as he stated he was not. So there is something else bugging him...

*scratches chin in a thinking manor*

Probably because while Gantic's entries have a profound meaning behind them that not everyone is able to figure out, while Shin's is not a pic with a deeper meaning behind it. . .so the generalization would be incorrect, wildly so, and therefore offensive.

I would think the comparison made between Shin's entry and a car crash as well as calling it a 'gantic' in the very same line might be a bit ... Ehm... According to sentence, a 'gantic' is potentially = car crash.

Well, whatever the reason I am sorry to you Gantic, and I'll be sure to use the phrase "Pulled a Gantic" more accordingly.

As a note, when I say "Pulled a Gantic" it's normally because I don't really understand what something, or a picture, means. Mainly because Gantic has had that effect on me for about 7/8 of his entries here.

Also his writings.

Didn't you make that for something else though, samdawghomie? One of the rules is that the picture mst be drawn for this competition. I noticed you posted that one in the thread you started way before you posted it here, so... Just questioning if you actually made it for this theme.

I didn't make for a specific theme, I just thought it be a creepy dream.
