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.

My personal reviews:

kacboy:
oh my.. Oh MY! ] kacboy!!
I can't believe you just copy/pasted the big pink rock from the foreground to the second layer! You did a biiiiig mistake here :/
(And by the way, yes lol some of the corals look like carrots )
Nice funny little entry by the way. Good luck on the Judging.

Cenere:
Really good, but it's not ugly!
I really think you're acting like Chuck Norris, when "the only time when he was wrong, is when he thought he was wrong". Know what I mean?
Really good details, especially the blood. I don't know how you manage!
Well, the shark and fish looked more like alien-fish-skineyed-violent-banalcolored-mutants.
Great entry. Deserves top 3. (I'm dumb. Not even three entries yet :P)

Working on my entry. Already did a little first sketch to find-and-correct ideas to make it good. Wish me luck!

Well, the shark and fish looked more like alien-fish-skineyed-violent-banalcolored-mutants.

Which are exactly (almost) what they are. Though the "shark" probably would be rather pissed to be called a shark.
But the fish is a super alien I-can't-draw-fish-so-I-hide-behind-the-explanation-it-is-from-one-of-the-worlds-shifters-are-native-to-thus-being-an-alien fish.

And bad moods get me easily when it comes to art.

What's this? Alt with a serious entry?!?!?!??!??

I really miss my PS CS3 Extended, but I made do with GIMP.

Abstract ftw. Also, the colors might be a bit messed up . . . .
