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.

I tried using the blur tool but when I did it just didn't look right which is why I posterized that layer to make the crab sort of stick out more.

May I try my hand on it? Out of curiosity, of course. And I kinda like the concept.

Lol.
Nope, it's just one of their random designs. The base form would be

with the latter being a good example of a fire or ice elemental. Females have fur on their head and down their neck, but the tail turf is something that is more common to female fires.

I should make a thread about them, shouldn't I...

Hopefully the judging won't be as literal as the Poltergeist round (even though I won that one so I shouldn't complain)...... at least i went for the semi-literal (if miss-spelt) "under the C" :P

No comment.

That's what she said.

Children please.... do we really live in an age when someone can't say big and long and not have sly comments amde at them :P

Hey, I said poltergeist. I wanted to see flying stuff in a storm D: It would have been awesome! Or frozen bowls because it is snowing or something!!
It was a good theme.

But good pun.

=O

Don't bring that flawed round of judging back up! I am still sore from not winning that round...WHEN I SHOULD HAVE!!!

Just kidding!

Won't Zega win if it has to be 'under' the sea?

Hmm...
