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.

Some of these are really good. I would enter, but I hand draw rather.... poor. (By that I mean like a blind person with no hands)

1ST PLACE - Cenere!
Just totally epic. You got the feedback, and I agree

2nd place - LonLonRanch

To everyone, I loved all the entries, and ya'll made it hard for me!

I'm sorry estel but after all those entries you just post the top three? That's pretty harsh to everyone, it's usually more respectful to at least put 6 or 7 of the entries so that everyone doesn't feel like their work was useless. Also why does everyone always think of arax or strop when they think top people! I am usually within the top 3 or 4 most of the time!

I AM UNDERRATED! :O

man, all I can do is hand draw and I can't think of anything good. I tried a little sketch about a box man, but it pretty much sucks. I'm just waiting for a "goth" theme or something like that.

Okay, Estel appears busy. I've taken an hour off, so I went back and annotated the results!

1st Place: Cenere

2nd Place: LonLonRanch (I call it "Zombie Diglett&quot- strop

3rd Place: Zophia- "What if?"

The other entries, in alphabetical order:

Apocalypse (I like the pun: "Chess Knight", lol)

Cholokid- portrait of Gandalf (the Grey)

KingRyan- "Black Bear on a Coal Pile on a Night Where There is No Moon - And it is Cloudy So the Stars Cannot Be Seen!"

Klaushouse- "God help us"

Plokkey- "Dude I'm over here"

Shermzx- untitled

Strop- Blinx's Last Day on the Job (oversized)

Special mention to izam_z who made a submission but was unable to upload it.

And now for boxes! Shermzx, that is just lulz.

I think I'll do a sketch for the fun of it, despite the fact I have a few major projects that have deadlines...
