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.

@Strop:
Well, you see... There's this box, called the Black Dragon Box or something like that... And the game starts by the player having to go through a bunch of quests to find that box. And somewhere in that quest-chain, the box gets stolen by Sneevils. And you spend a lot of time fighting your way through them, only to find out that they threw out the content of the box (a dragon egg, btw)...
And there's also a quest-chain where they are attacking a keep for the sake of all it's boxes... They wants all your boxes!
Generally, you just hate the Sneevils where ever they show up, and they are obsessed with boxes.
Oh, and hurrsy for someone getting a reference I don't even get myself. X)

You know, solid snake from metal gear solid. I figured I could make SOME joke about him and his box, considering it's been done a million times before.

@Cenere:
Touchpad isn't that hard to draw with, if you get the feeling of it...
