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.

On the one hand, there are certianly enough characters, although, there's not much in the way of font past the tags in the background.
I know :\\ I'm not confident with fonts, and in this case it would detract from the composition of the work. I need more help with it as it's a world unfamiliar to me.
But I'm totally not fussed, I mean, I didn't spray this on a wall, and I'm kinda depicting a scene within a scene, so production/piece probably doesn't apply. Call it a piece then :P

It's pretty difficult. There's also not really a way to teach people how to create their own font past telling them what the different aspects of font are, as the only real way to learn is to practice. But as you said, it wasn't really necessary for the piece.
As an aside, if I saw something like that on the street, I'd have thought it was a production of some kind due to the variety of characters, ie. one for each separate artist.
