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.

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

Darn.
Alt, it looks quite awesome, that.
And the blue could need a bit of smudging/blur tool, perhaps. (Crab related)

The lines were a lot smoother in GIMP :/

Btw, the little wave thing is the word 'ocean' put through a heavy ripple filter~

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...

That looks cool. Is that a chalk tool? It makes the water look nice.

I think that it is actually a crayon tool. It is in Paint on Windows 7.

I does like the tool
