Bless you guys for entering <3 Normally I'm supposed to make another thread for the voting part, but I'm just gonna leave the voting part here. Making a separate thread can wait until next week's submissions. Here's what's happening with voting:

  1. Everyone is able to vote. However, the participants will not be able to vote for themselves, as votes towards themselves will not count.
  2. Remember that this is not a popularity contest. It's a competition of skill.
  3. Votes will be counted by post, not poll.
  4. All votes must have a reason for their vote. You don't have to be a GFX artist to list technical reasons, of course. That said, constructive critcism is highly encouraged.
  5. One vote per person.
  6. As for me as the host, I will give my vote near the end of the voting period. I plan on making (or at least, attempting to make) evaluations for all entries except maybe my own.
  7. This isn't a required part of voting, but if you would like to suggest themes for future GFX Bimonthies, go ahead. : >
I'mma quote one of my old friends Spitty on remembering things for voting.

  1. Does the signature fit the theme?
  2. Does it look pleasing?
  3. Do you think proper techniques were used?

Previous edit
Tentative title. Would appreciate suggestions for better titles. Also planned on doing this on the weekend, but let's start early, shall we?


Welcome to GFX bimonthy, where a GFX competition will take place every other week! Or at least I hope. It is heavily inspired by Signature of the Week, your run of the mill GFX contest where participants submit their GFX with a certain theme and people vote on whose is the best! Remember the following if you want to participate:

  1. Anyone can enter unless specified by me. Yes, even beginners can partipate! It's all good clean fun.
  2. Your entry must follow the theme and GFX type.
  3. Your entry must be within size limits. For this competition, the size limit is 800 px x 800 px. Of course, it can be smaller than 800 px x 800 px.
  4. Premade GFX is allowed.
  5. Work must be submitted before midnight GMT of the due date.
  6. All entries must include proof of work in the form of project files such as PSD and XCF.
  7. Plagiarism is absolutely, most definitely, and highly not allowed. You will be disqualified if I find you editing someone else's GFX without permission and banned from future competitions (if all goes well).
  8. Work must be submitted in a post here using the form below.

Theme: Freestyle/Anything Goes
GFX Type: Signature


Form and Example:

[insert entry here]
[insert forum code for image here]

Hmm, never thought about that. I don't see the harm in it, so I'll allow it as long as it follows the rules and theme.

Also as a general message to everyone else, y'all have less than twelve hours before submissions close and voting goes live, so any further submissions must be made by then.

This is a old one I do before quit GFX and start drawing

ALSO HOLY SHIT I DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL NOW I'M SO CARELESS Kamikazy's and Jay's entries are too big, but since this was something I completely overlooked until I had to check Jay's last minute resubmission for plagiarism I'll allow it ><;;

and technically sizes didn't really matter for this week so

Gonna hop first and vote for Kurochiie's entry.

Minus points for the use of a pre-vectored character instead of using blending but no big deal. Background choice is very fitting and provides contrast. Effects contribute to amplifying the image and give it some kick. They're not overused and it doesn't feel cluttery. The mark on the eye wasn't really needed but I assume it was used for balancing the red region with a bit of blue in. Objectively it can be a nice touch. Bonus points for not using ridiculous filters like the rest, high exposure and low contrast with tons of content blended in looks like a mess. Yours is clean, while providing enough to look at. Good job.

Also not sure about the image size though, doubt you'd fit that properly in a signature/userpage :P

I also vote for Kurochiie's entry~

The artwork really shows technique, specifically the lighting and depth of the image, which may normally take an average person years to master. Also the colors are well-balanced and the background supports the focal point well. And as stated by Flanster, it's clean and very nice to look at :)
