Aaand submissions closed! I'll go ahead and anounce next week's prompt, since I've been dying to see this one in action and it might take a little bit of prep, depending on who you are. You guys need a little less dependence on some things, so next week I'm putting restrictions on what you can do! Here's the list:
- The blend mode Luminosity is banned.
- The adjustment layer Gradient Map is banned.
- Text is not allowed unless used as decoration (such as using typography textures like this one) or as a watermark.
- Fractals, bokehs, and anything focused on being sparkly are banned.
- You cannot use more than 4 adjustment layers.
I'll be giving out a little GFX piece to every voter, just to say thanks for voting! Here's what they might look like:
Things to remember about voting:
Updated!
- Everyone is able to vote. However, the participants will not be able to vote for themselves, as votes towards themselves will not count.
- Voting is about who has the most skill.
- Votes will be counted by post, not poll.
- One vote per person.
- This isn't a required part of voting, but if you would like to suggest themes for future GFX Bimonthies, go ahead. : >
- You must have a valid reason for your vote to count. Vague things like "this looks better than the others" and "this is perfect" and off-topic statements like "because I said so" are the only things that will not make your vote count. That said, constructive critcism is highly encouraged.
- Does the signature fit the theme?
- Does it look pleasing?
- Do you think proper techniques were used?

Hi, I really don't know anything about GFX but I'll be voting since I promised to do so.
I thought every entry was really good, but in the end it came down to what stood out to me the most.
I'll be voting for "Lucid", I find it really nice to look at while still capturing my interest. I really like how I didn't have to stare at the image to see everything that's going on and the colours in the background helped with that.
Also sorry Jay, I kinda had to disregard your submission because I knew it was yours and idk the rules around that but I didn't want to be biased :c.

I want to say to all artist who joined this bimonthy a congratulations for all your works! I honestly feel envy on the skills of the following artist but anyway here's my vote it's my first time to vote though and I'm not experienced as others do.
My vote goes to Timeless I was mindblown on this entry. Like when I saw the render, I'm expecting entrants to make it cute because it's a rabbit ofc but this one is super unique. The concept is really nice and there's something mysterious about the girl makes me so curious about. Although the girl could have another color aside from blue and orange palette. I can't say anything more, it's really amazing >///<)b
I am not a GFX artist nor do I know anything about it. However there was one piece that really stood out to me. I'll be voting for Timeless. I think this artwork does a great job of using shadows and highlights but what most stood out was the window behind the girl that shows different weather conditions and it leaves me thinking why the artist put that in there. Although I somewhat feel like the girl is a bit out of place, I still think this is a great artwork! 
Very mysterious~
Very mysterious~gonna go against these other people and vote for あなたにムチュー. While it is what you'd expect of this render, it still works well and looks p good imo :^)
is she meant to be hovering like that in the timeless entry...?

There actually aren't any rules regarding biased voting, since I can't prove prejudiced votes like I can for plagiarism (most of the time, anyway). I leave that all on the moral conscious of the person that votes. That, and if you have a good enough eye, it's possible to guess who made what based on the style and I can't stop a person from doing that.-Akito wrote:

Though, if it becomes obvious that a person is biased by repeated votes for a particular person and I have good reason to think so, I might do something about it~
I don't even know if my vote counts cause I'm a shitter nobody, but in the case that it does; I vote for Timeless. Fuck, that shit so on fleek, even mothafuckin Jesus in on board wid it. Gud shit. (Translation: I really like how the colours are contrasting, but still manage to blend in to the environment smoothly. There's also a lot of depth in the image itself, and it looks cleanly edited. Props to the artist.)
This is why I love you dude. ♥Phenlex wrote:

I also agree, of all the entries, Timeless is the only one who used a different technique and really executed everything well.
My vote definitely goes to Timeless, everything is just perfect, the colours, the setting and how you positioned the render so it looks like she is sitting on something. Truly beautiful 💝.
My vote: Timeless
This was so well put together that it could pass for an original illustration. Also, this is different from every other attempt and a very good change from the usual go-to style, and it came out perfect. I like the colors too, kinda gives out the Halloween vibe imo. Congratulations to the artist.

Vote : Timeless ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Reason: It looks perfect, I mean the render suits really well into the picture.
The color sheme is also very cool imo, i like the fact that is soo "dark" and then
you see some stuff with good lightning standing out of the picture.
The other entries are pretty good too c;
but the Timeless one caught my eye in an instant.

What stands out is the difference with the other works, and the render comes to agree with the background, it is simply spectacular. Like the other resources used as the shines and lamps that come to give a touch type 'Halloween'. It is also characteristic of the image that the filter put is not what most stands out by focusing on the image itself. It was definitely a great job.
But I'm going to vote for Timeless as well because I like the dark theme used here. It's pretty cool how he or she managed to create such a dark atmosphere, though it's a cute render ~
あなたにムチュー
the render, and the background matched perfectly (if i say so myself), the carrots, that lil ribbit, the colours, i love 'em allah, i'm really suck at making opinion :'(
My vote.... hmmmm..... My vote.... MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME FOR GOD SAKE! This is hard asf! this bimonthy in particular shows the skill of each participant to create a great artwork with a given render, which is fucking hard as fuck. this shows the skill of which how you can create an artwork with a preset. Only a few artists can manage to create a piece that goes well with the render. who does not do this very often or doesnt have the experience in GFX cant execute this properly. OMG Guys! so maybe my vote can go for the one who did the theme of the render over the whole image; the one who made a gfx around the render and not alter the mood of the render.
Flowerbed is my vote, since it really flourishes among the participants. i just feel that flowers are the correct image you get by looking at the render.
hehehehe

My vote goes to Lucid. I was expecting the participants to make a whole-sized canvas, but this one didn't. The render looks like it is inside a giant crystal ball, but it'd be nice if the background from behind was pinkish or orange-ish (the color seems out of place-- imo). Overall, it's good. Well-thought.
Thumbs up to the person who made it!

My vote goes to Lucid. I feel that it is underrated considering how it makes use of the free size criteria. The crystal ball design looks very interesting and is very pleasant to look at. I like the glass-looking lines (I don't know what to call it...) around the circle so that the image doesn't look too flat. Agreed with Kurochiie that the background is slightly off. Maybe the designer didn't want everything to look so pink? It also feels like the designer picked the title to relate to his design. A very creative entry.
