Original post:
I'm going to keep all of last rounds participants on here assuming they wish to partake in round two. Sign ups are still open to everyone. Prizes are open to everyone as well.

**The theme for today's speedbattle is going to be: "Environment". You don't have to draw a massively detailed cityscape, or a simple mountain range. Simply draw a background/environment where people, animals, or creatures can interact with. There's a lot of bonus points to o around for this one. I want the environments to tell a story, if you all think you're capable of such a task. This will end Friday, August 30th around 6am eastern time.**


Alright gang, it's time for an awesome speed art battle steel cage death match Royale.

This is how this is going to work. I'm going to host one or two speed art competitions about every two weeks for the next who knows how long. I'm going to be doing at least six of these if people actively participate. I can't promise anything if you guys dont want to do this.

Each competition will follow the following format.

Default Program: None. You can use any program that you feel confident enough using.
Default Size: At least 500x500.
Maximum Participants: There is no maximum amount of participants for this.
Theme: To keep this a speed art battle, the theme will be released on the day of the competition to keep people from getting a head start.
When: Fridays. I will post the theme and start the battle Friday mornings. This competition will be over in the next two to three weeks, so be active!
Time to Complete: Everyone will have approximately 24 hours to finish and post their entry.
Points: The community will vote for the winner in an open poll. I will award points based on the votes received and the amount of participants.
Bonus Points: I will award bonus points to participants who are active and encouraging of others. You will also receive bonus points for advertising these competitions in your signature and to your pals over on IRC.
How to Join: Post in this thread and request to be added to the list. I want as many people to join this as possible, but you have to be an active member of the forum or IRC to participate. This will be based off of your post count and overall presence around the forum.

Absolutely NO stick figures.
I will be flexible with the dimensions. You should use a much larger size, though.
If there is not enough spaces on the poll for every participant, I will select the images that I feel are of the highest quality and put them in the poll. If your image does not make it to the poll you will still be given a significant amount of points for participation!
There will be a reward of $20-$60 for the winner of this competition. Keep in mind that in order to be eligible for this reward you must participate in every competition. Keep in mind that I hold every right to limit the reward based on the quality of your artwork. There isn't a single member on this forum that I don't think is capable of earning the maximum cash pot. With the bonus points that I will be giving out, anyone can be a winner.

Depending on how things are going for me at the time, I will offer the second place and third place participants a cash pot as well. Second place with be 50% of first place, and third shall be 50% of second places cash pot.
Keep in mind that in order to receive a reward you must compete in all of these competitions. We must also make it to at least the sixth competition. Feel free to advertise and get your friends to actively participate in this too.

Note: I will be participating in every competition, but I will not be added to the poll to receive ratings as it wouldn't be fair to everyone else.

The first competition date will be set once we reach 7 participants excluding myself. I will be warning everyone around the forum and on IRC when the timer is about to start.
Remember: This is for fun, which is why I encourage everyone to advertise this and encourage everyone to actively participate in each round. I will not hesitate to exile anyone who negatively criticizes participants.

While we're waiting for participants, please feel free to ask any questions or offer any suggestions in case I missed out on any details or if anything is unclear.
Edit 1: Pen and Paper is not acceptable because of Ghombeat. Everyone thank Ghombeat.

Round One Results:

Stickly - 10 + 2 I like the dark element of the drawing. pretty dank bro.
Drone - 9 +2 for play on words.
PLasmaghost - 8 + 3 for play on words. I also liked your warriors face.
Graphite - 7 +4 for a sick nasty style.
Grim - 7 +2 for being a booty warrior
Kingster - 7 + 1 for showing up and having faith!
Gaaaaaaaading - 7 +3 is he riding a mo'fuggin fish?
Balistik - 7 + 1 for a cool idea, but you could have cleaned it up a bit.
Quick Kicks - 6 +2 for hating the sun!

Total Scores:

Stickly - 12. I liked your drawing a lot.
Drone - 11. You surprised the shit out of me bro. Not gonna lie though, I didn't want someone to make a reference to RHG XD but it's better than making a full body version of FLFLFFLFLLFLFLFL
PLasmaghost - 11. I thought yours was kick ass. Is that supposed to be your avatar as his face mask? That's pretty fucking rad bro.
Graphite - 11. You were #1 in my book because of your style. I love the style and the creativity.
Grim - 9. Booty warrior. Need I say more? lol
Kingster - 8. You should spend more time on this round, you're not far behind!
Gaaaaaaaading - 10. Your drawing was hard to go off of as the only clear element of it was the fish :( but it was a bad ass idea.
Balistik - 8. Clean that shit up homie. It looks like he got his spear from the ghetto.
Quick Kicks - 8. Someone needed to blow the sun up! You should spend more time on the next one and make it more clear!

So far I think everyone has a great chance at taking this round.

Alright! Let's do this!
