So here's the thread where all you amazingly talented graphic artists may lay down the gauntlet, slap your opponent in their virtual face with your virtual glove. Here's where you pit your graphic skills against another artist in the hopes that through this competition, you'll both learn and grow and draw blood amuse us all. So what are the codes of conduct in a Graphics Battle? Oh my friend, it's so easy. 1. Issue the challenge to your chosen opponent.
2. Lay down the rules of the challenge (use a lot of filters, must use four different screencaps, pistols at dawn, etc.).
3. Fight! Create your art and post. Then give constructive feedback to your opponent. Remember, you're both looking to learn from each other here so be honest but respectful. If you're graphic artist willing to be challenged here, maybe consider posting this in your signature to show that you're willing to participate:[*url=http://slayalive.com/index.cgi?board=fanart&action=display&thread=7824&page=1]Challenge me to a Graphics Battle![*/url] COMPLETED CHALLENGES:Rebecca & Just Willow:By Rebecca By Just Willow xaphania & kimtaro:By xaphania Evilwillowrocker & Rebecca:By Evilwillowrocker Just Willow & Evilwillowrocker:By Just Willow Skytteflickan88 & Wyndam:By Skytteflickan88 By Wyndam

Rebecca, after you've completed your challenge, you get to return the challenge to Just Willow on your own terms.

Think about it like a real duel. If Just Willow is shooting a bullet at you, are you just going to lie back and take it? You fire back.

Lol! Then think of it as boxing. She punches, then you punch back. Hopefully your art won't kill Just Willow.

Well, no. We're using blanks :wink: Ok, girlie. I've got my banner set up for the most part, but my texture suck, and I need more time to find some that'll fit. And now it's time for ms. hungry-and-sleepy-pants to get off the computer. Gonna try to get it done by tomorrow

Hrm... what to challenge you to.... Oh! I know!
Focus on dynamic between two characters, anywhere in the buffyverse, using screencaps. Should be non-shippy, but could include two characters who had romance at one point (Spike & Angel, Willow & Xander, etc.), just be from scenes non-shippy in nature.
Unlimited amount of scenes/screencaps. Must use at least one texture. Brushes are optional. 500px X 150px.
