Since I'm out of commission with my graphics program so I'm not doing graphics but I still can't stop myself from looking at stocks and renders I thought I'd ask - would folks be interested if I ran a few graphic battles?

Edit: Grimm suggested I bring back the GoTW - Adding a poll to see if ya'll are interested.

If we have enough interest I'll be happy to set it back in motion.

For those who don't know what GoTW is:

Each week a theme (Or sometimes a stock or set of stocks) is chosen and a medium, either signature, avatar or combo for the competition. Once the deadline is met voting begins and a new theme is chosen for the next round. There are no eliminations or matches like is done in the GGT (Grand Graphics Tournament) Each week is a brand new contest.

Prizes, apart from bragging rights are dependent on community donation.

Maybe try running the GoTW for a bit Zukira :). I miss it the way David James ran it when it was more about the art, showing your skill and competing with fellow artists than about the prize.

That is a great idea Grimm! I'll do some hunting for the older threads and see about setting something up.

As Grimm has pointed out if GoTW returned and was about the art and not the prize then I would be happy to participate. I've voted accordingly.

Love the idea, rusty at signatures and a tad on avatars. But hey would give me a reason to work out the rust and get the polish out 8)

You should wait until about the middle to the end of June. Everyone is still in school for the most part.

I have been wanting to do something like this for a long while. Its good practice & you get to see a lot of cool graphics/art work emerge. I'm in & voted accordingly.
Winning purple dots is ok, but winning the respect of your fellow artist's is a far better prize.

ok, I will definitely start up GoTW starting in June. Sound good?

In the meantime, I'll post a few stock images that I've picked up that I hope might spark some interest for folks to just play around with.

This one jumped out at me this evening, what would YOU do with it?
