Don't know what is a graphic battle? Then read on.
A graphic battle is for graphic makers to take on tasks and battle for the winning spot. There will be a different task each week,and I promise you it will be different from the same ol' skinning competitions you have here on Blogskins. This is something fresh,and it has never been seen before on Blogskins.com
So how does it go by?
Each week,there will be a task for the members to finish. It will be different each week,and there will be a dateline to when everyone has to hand in their task. Once everyone hands in their task,yours truly will judge. The score will be posted here,and the one with the lowest score will be sent home(lol!). The battle will continue,and there will only be one winner at the end. There will,of course be some rules.
Rules
· The first,and the most important rule of all,is that all members must be able to use graphic programs. No online programs (lunapic,photobucket,piknik etc.) or Paint. (To make it easier,only Photoshop,Paint Shop and Gimp users can apply.) No,I'm not bias,but some tasks will need blending,and you can't do that on piknik,cos' of it's poor quality.
· No catfights. That means no snide comments about other people's graphics. Want to fight,don't do it here.
· No stealing. You HAVE to make your own graphics.
· Hand in your tasks on time. If not,you will be dropped out.
· I will only be accepting 10 contestants, so hurry up and fill in a form!
· Have fun!

Results for the first task are out!
1. Zakiah / inkSPLASH
Originality - 9 points
How well you followed the task - 9 points
Graphic Skills - 9 points
Overall - 27 points
I really like the fact that you made the pictures desaturate! But I think the texture that you chose could have been better.
And I adore the wolf image. Overall I found it a tad too plain,maybe some textures or colors? But keep it up 
2. Jacelyn / lala.land.dreamer
Originality - 7 points
How well you followed the task - 9 points
Graphic Skills - 7 points
Overall - 23 points
I love the coloring on this one,but the thing that got to me was that there was only one picture! I think there could be more details added to it.
It'll be nice if there was some textures and more images 
3. Kai Lin / DancingSheep
Originality - 10 points
How well you followed the task - 9.5 points
Graphic Skills - 9.5 points
Overall - 29 points
Omg,this one really blew me away. It was hard to find any flaw on it. I wanted to give you 11 for originality,lol!
I think that the 'blowing away' thang is the bomb,but maybe some touch-ups and more images? 
4. Ernest / StairwayMannequin
Originality - 8.5 points
How well you followed the task - 9 points
Graphic Skills - 8.5 points
Overall - 26 points
Great choice of pictures! I love how the whole thing is focused on the woman 
I like your blending,but I think more could be added,and the text was a little bit difficult to read,lol.
5. Ashley / -strategy
Originality - 9.5 points
How well you followed the task - 9 points
Graphic Skills - 9 points
Overall - 27.5 points
I think this one was totally rad! I like the look of it,and the small circles thing.
I also love the font used,but I found that the images were a bit pale.
6. Darian T / liketragic!
Originality - 10 points
How well you followed the task - 9.5 points
Graphic Skills - 9.5 points
Overall - 29 points
I thought this one was creative ^ I like that you made the images into strips.
The color goes together too,but maybe you could have colorize the image to make it brighter? 
7. Vicky / babypianist
Originality - 9.5 points
How well you followed the task - 9.5 points
Graphic Skills - 9.5 points
Overall - 28.5 points
I like the blending on this one,and I love how you put even the smallest of details together!
But the earth stock I see on the left was kind of out of place,but great banner on the whole!
8. Glen/theboydisturbed
Originality - 10 points
How well you followed the task - 9.5 points
Graphic Skills - 9 points
Overall - 28.5 points
This one was very original,great choice of pictures! The whole thing goes well together,including the font.
I think you posterized one of the image on top,and it doesn't really suit,but still good anyhoo. 
9. Sheryl / sfmy
Originality - 9.5 points
How well you followed the task - 9.5 points
Graphic Skills - 9.5 points
Overall - 28.5 points
I like the textures used in this one,especiall the raindrops one. The blending is great,and I like the font used.
I think there was some space you didn't use,and maybe you could have done something on that,like brushes? ^_^
10. Amelia / !midnightCraze!
Originality - 8.5 points
How well you followed the task - 9 points
Graphic Skills - 8 points
Overall - 25.5 points
I think this font you used was cute,but the pictures could have been better!
You should add some colorization,and maybe brushes and textures too.

So... The winner(s) of the first task is/are... (drumrolls please!)
Kai Lin / DancingSheep & Darian T / liketragic!
with both scoring 29 points each!
Great job everyone! But unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Jacelyn / lala.land.dreamer. Sorry,but you're still awesome Jacelyn! Good luck in your future battles(if any!) 
And as you can see,there are lots of 28.5s,I had a hard time judging,and it was difficult to choose the winners,as there were many great entries.
