Draw is a format that focuses on general (read: not pixel art)  artistic works made from scratch; it was added because up until this point, there had been no general grafxicist format (read: not ascii or ansi) that one could participate in that wasn't mix_battleart during a major. You could say that this is the art equivalent of an allgear, so to speak.

Also, Tilde had money to throw at the BotB Kickstarter.

'[#[Tools]
Anything that can create visuals from scratch, free and paid, including, but not limited to:
- Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or Flash
- Paint.NET
- GIMP
- Paint
- Paint Tool SAI
- CorelDRAW
and more.

You can even go analog with pen[cil] and paper, though you still have to get the image on to the site somehow. How you go about it is entirely up to you, though the most recommended method would be to scan it.

You might even be able to draw whatever and take a picture with your phone and then upload that picture with the browser on your phone to this website for the battle wow.

'[#[Restrictions on submit]
The resulting submission must be an image.
'[t[b6]if you want to make pixel art please wait for a pixel art format in a battle to submit your pixel art formatted entry to'[/t]

'[#[Viewing (for voting)]
Honestly, is there really any consumer computer that '[o]can't'[/o] view images?
