Hi!

I agree that drawn themed graphics is a little outdated in its rules of 
conduct,
but I still think that at least 3D and 2D art need to have their own 
categories.
Otherwise there is a risk that 2D creations will be out-shined by the 3D
creations, thus resulting in a combo without the different flares of 
style that
the freestyle and drawn theme now cater to us. I´m basing this prediction merely
on my own assumptions that the assembly voters find 3D art more 
appealing and i
might be horribly mistaken, but still I think this is a point that must be
considered before melding these two competition categories.

I suggest that instead of combining you might change the titles of the
categories from "freestyle" to 3D and from "drawn themed" to 2D. In the 2D
category you would have photos, drawings, etc. and 3D would naturally have 3D
art. This kind of a categorization is used on various esteemed art 
forums (i.e.
www.cgsociety.org). I also agree that giving themes is not useful as Jussi
stated. it´s almost impossible to determine who has followed the given theme
and who has just entered an old picture with no consideration towards 
the theme
whatsoever.

That´s all!
