Computer graphics do look "Official" as Draco pointed out -
I however believe that it is the thought and idea that
should make the image enjoying... not just having a fancy
computer program. I feel that it's biased to say that "The
best artists use computer programs," because that's not
true... the color may look better, and I do have a computer
program... but I seriously like traditional pencil as much,
if not more, because it can take a lot more time and effort.
So altogether, I think that the art-of-the-week mod(s)
should look at it from the idea of the pic, and the work put
into it, not its outcome in the end by how it looks.

Comp graphics just look best since they look offical. But when Night had the fanart of the week, hers was traditional pencil, so its not always the case, like Steet said.

I wondered that too. I do pencil art, but only twice I've been chosen for fan art of the week. I guess maybe they DO favor mordern art more then traditional art.

Maybe because all the best artists do mostly computer art...We also like traditional pencil art, but it seems the best drawers all do computer art.
