I think judges should understand in a style competition it's really unfair to use someone else's graphics.
Most people (just like on ndsthemes) will make their skins from resized wallpaper backgrounds and steal icons off the net. Will this sort of thing be taken into consideration, and how will the judges know if the skin is made from original graphics or not?
People that do draw everything themselves should really note so in the post because it brings attention that you didn't just take artwork and resize, crop, cut/paste a skin together with really no effort at all.
Sorry to moan about it, i just think that every post should note if the skin they create is original, or someone else's artwork

i was excited to jump into photoshop and render some interesting designs, but if people are just going to steal work from the net and claim it as their own then why even bother with originality :/

I agree with El Blacksheep on this, there's too much downloading of pictures from the internet and using the entire thing as a backdrop for your skin -- It shows no creative value at all, it just goes to show you can resize a picture. That's why I thought to myself and gave a theme to my skin, while drawing it myself pixel by pixel, to give it that Atari feel. My skin is also based of an Atari game, betcha can't guess which one
