Honestly, this rule makes little sense in some of the upcoming contests. Obligatory work in progress photo's for a selfie or an in-game screenshot? This rule needs some sharpening imo.
We need some sort of photoshop contest @Koga73. Something I can win. Maybe "Best self drawn [whatever]" Even though I think I can take the lead on Emoticon Package, FoG dank meme and FoG Logo.
