I think this years vote will be a bit unfair as a lot of good works went lost with the big server crash last summer... many well deserved candidates will be forgotten by this...

But my votes after the new server

There is that, but many of those things were re-posted afterwards... but certainly some were lost which is a shame.

Just to be sure, these are nominations only - no need to repost a nomination if someone else already mentioned it :)

And my favourites are already in the list ;)
And yes... it will be bloody hard to choose!!!



PS. With regards to lost works... I made a call for a number of those to be re-posted but hardly anyone responded to this. Simple cause of tough luck then! :p

Mmm, tough one as always. I have to go with Skyraiders latest for finished pieces I think

[Skyraider3D]

Yay a nomination :)
Thanks Evan! At least I have something to defend last year's success. It's been a somewhat unproductive year for me, but with some interesting developments (prints, expo). Next year should be a good one though! :)

[Evan]

Well, it was neck and neck with Kiwi's Desert Spit's image.

Also wanted to go with Arai's Lancaster for best wip but it was nominated already.
