CONT'D

That sort of effort to me could take just as much time as someone drawing/painting digitally. In that scenario the end result is still digital art. The time that it took to make that art is no more or less valuable regardless of if was screenshot based or hand drawn (via tablet).

It's not right to assume that someone who draws/paints digitally spends any more/less time then someone who's end artwork started out screenshot based. What looks like it might have taken 5 minutes in your eyes might not have and the person behind it might have tried really hard to create something special.

It really doesn't matter if you don't think someone whose art starts as a screenshot is less time/effort the plain fact is that the mods came on and said they WOULD accept digital art and technically those modified screenshots should still qualify whether you think they are worthy or not.
