These are two very different art styles that need to be separated because a person who is good at banners may not have a tablet to digitally draw something. Someone who likes to mess with random brushes on Photoshop may not be skilled enough to paint on a canvas. There is no level of fairness to those who can do one thing, and not another. If the theme one day was: 'Draw a Digital image of a monkey in a tree,' people without a tablet would try to draw with their mouse, and it'd fail miserably. This is why I feel it's necessary to separate the two, so that Traditional and Digital artists could do their things, and the Graphic designers could do theirs."
I don't think that's unreasonable, they are two very different methods of creating art. Some people may be skilled at drawing but don't know a thing about digital art and vice versa. They should be separate or one of them just shouldn't exist and the remaining section should be purely which ever is left as opposed to a combination.

Also, I just happened to notice this; Is there a reason that we don't have a section for Wifi and/or Simulator(Showdown, etc.)? battling?
