Voting rules
Everybody can vote, who is member on AP at least for a month. Participants cannot vote for own works. By a tie, wins the earlier submitted. How to vote
The ranking system got many complaints due being complicated and too much to write. So we will use now a temporary easy-to-understand system.
You can give 2 points to the entry which you like at most and give additional 1 & 1 points to another two entries which also caught your attention. Just tell the number of the entries or the submitters username.
Commenting on those entries is very welcomed, also giving advices for the entries which you think could be better. (those can be posted on the vectors itself, if you haven't done yet)
Prizes: The problems with badges is a long-persistent one, since the old VD staff is on like once per month and Tens has the templates for the old one. So hopefully we can give them until the end of the year 2012. Anyways, since this one is basically is the first VD in 2012, I will create new badges for this year, even if I may die in the process (guess certain ppl outside of VD would welcome that, but thats a different matter) Any templates are welcomed and considered to use!

1 @TheAkuma
Awesome color choices and creativity to convert this scan in a beautiful piece. Excellent Work
2 @dolce-yasmin
Awesome-Mind-blowing good use of Mesh tool.Although I think with a little more time, you could have done better eyes,I mean in the scan the eyes looks better.Forgetting that, all looks awesome.Good job on the shiny apple too.

This was a tough choice, as I loved almost all of the submissions...But my final choices would have to be...
@200M - 2 points
@Wonderngo - 1 point
@Acidtreat101 - 1 point
I wish I could give you all 2 points! But I decided on 200M because while Wonder and Acid's were amazing, 200M's vector was simply gorgeous with a wonderful use of gradients and colors to really make the vector "pop" compared to the original, which was a bit dull and pale with it's colors.

The first two were obviously really good, and all the entries were quite good. I had a problem choosing the third spot but I give it to Merc-chan because I think it's underrated. If you look at some of the details they are really well done!

It's been a loooong time since I last voted for Vecta Desu~
@200M : Over-all it looks nice but from close up it looks a little blurry too, some outlines are lacking the finishing touch and some blurred shapes are too uniformly blurred.
@joab : Over-all it looks nice from there is a lack of finish at some points (for example: near the right shoes and the piggy)
@merc-chan : Over-all it looks real nice. A higher resolution would have been appreciated to see the small details but it's a real problem. There is some glitches with some part of the outlines (for example : the outline end for the calf of the front leg, the curve controls are crossing each other probably) and I found a z-order problem too near the buttock and the skirt, an outline for the folding is under the skin.
@akiranyo : It's really nice. I don't see anything wrong with it but some outlines would have been better with some more thickness variation like the hair. It's a little too uniform. It feels like she's going to say: "Do you want to the cake I'm doing or me~ ?" X)
@TheAkuma : Oh bright colours~ It's a solid vector work, I really like it. Some outlines would have been a little simplified though in the thickness variations but it's not a big deal. The fluffy parts outlines could be somewhat further improved I think.
@wonderngo : H2SO4! I really like the artworks from this artist. What I see here is a solid vector. There is not much to see but if I was picky I would say there is a little z-order problem with on of the ball of the pendant and the dress. Also the ribbon on the right arm is under the fore arm stuff outline.
@VestigeL : Outlines wise, it is really nice but to my eyes it's a blur feast. I think blur should be used more sparingly or at least not that uniformly but with variation as to fit better with crisp parts.
@acidtreat101 : It looks nice but there is a few points to address I think. The outline colour for the hair seems a little too greenish. On the left part in red of the bowl, there is two little colour leaks. The gradient used for the outline colour of the left elbow is not really well done. The joining zone of the socks and the legs could have been a little better too.
@dolce-yasmin : I have mixed feeling for this one. I'm not a big fan of the gradient mesh tool but you're are using skilfully here so I don't mind too much. The jacket colours look a bit dull. I think a tint of blue would have made the trick probably. The eyes are too blurry though. I think it would have been nice too if you kept the sketchy feeling of the outlines and went for a watercolour style vector but it's just my personal preference ;3
Now time to vote~ @TheAkuma - 2 @akiranyo - 1 @wonderngo - 1
I hope I will be able to enter for the next round ;3

Such awesome quality to choose from this time, it made it a really difficult decision, but the ones I chose I felt outshined the others in some way. Good luck to everyone involved!!!

1- 200m: we are looking a artist growing with each work, this one is better than your last, so im proud of you, good job, lovely artwork and nice colors, some parts a bit blurry but those are just details, the complete work looks great.

Voting for VD can be tricky for me as I have no idea how to judge a vector but base on what I like, well, my first impression I mean. Anyway, here goes for my vote:
2 points: @The Akuma - The vectoring style and colours that I really like. Plus, a great job from a new member =)
1 point: @dolce-yasmin: painted style is beautiful and unique.
1 point: @akiranyo : good vector with beautiful colour as usual.
Good luck to all! XD

2 points - @200M - series selection and overall design quality
1 point - @dolce-yasmin - would be first by me due the hardcore style, but losing first place for too much cropping
1 point - @VestigeL - mainly due character selection (Symphony + gym uniform + nice butt)
