Ok, I'm posting on the front page so it's easy to find if someone is interested I'm starting it now, so I can easly lock up on the 6th of July. Rating are based mostly on how much I like the design, so it's very subjective, the fact that I didn't rate your design high does not mean it's bad, it's just not what I'm looking for in this competition In hopes of making my rating at least a little bit objective I decied to use points. They are supposed to give you a general idea of where are you placed at the moment, they are mostly guide lines. The fact that you have the most points gives you a great chance of winning, but if there is a small difference between your and someone else's entry, it depends only on my decision.

How does it work?
I'll give points for every thing I like in your design. Pattern, add-ons, line edits, and so on.
1) 1-10 points for design in general (depending on how much I like it; like I said, it's very subjective )
2) 3 points for every used pre-made line edit; 6 points for every line edit made by you
3) 1-5 points for adjusting base lines and general diligence
(It really annoys me when lines cross each other- in that case I mean mostly the head and ears, lots of people leave it without editing the top line of the head)
4) Optional 3 bonus points for unique line edits
I'll post points for each category and then add them up. If you think I missed something in the "line edits" category, please feel free to PM me, I might have missed something
