You made a good point there;I was actually thinking about raising the nomination cap for best design anyway. For self nominations though, I feel like we should leave it at two, since we're doubleing the amount of actual nominations.

And I think sprites pretty much count as artwork. Heck, I feel like sprites are even harder to make than actual art, so I'm all for that.
