I used paintbrush because my stupid Mac has nothing else.
I have a much better one, but the Internet is out so I can't upload it. I'm posting from my phone right now. The other one took me half a class period and I uploaded it then. Yeah..... My school was open and it had Internet.
Needless to say I'm excited, and that one was bad. I'll see if I can make some new ones in my dim lit home.

The color palette needs to be those of official Armatars?

Nah, you can use any colours you want, as long as the end result looks good and is Thanksgiving themed. :)

Hey, I'd like to try this, so does anyone have any tips on what programs to use? Also, how do you scale the pictures down? Thanks!

GIMP is the best free option I know of. As for scaling down, it's usually an option under the menu item "image" in such programs.
You should also start off with a square canvas.

Sorry if those tips are poor, I have all of a headache atm. What is thinking? @_@

I'm using that right now, actually.

Here's something I made for a warm-up:

It took a whole 2 minutes! xD
I'll be back with something much, much better.

Yeah!
Finally, armatars contests return.

I'll definitely try to fit something, in.
Are hand drawn ones okay or must it be done on computer?

Blergh. It's a globe, made using some kick-*** filters and vector stuff.

Hey Zoph, would this be deemed, er, acceptable?

Must be completely original.

God **** it. I suck at drawing. I like getting pics of the Internet and changing them up.

What is the due date?

I doubt it if there is a due date.
The thread will probably get locked the day of or after Thanksgiving.

Create one pixel at a time if you have to. I don't want pickpocket and I to be the only ones participating after we tried so hard to get this going again.

And EXTRA EXTRA! A thanksgiving joke made up by me on the spot!

What do bowlers, hunters, and my extended family all have in common? They love TURKEYS!!!

Same, except my art skill level has not yet exceeded the quality of the program =) I downloaded GIMP a couple months ago, but I still don't get on how to properly work it, so back to Paintbrush I go!
