You might want to up the contrast a bit when editing it because you might lose a lot of detail if you make it into a cartoon-ish picture.

How's this?

oh sr forgot to re-size the pic to 100 x 100 pixel lah :-P

@Emp
That turned out pretty well. You can see everything clearly.

Not bad, but you might want to make the candy canes reflective of each other and make the shield centered.

so y not make another ones (especially the snow pics) brighter also?

Because it takes a while. I'll get 'em done eventually. How long does this contest go for?

Anyway, I like that the candy canes have the glow effect so they're slightly transparent, but it's lost when it's resized smaller. I'd make the logo smaller, make the candy canes thinner, put the candy canes behind the shield, and put another image (maybe a santa hat over a tree to emulate the current logo) on the shield. But that's just me.

How long does this contest go for?

Whenever winter ends I'd say.

Lol, we had 16 inches.

That's what she said.

Whenever winter ends I'd say.

March 20th? But by then, people will be anticipating new Spring-themed ones and none would be ready. Perhaps end winter's at either the start or end of February so we have a few weeks of winter to enjoy them, and start Spring's contest the next day? That way, a new Spring batch can be out on time.

March 20th?

for real? but imo Winter only lasts from Oct to Dec, no? 0_o  o_8

Winter goes up to the 20th of March. They should be making Easter armatars by that time.

1) Whoa man..what's happening with that name up there?

O.O Oh yeah... I meant pang...

2) Woo! Colourblind armatar drawing FTW! =p thank you to Dapro and ModDayCee for pointing out my miscolouration

You're welcome ;D
