And what are vectors/how do you do them?
Vectors are basically shapes that you can scale to any size and they won't pixelate, like normal editors do. A tiny circle you make will still look like a circle if you blow it up ten times.
The program at the top of my mind would be Inkscape. I don't know if you can do that in Photoshop or GIMP or the like, since they are built mostly to work in pixels. I don't know if they have support for vector scaling or not, though.

Killersup might be able to participate in this one, two questions though,
first question: When is it do?
second question: If Killersup were to upload a picture, can somebody else find a way to scale it down? Killersup doesn't yet know how to do that...

I can answer the second question... You can do it in paint. There is a Resize Function in it. Otherwise, you can also do it in photobucket but i suggest that you do it in paint.

There is no firm due date, but it's best if your armatar is submitted by the 25th.

Yes, it's back. Hopefully, if everything goes according to plan, I'll post an entry tomorrow :D

You can use Microsoft Office Picture Manager too. It also has a resize option.

I expect it to last a little longer because this is a winter edition and not solely a Christmas edition.

Because after the turkey, we clearly needed a Nyan Claus.

This. It's also completely excellent if you're like me and are completely worthless at making art. Morphing shapes makes it much more manageable.

Oh wow! It's a good thing you said that because I decided to ignore ModDayCee's number 4: Make it original!
