Greetings, minioerhmmm faithful citizens of ArmorGames!

The time has come to revive a proud, old tradition; that is, the seasonal/holiday armatar contests!

We'll be starting out with Thanksgiving - you can chip in with a thematically appropriate submission even if you don't celebrate it.

GUIDELINES:
1) Must be appropriate Cannot be offensive or profane in nature. Keep it clean!
2) The entry must be square, and at least 100x100 pixels in dimension.
3) Must scale down well to 100x100. So if it is larger, make sure that it will still look good when it is scaled down to armatar size. A few suggestions about this:
- Sometimes simple is better. If you go into a lot of detail, it might not look as great when you scale it down. So just keep in mind what the final size will be.
- If you are able to do vector, that can help with the sharpness of the image. However, since they are so small this probably isn't a big issue.

4) Must be completely original. You cannot use elements from other pieces of artwork, the entire armatar must be 100% created by you.
5) Must be Thanksgiving themed.

Note that we won't necessarily add all submissions... Make 'em look good, guys!

Also note that these will likely go up in batches preceding the actual holiday, and disappear from the armatar roster as we approach the winter theme.

We look forward to seeing your contributions!

So, there is no set date on which they're going up?
Soon(tm)

Gonna hand draw the suggestion above me, when I get time, but for now.
Here's some of my shakiness in MS Paint:

Did have it drawn on a white flag, but looked sloppy(ier)

I took all day on this one. The legs were really hard to get right. The feathers was the easiest.

I call this one "Nyan Turkey". Similarities to Nyan Cat is purely coincidence. Nyan Turkey's rainbow fart spreads out instead of a beam.

@calebsi.

Did you invert the colours on that?

@Leo.
Those look pretty nice, particularly the last one.
I can't really make out what the second one is.

@Google567: "Truely a great artist": those are big words... I don't think they are that good, but thank you
