Hello Armor Gamers!

Well, I think we can successfully say after the Halloween and Thanksgiving armatar contests, that you guys like these contests! So of course we need one for the winter holiday season. This is not going to be restricted towards Christmas. Entries for other winter holiday celebrations are also encouraged! So if you celebrate Yule, Hanukkah, Christmas, etc., or just like snow, feel free to submit an armatar about it so long as it fits the winter holiday theme. This has a wide range of possibilities!

I know this is opening up a bit earlier than the other contests have, but I know people have started making them already. So they might not be posted as soon as they are submitted, but this is a place where you can post them and have them organized.

GUIDELINES:
1. Must be appropriate. Cannot be offensive or profane in nature. Try to 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 piece of artwork, the entire armatar must be 100% original.
5. Must be winter holiday themed.

Good luck! And I look forward to seeing some awesome armatars =)

Your's is not square, plus your image scaled down would look kinda unreadable.

Kind of blurry, isn't it?
The characters are in too small of detail.

Simple and close-up armatars are the way to go. A picture with many details compacted into a 50x50 piece would just look too crammed together.

Hmm, this one *points at own blank armatar* might be the best winter themed one! Look, it is the Armor Games logo in a snow storm! /weird

Graham, I think it would have been better if... Nah, it is fine, I guess.

I like yours plokkey, I don't think anyone even thought of making a Christmas Tree star.

I would choose it, but I really like the one I have now.

I like them, I just think that a few changes could be made. The snowman for example is good, but the green in the background is too bright.
