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 =)

Thanks guys.

Binary!
That one is great!
It doesn't make a lot of sense though! XD
Well, i hope it gets added.

Well I was going to have santa sit on a raindeer, but I'm not that good with the anatomy of animals. So santa is skydiving to your house this year :P

Just in case anyone asks...
I use Photoshop. And I used AI to make the snowflakesm and added an outer glow to them.

I have seen yours Ogt2, and it's great. Just don't keep telling us about it, because it's probably spam.

When Carlie magically has all the time in the world to do everything she wants. It's a holiday miracle!

I'd guess sometime soon or around the 17th in time for 22nd, 25th and 26th. It's usually within a week of the holiday, isn't it? I wonder if it'll extend to New Year's.

Just kick back, relax, and wait. It's cool AG has someone like Carlie. And could we just say that the 19th is Carlie Appreciation Day?

Lol, we don't need a Carlie Appreciation Day ^_^ Thanks for the sentiment though.
