Welcome to the Winter Armatar Contest! 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!
You can submit your own original armatars to this thread following the theme of the Winter. If it meets our quality standards, I will add it to the 1AP armatar section for all members to use! You can reference previous contests for a better idea of what this is all about here. You can also check out a few select returning Winter armatars from 2009 in the 5AP section.
There are some guidelines, and unless your entry follows these set of rules it will not be accepted.
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 themed.
Good luck! And I look forward to seeing some awesome armatars =)
Meh, it was supposed to be "amateurish." Helps show all the childlike emotions and whatnot. Also makes better, more natural, curves! Anyways, I re-did my Milk and Cookies one in GIMP!
Carlie, if you are concerned about the quality of mine when made smaller I have another one with no people and a larger aurora borialis. Should I submit that one?
This is very weird how Christmas is stereotyped to be Winter-ish. What about the Southern Hemisphere? Can someone start a Summer themed Armatar Christmas competition? It'll prove more of a challenge than Winter themed

The majority of armatars chosen don't have snow in them, therefore they are for all climates.
