So, it has been suggested someone mad a free-for-all armatar contest.
Now, considering there is no prize, and the armatars won't be chosen, I will rather consider it a challenge on fitting a piece of art into a 100x100 square.

Guidelines be stolen from the official AC:
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.

Obviously it will be a good idea to pot a bigger version as well, either 200x200 or 300x300.
And keep to the rules of site.

The theme will be winter for now, might change it in a week's time for fun.
Go nuts.

Theme: Winter
Deadline: The end of this month

Use photobucket > edit > scale.
Or try and scale it in paint, though I am unsure if that is possible.

contest

Challenge. I can't promise anything, and I won't go about giving merits because then I would have to actually find a winner.

You can use it to whatever you want, I just can't promise you you will be able to use them as an armatar. I don't have the ability to do that, only admins can do that, and I don't have their blessing on chosen pictures making it to use as a temporary armatar.
As I said, I am going to fight for it, but I can't and I won't, promise that it will happen.

Allright, this is what came to mind immediately!

I actually had the idea before, just never knew that the contests would be revived again! =)

I hope you guys like them! And the copyrights of these are (of course) owned by ArmorGames! I merely thought it would be an appropriate theming armatar for winter! =D
