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.
@ soldierperson : when you make the armatar in paint, make sure you save it in .jpeg format, that's the most accepted format. Then make an account with flickr / photobucket / etc. and upload your picture there. That done, simply copy the url to that picture and post it here with the [image] button! Et voila! =D
@ younieboy : thanx! I hope Daniel McNeely thinks they are good and might use them... that would be awesome of course! =)
