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.
I didn't download Paint and i don't know what version mine is. All i know is that the paint i have now came with my computer and it is probably the cruddiest version of paint.
As you can see, there isn't much of an option of equiptment to use for it; just enough to be able to create a piece of work. I am rubbish with the mouse anyway and i prefer drawing on paper.
A bit of advice, if you will. It usually looks a bit better to keep the lines at different thickness. You know, like if you were drawing with a pen or pencil, the line would be wider somewhere, and more narrow elsewhere. It gives off a nice fluid feel to the lineart and makes it look less clumsy.

as you said, i found that with my armatar design on page 10 i should do the snowman most thick were with the slight detail of the snow should be much thinner.
Might as well change the topic back, apparently few are interested in drawing awesome monsters. Not that it will stop me, when I finally get around drawing again.
I am in the middle of a sketch of a sort of modern army guy. I started it yesterday and i am hoping to put it in a few threads such as this one to represent me.
I just can't think of anything to draw for monsters. Obviously i can just draw a monster and stick it in front of a snowy background, but that doesn't make a good picture. I can draw the abominable snowman or other evil looking snowman, but that's just extremely unoriginal. I can't think of a monster that actually fits in with the theme.
