[Jessica.]

:amazed:

[Jessica.]

Should we PM them to you or post them in the thread?

[Heaven = Winner]

Meeeee

[andybigbro]

Post them in the thread! Because I don't think people will remember to pm and the thread won't get bumped as much!

[Nick.]

Does the avatar have to be a certain size?

[Jessica.]

Does the avatar have to be a certain size?

I think it doesn't matter as long as it fits with the forum restrictions aka 150x160

[Nick.]

I think it doesn't matter as long as it fits with the forum restrictions aka 150x160

Thanks! I noticed the avatars in the OP were various sizes so I thought it would be best to ask. :)

[Jessica.]

Well, this is my first one. :joker:

This is correct.

It shouldn't be any larger than that, because then it strays from being an avatar :)

[andybigbro]

Yay an entry! That's fab jess!

Very wintery :love:

Haha don't be silly! You don't have to commit and u don't need to enter 4 avatars, that's just the maximum.

So if u have time later in the month then you can still enter :)

this would be a much better competition if you made a rule that it had to be made from scratch. then we'd actually be judging real artistic talent.

Obviously when judging Avas of celebrities the like or dislike of the celebrity will be a determining factor in people's votes, which makes the whole competition pointless.

If yu hate nicki minaj you obviously aren't going to vote for a nicki minaj ava are you. what the hell is the point of this?

Making an avatar from scratch can be very difficult and very limiting to a lot of members. So editing a picture and designing it in my opinion is still someone creating an avatar. Signatures are made from existing pictures.

This is a forum game, not a world competition for avatar making. Also, about your nicki minaj example, surely someone mature enough could look passed the person on the avatar and appreciate the actual design/effect. No?

If you'd like to enter, feel free. :)

[andybigbro]

Great avatars Drew! :thumbs:

[Jay.]

aw everyones are so good, going to try and make mine this weekend some time :love:

[andybigbro]

Looking forward to them Jay! :D
