I've made mine, but the .gif image looks stupid. It has a bunch of colors on it that shouldn't be there, but my .png image is exactly 10 kb. So, stosh, can I submit it? Or can I submit a JPEG.

No, the avatar needs to be 90 pixels by 90 pixels. You'll have to use an image editor to shrink it down. (photoshop, gimp)

Yes, you can. You can draw it, scan it, and then resize it. If you have any photoediting program..not sure if things like the regular paint would work...but you can take the image you saved and resize it to 90x90 pixels...Only thing is that most of the details in the large drawing will not be seen, and 90x90 pixels is a square...so your drawing, if not on square paper, is going to look distorted when you resize it...the longer end of the paper will have to be smushed, messing up your drawing... You could edit the picture before you resize it though(like edit out his legs or something to make it more of a square shape)...just keep editing it in a photoediting program until it looks good

It may not be a good idea to post your avatar. A jerk could grab it, submit it and steal your prize.

I'll post it, since I already submitted it, and it's so crappy that it doesn't stand a chance. what do you think?:

16.95 kb
It''s a damn shame that I already send this one to Bungie, because I finally understand Ulead now, and I could make a MUCH better one. :(

yeah, it looks good and all, but it has to be used as an avatar, and I think this isn't very usefull as far as being one.
are you making one too T3E?

I cant show you mine, because my hosting service is retarded, but mine is a dim marathon logo, with lightning bolts hitting it, and the logo lights up, and dims with each hit...kinda looks cool.

How much does "Politically Correct" factor into the decision of the judges?

So far so good everyone... I'm already seeing some very nice entries.. and some..umm.. not so nice entries. But hey, anyone can walk away with a nifty prize.

A quick tip for those using Image Ready or Photoshop - when you go to "Save for web" and pick "gif" with transperncies, make sure the part that saying "matte" is set to nothing. You probably noticed that a few avatars I uploaded 2 weeks ago are a little crappy around the edges. That's what happened. Apparently it auto aliases and then thinks it has a white background. I've learned my lesson. Eventually I'll replace those crappy white outline ones with fixed versions.

Keep the avatars coming! Good luck

Here's mine. If anyone even thinks of nicking it then they will be blammed for all eternity. And the front page of my site is looking very nice too ;-)

I just learned how to do animation. So I made this for the site/contest. Made from scratch, it took me about 6 hours to do it. What? I told you I was new to the Animation thing.
I've already E-mailed it to Bungie. Here's the Link, let me know what you think.
