One question, mr. iGeek, why can't new members enter the contest? It's not Secret Santa...

Yeah! Why can't new members enter?
And what's the idea about having to be a member for 6 months to enter?!!!!!! Reduce that to 1 month!

I want to be a part too. I think I should be able to do it.

iGeek, you started the thread, so you're in charge of the Xmas avatar contest. Review the Forum Rules (http://www.lissaexplains.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42855), section 7:
7. Not so much a rule, but general information: You must have 200 posts for an avatar. To play in the arcade, send pms, and have a journal you must have 100 posts and be a member for a month.

Times have changed, Ryan. It was 500 when I got my avatar, and I thought it was 100, but that is the Arcade or something. I have horrible memory! :lol:

But why can't new users post a link to their avatar if they can't upload one? I think it's unjust.... Oh well, I'm in!

It can't be animated and you'll need to change your default avatar to the Christmas one. Or post a link to it, but I think it's better to upload it since you have enough posts. :)

do we have to draw it our selves? or can we get an image of the internet and edit it our way from there? an can we use any program like photoshop?

Arwen
11-29-2006, 06:25 PM
You can do whatever you want as long as you don't steal avatars you didn't make yourself. ;)

^ Is that avy still from Thanksgiving? :hehe: I think it's about time you update!
Thankies, but don't give me any credit for making the picture myself. I discovered it on a website. (www.actioncat.com) Alas, I am not much of an artist. The most I do is occasionally mess around in Photoshop, heh. Oh well, I think what I found is very adorable.

Arwen

I didn't know cats could use Photoshop! :eek:

Of course we can. We are highly skilled at being abstract. Haven't you heard of the painting cats before?

Well I didn't say ALL cats paint. ;) As for me, I haven't done much... I'm not exactly artistic myself. :P (Although, I wish I had a neat camera, you took a beautiful snapshot!)

I agree with Magln. That is a lovely shot. I would never be able to get the glare from the flame off of the lens. I always have a problem taking pictures like that.

Marta
12-21-2006, 04:31 AM
Thanks Magln and Angelica!! :D It's from last Christmas sometime. And if I remember right, it's when we were using our memory card in my cousin's really cool camera.
I actually wasn't sure if I would keep the avatar, but I do really like it.
