I was wondering.....GB answer please....Is this just best looking or do you actually have to make the Avatar yourself?
I was woundering if we had to switch our avatars to our entrys. Or are we going to be able to just post them in a thread.
Probably will need to use them as your forum avatar, for the time period in which they will be looking.
Also, woot! Something I can really get behind! I love making avatars.

From the way it sounds, the Avatar has to have the MMOArt logo in it somewhere... so I'm assuming that you'd have to create it.
yeeaaaaahhh....I was never good at reading directions

MMOART presents The Avatar Extravaganza, specifically designed for the CoX official community forums!! Join this month-long challenge and win a Color Single Character piece and a free MMOART FTW! Tee! Do you have design skills? Then crack your knuckles and get those creative juices flowing! During the month of September, we will be browsing the forums searching for the best looking MMOART avatars. Our favorites will be saved and posted at the end of the month for a final decision on the winner! Create your own avatar design (whether it be a static image or animated), stay within the forum avatar size restrictions of 80 x 80 px or smaller, and 'MMOART' MUST be present somewhere on the avatar design. A .pdf copy of our logo is available for download here. Be as original as possible and remember, the more you post wearing your MMOART avatar, the more likely we will notice your design and save it among our favorites! Good luck!

Alright.. can't say I'm a pro, but I came up with something that was kinda slapped together. <points to avatar<
I was having a hard time getting the text to a color/font that was readable.
Comments? Suggestions? Questions?
Alright, after looking at MMOArt's new competition for next month, I wanna try my hand at making an avatar. Can anyone suggest a good piece of software that would be easy enough to learn without loosing too many options? Oh... inexpensive is good too.
