AVATAR CREATORS: RULES TO JOIN!

PLEASE READ BEFORE CLICKING THE JOIN BUTTON!

You DO NOT have to be a member to USE free avatars. Membership is for the avatar makers so they may submit to our Gallery.

Our membership policies require ALL MEMBERS to have at least 10 FREE AVATARS in their gallery in order to gain membership to #Free-dAvatars.

PLEASE LINK TO YOUR FOLDER OF FREE AVATARS IN THE JOIN REQUEST, SO THE ADMINS CAN EASILY FIND THEM!

ALL work must be the member's own. NO screenshots or game sprites may be used in avatars for submission.

ALL work must also be under 15kb in size and be 50x50 pixels exactly, or under 30kB and 100x50 pixels.

We NO LONGER accept 'lick' avatars!

PLEASE post your avatars in the correct deviantART category, "customization/icons/avatars/dA avatars"! If you're avatars are pixel art, so are also allowed to add them to the pixel art gallery, but your avatars will be easier to find in the avatar gallery.

If you don't have 10 free avatars, we invite you to +devWatch us and participate in our Monthly Challenges.

Monthly Challenge: Free December Holiday Avatars

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 27, 2012, 1:22 AM

December Holidays

December is the holiday month and holidays are always a great inspiration for iconists. Even if it's just adding a Christmas hat to your current avatar

Of course there are more holidays than just Christmas that are celebrated during December and we want you to make avatars for them all!
Some examples are:
St. Nicholas Day (Also known as Sinterklaas to some)
Hanukkah
Midwinter
Christmas
New Year's Eve
And let's not forget the Annual Day of the Ninja!
Feeling inspired? Enter the Challenge!

~Ring-Target Jun 5, 2013 New member Hobbyist

i final found out how to make icons that are 50X50 and under 15kb!!! now i can make animated icons for people

*blknblupanther Jun 3, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I think we're missing a few months from the monthly challenges

it stops at December of last year >_<

I insist on a New Challenge

*etNoir Jun 11, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Got any ideas for a new Challenge Theme?

*blknblupanther Jun 11, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Not sure if its been done, but maybe a TV theme? Icons dedicated to shows you or others love? And not just tv shows, can be movies cartoons or even an actual tv! Lol

*etNoir Jun 12, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

We did do an anime & manga theme once, as well as a horror movie one, but never an all tv shows theme. It might be fun, but it might be a lot of work for us too, if a lot of people only submit screenshots.

I do like the idea of a tv avatar

Is it ok to join with only 8

=WDWParksGal-Stock May 20, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

The lick avatar doesn't count since the group doesn't accept them (there are lots submitted already and the group cut them off). It is best to have ten-expressly free avatars to join #Free-dAvatars ~ in the meantime, join #We-Make-Free-Icons, which does not have a minimum
