We are not having anavatar screenshot contest as of yet, but I'd like to give you a chance to participate directly in GalaXseeds.

As you may have seen or will see, you have a new, VIP section in your inventory. Among the VIP items are "sets", special get-ups which act as new avatars. The moderator, "Green Beanie" avatar is one of them (picture below, avatar on the left).

I'll add that these avatars will be able to wear t-shirts and pants, like the Santa Claus suit shown below!

 So, what I'd like to offer you is this: design your own. Here are some guidelines.

• Name: for example the second avatar above is called "The mime"
• Description and/or drawing if you want: for example, the Mime is inspired by Marcel Marceau.
• Text: The Mime's text is "Express your awesomeness without a single word."
• Get-up Idea: The Mime could use a hat like le Mime Marceau

From there only two rules:

- the more detailed, the easier for us to use

- the wackier, the merrier!

The winning avatar will get in time in the game shops and it will given to its designer. The winner will be decided after this contest ends just after Valentine's Day.

Ok I can't believe I'm actually entering this. I'm terrible at pixelating things.

thanks! ill be sure to post more. Are you allowed to copy ideas from events in real life like tv shows or olympics?

instead of the get up pacifier i posted earlier can you create a get up that is like a cape with a maple leaf on it to make the cape match the knight's emblem for canada?

Currently, no it's not possible. It would entail a whole lot more work on each avatar, to anchor the item on the arm while the character is moving. It doesn't sound that difficult, but believe me the artists do need a lot of time.

But there are other way to get this done, like having one arm actually be the spear. Remember the wackier the better!
