Free Avatars: Endangered SpeciesWe took a poll, and our watchers chose to make April 2010 all about making avatars in the likeness of endangered species to help raise awareness.
If you read the information provided in this article, you may start to feel a little sad or angry for all the animals that are at risk of extinction. That's a very human response. However, the links provided below are meant to give you an opportunity to help make a brighter future for our world. This article isn't supposed to depress you; it's meant to explain a bit how we got to this point and to offer hope. You can do something for these beautiful creatures, even if all you do is share the link to this page with your friends to help spread the word: "There are solutions!"
The avatars within this article depict endangered or threatened species that need help to survive in our world. The iconists that participated in this challenge were invited to create FREE 5

What is Egyptology?
"Egyptology (from Egypt and Greek -λογία, -logia. Arabic: علم المصريات‎) is the study of ancient Egyptian history, language, literature, religion, and art from the 5th millennium BC until the end of its native religious practices in the AD 4th century. A practitioner of the discipline is an "Egyptologist". In Europe, particularly on the Continent, Egyptology is primarily regarded as being a philological discipline, while in North America it is often regarded as a branch of archaeology."

Free Love Avatars (Bonus plz News!)

Journals / Art News / Customization

Before we get to the features, I'd like to apologize that this article is a bit late. Although, my busy schedule is kind of your gain because now I feel I should make it up to you for being so patient with me.

So here's an announcement that should appease all you lovely iconists that work so hard to create beautiful free avvies for everyone...

Plz Accounts Database!

Click the thumb below to download a script to search for, copy, and paste your favorite plz icons into your messages at dA.

If you'd rather not use the script, go to helpplz.info where you can add, find, copy, and paste all the plz icons you can imagine!

Thanks to ~famine-star for making this happen!
Related News Article

What this means is that our project's old listing of plz accounts will not be updated anymore. The links on our main page and at #Free-dAvatars have been changed to lead you to helpplz.info from now on. I spent several hours the other day at helpplz.info, adding all the plz icons (that you helped us find, thank you!) to the database. We've officially switched over to this new and improved way of listing plz accounts at dA. This will save time for our project's admin and for anyone else that uses our links to find plz accounts. The database currently has almost 25,500 plz accounts listed, which is far better than we could do with our little journal updates. Cheers to that!

Now for the Main Event...

FREE AVATARS OF LOVE!

February 2011 was a month of love for our group challenge participants. (We even had a Love Poll!) We challenged everybody to create Free VALENTINE Avatars, and here are the results!!

Please and follow any terms of use set forth by the artist before using any of these FREE avvies. Thanks to everyone that participated in our group challenge! As always, our challenges are open for everyone to participate each month! (See below for our Current Challenge info.)
