I just wanted to let you guys know a little bit about what is happening with the armatars.
Firstly, I will be taking down the Halloween armatars tonight. I hope to do this for future holidays as well. How it will work is that I will open up submissions roughly a week before the holiday in question, and keep up the armatars for a week after the holiday.
Secondly, we have a new armatar artist! I am going to put up a few sample armatars from the new batch so that you can get a feel for the style. I would appreciate it if you all could check them out, and then let me know what your opinions are. Please try to make any feedback constructive.
That's it for now! I will keep you updated on further armatar additions, and holiday contest opportunities.
It may take a while, but I would think they would revert back to blank.
I'm gonna be one of those who waits for the effect. :P
Also, I totally adore the new armatar style, it's awesomely pretty, but it REALLY doesn't match the old one. Like really. That being said, when there's a good bunch of both styles available, hopefully it won't look so odd...
@Carlie: One of the cons I have seen in the threads suggesting user created armatars, have been that they wouldn't match the style of the official armatars. Now there's two different styles, making it less of an issue... But I guess that was put down already, with the holiday armatars. Not saying I think we should be able to submit (submit, as opposed to upload) armatars, just saying that particular reason makes less sense now.
I'm not sure if I mind it or not. It will definitely take some time to get used to. But since I like the style in which the new ones are drawn, I guess I'm okay with it.
@ArmorHero: Those two are just a preview... Meaning they have more, right?
There are a great many people that like the new previews of the new artist's armatars. I really look forward to the new batch, and I do not care if the art style is different than the other's. I personally like this artist's style better, but that doesn't mean that I didn't like the older artist's. Like I said last night, this artist has a newfound reputation brewing in AG! =)
I think they both are good but the warrior looks kind of... simple. I don't think it's the best. It looks like it was done with a black pen or in paint. Especially the pattern on the helmet... 7/10 (I'm a bit of a critic, that's a high rating from me.
The hydra. Pretty awesome, and the shading is perfect. I would use it but everyone else does. Amazingly coloured, it is awesome. 9/10
So will I get to keep this one forever, and go down in the books as the one guy who has a funny armature that no one else can find? lol
Any how.......I would like to tell this new mistery artist that they are well........AMAZING! I really like this new theme, they look a bit more realistic then the old cartoonish ones. And will they be spread out among diffrent AP ranges?

Oooh, I wasn't aware of that. It makes more sense now.
And with the holiday armatars I don't think it was an issue because they were only temporary, and holiday themed. So it will be different than the normal style anyways.
