Hello Armor Gamers!

It's that time again! Spring is a great season full of inspiration, which we are hoping will help you make some great armatars. Now I know that it isn't spring everywhere right now, but it is for the AG office. So how this works is that you can submit your own original armatars to this thread following the theme of Spring. If I like it, I will add it to the 0AP armatar section for all members to use! You can reference previous contests for a better idea of what this is all about here.

Keep in mind that there are some guidelines, and unless your entry follows these set of rules it will not be accepted. So be sure to check those out.

GUIDELINES:
1. Must be appropriate. Cannot be offensive or profane in nature. Try to keep it clean!
2. The entry must be square, and at least 100x100 pixels in dimension.
3. Must scale down well to 100x100. So if it is larger, make sure that it will still look good when it is scaled down to armatar size. A few suggestions about this:
- Sometimes simple is better. If you go into a lot of detail, it might not look as great when you scale it down. So just keep in mind what the final size will be.
- If you are able to do vector, that can help with the sharpness of the image. However, since they are so small this probably isn't a big issue.
4. Must be completely original. You cannot use elements from other piece of artwork, the entire armatar must be 100% original.
5. Must be spring themed.

Good luck! And I look forward to seeing some awesome spring armatars =)

I know what you're thinking "What do aliens have to do with Spring" but this is honestly supposed to be a lamb nestled among daffoldils at sunset on a spring day.

Hey, I've got a question. Can we enter more than one picture?
We've been allowed to do that the previous times, so I would assume yes. Especially since this is a contest with no other prize than being able to use your armatar.

Ok, thanks Zoph. I guess I'll start working on another one and try to make this one look better. I mean seriously, of the four that made it, mine is the worst. :P

O AP? That's a joke! That is an amazing armatar!!!! It's ripe for a Nobel prize. Who made it?... xtiamotx!! Well done on that! Liked both versions. They rock. I wouldn't be surprised if it became an actual armatar for 2000+ AP. Really well done... And the rest are too9I flipped through the pages, Flippin, so I saw yours too. And this person, and that one...)


Thanks! I'm glad everyone is liking the art I do. Maybe I'll share some more some time. ^_^

Oh no! Zophia wrote a one word comment. Must flag... Only joking. Flagging a mod, what a joke. Lovely picture. Really good. Looks sort of manga. Has mine been forgotten already? Sniff.

Tough, but it's for the fun, not money, sorry AP.
"What do aliens have to do with Spring"


An alien? I thought it was (/!&R"&!/·!/&·%!5 Inappropriate word that only robots could process). But the background and things around the lamb thing are pretty good.

yeah xiatmotx I am thinking if you draw often that you should try to participate in the Art Skills Competition some time. We need more good artists in there.

Oh yes, please do. :3 Follow the example of other users and create a thread for posting random art of yours in~

It's a myth that one word posts are always spam. They're ALMOST always spam, but occasionally there's not really a need to anything else.

Lovely picture. Really good. Looks sort of manga.
Thank you~, though I'm not sure what to think of the manga comment.

Nice one crimson. So the one you entered before is a May flower? Are there any pilgrims on it? :O

Okay, I'm really sorry for that pun. :P

I'm beginning to think of a new picture. I'm hoping to think up the rest of it soon.
