Hello Armor Gamers!

It's that time again! Summer is here and it is time for a new armatar contest! So how this works is that you can submit your own original armatars to this thread following the theme of Summer. If I like it, I will add it to the 1AP 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 summer themed.

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

So summer colors = summer themed?

I've been sitting here trying to come up with an idea, but then I looked at some of the entries and noticed that they were just swirls with summer-like colors. (And there's nothing wrong with that!)


If you look at the ones (except the first one) that actually made it they are pictures with a summer theme to them. If you make on like that it has a very small chance of being picked.

Who made it? It's good, the manta's just a bit small.

And thanks. It hard to work with MS paint, keep in mind.

Erk... it submitted before I was done...

It was hard to make a proportional manta ray while still keeping the rest of the picture proportional. I would have made it bigger, but it just ended up that way. *Shrug*
