Time sure flies when you're having fun! Especially when you're busy frying your brains over that crunching puzzle, patiently laying low to snipe that enemy from the roof, raging while slashing thousands of zombies to a pulp, frenzy-feeding on loads of sushi or carefully planning your strategic march towards the enemy trenches! All this at your favorite web-address for free games online: Armor Games of course! And what do you know? Time really did fly! It's already 10 years since Armor Games started!!!

And because of this awesome 10th anniversary of Armor Games, we would like you to send in your own best memories of this website during the past decade of gaming on this website! Anything related to Armor Games is allowed! Whether it is your own fan art, your very own version of the website's most famous game characters (Important note: your own drawn versions, not a 1-on-1 copy or part of a character), a nice little Ferret or Unicorn, you name it! As long as it is related to the...

ARMOR GAMES' ARMATAR CONTEST: 10th ANNIVERSARY EDITION!!!

Here are the usual rules and guidelines to help you...

ARMATAR CONTEST GUIDELINES :

ne: All entries must be appropriate. They cannot be offensive or profane in nature. Keep it clean!
The entry must be square and at least 512x512 pixels in dimension.
Your entry must scale down well to 100x100. So if it looks good in its larger form, make sure that it will still look good when it is scaled down to the armatar size. Here are a few suggestions about this :
Sometimes keeping it simple is better. If you go into a lot of detail, it might not look as great when you scale it down. So keep in mind what the Armatar size will be and check often how it looks when it is scaled down.
Remember to save a lot while you are making it! Better to delete 20 -in between made- save files later on, than ending up with a finished piece you don't like or an end result that is showing up blurred when scaled down...
If you are able to do vector, by all means! That can help with the sharpness of the image. However, since they are small in Armatar size, this is probably not a big issue.
All entries must be fitting to the current contest's theme. If a certain entry is debatable to whatever extend, a Mod or Admin will give the decisive and final ruling for submission.
An entry must be completely original. You cannot use entire (or even elements from) pieces of artwork made by someone else, the entire armatar must be 100% created by you! A Moderator can ask you to provide conclusive proof that the entry was created by you entirely and you are obligated to provide this when asked for.

Plagiarism will not only exclude your submission by means of disqualification, it will also exclude you from participation in any future contests AND will have further consequences!

CLOSING DATE OF THIS CONTEST :

This contest will remain open from 10/13/2015 'till 01/14/2016!!
