Over the past few days i have been admiring some of the great artwork people have been submitting into the art forums. I am also aware that many people say that want more new armatars. I thought it could be a good idea to put these peoples talents to use and have a competition to see who could make the best armatars and the top 5 get theirs submitted into the site for real. I just think it would be kl because it would let the people on the site feel more involved and we would get more armatars as some people have been asking for.

Hmm it could be a pretty good actually but what if there was no good submitions?And they were not good armatars and would it be a customised theme?It is pretty good suggestion!

Well, Arax_Nisanu (Naturally) would make great armatars... But a new user that lied about his age would just spam pictures of Clifford.

I think opening armatar jobs the the public is just a bad idea.

well if the armatars were not good enough( i doubt this would be the case) then they would just not be used.

Well Arax unfortunately wouldn't be a good candidate. He is more of a render man, as in he takes a picture and does effects around it to bring out the prettyness of the picture, completely different area. It's like saying a professional tennis player is a pro football player because he is good at sports.

But anyways this is a bad idea because this would start armartars of a different genre.
All the armartars are made by one guy with one specific art genre and every single armartar follows that. That's why they are so nice, it's not like having random pictures but rather all the stuff is the same style so it fits in nice with the site. Having other people do armartars would look unclean and sporadically bad.

I think this is a great idea! And maybe it would be themed like the art competitions.

Well, before we can start something like that, Carlie would have to authorize it, so starting this now would most likely be a waste of time. If Carlie approves, then do it, but don't do it yet.

Im not saying its starting now. I was just seeing if people thought it would be a good idea or not.

I think this idea has been brought up before... there would be too many inappropriate submissions, and it would just create more work for the mods.

Well, we do have some great artists on this website, and I would love to see members of Armorgames participate in armatar-making, but I think we should leave it to the AG team to do it. Organizing a contest like this will take down their time even more, and they don't have much time already. I think we already have a good batch of armatars and are not that much in need of new ones. When they think the time is right, they'll release new ones. This is only my opinion.

I don't think it's the mods, I think John makes the armatars...

I think we should stick with one art style on here. If we had other people making armatars then there would be different artstyles. We should stick to a single one so everythign is not messy.

I think this idea has been presented before, and for some reason we decided against it. The armatars all have a specific style, and although the winning one might be cool, it might just stick out as way different than all the others.

No need to be sorry. Ideas are what we thrive off. It was rejected, go to the next, no need to be sorry for an idea!
