Hello Armor Gamers!

The Halloween Armatar Contest was so successful, that we will be doing it for other holidays as well! It was a great opportunity to see all of the creative talent on Armor Games.

So now we are on the theme of Thanksgiving! I know this is a mostly Americanized holiday, and that it doesn't really reflect what happened historically... but it is still a good time of year to spend time with friends and family, and eat some delicious food!

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 Thanksgiving themed.

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

I was thinking of making a cranberry pie, but I think that's too hard. Anything else related to Thanksgiving that we haven't already included in the armatars?

Cranberry sauce from the can!:

Took forever to get somewhat of a balance of color, although I'm still not sure about the yellow glow..

Other than the cornucopia, not that I can think of. Make the pie. These food armatars are making me rather hungry.

Gantic, do you think you could crop that one down a little? Just make the cranberry sauce bigger?

I cropped the cranberry down because I thought it was too big. 25% larger:

Very realistic! :P

Maybe you can add a table so it isn't floating.

(Just the part that the can is sitting on)

Hey Gantic, really good job on hitting the real armater look!

I realized I missed the red corner dealies.

The turkey looks great at all sizes, but it's hard to see that it's praying though.

I'm not really into making a background more than using colors. The hand turkey was an exception. I like the feedback.

I think I'll withhold my last one. It feels like I've submitted too many already.

Bad Steam...

What do you think?

I like it better than the turkey!

The black steam lines don't look right. It looks like the pie is burnt or angry.

Yeah...I know...I tried numerous times to get them right...

If someone would be willing to fix the steam lines up...*cough*gantic*cough*...It would be much appreciated!

That's just because you've never seen a turkey pray before. :P

And Gantic, do submit your last one, there's no limit to the amount of submissions one user can make, so~

I'll preempt Christmas armatars and end the turkey dinner. I can't get the background right, so the colors might not work well.
