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'm just going to thank Zoph for this awesome armatar!
It must be, for Carlie is using it too!

*three cheers for Zophia*

I have created yet another picture. although some may not like it (Including me) some others may.

Here it is:

I think I shouldn't have added those squiggly lines on the flower. Make it look bad. Do you think I should get rid of it?

A later post won't have the lines on.

Here are three different versions of it. Tell me which one people like best, and that will be the one to add.

Okay, time for the first version of my next entry. Any ideas to improve it would help. Also, the reason it may look kind of...pixel-ly is because I started it in paint at 100x100.

Aww, no one? No ideas to improve it?

ulimitedpower, the first one of those three is the best in my opinion, just to let you know.

Uli (can I call you that?), the middle one is win. The bottom one is too plain and the top one is weird.

Dragon, creepy sword, but I like it a bit. Maybe a spring-themed background?

Maybe some shading to add some depth to the eggs? Otherwise it kind of looks like a face.

Yea I tried added some shading and different coloring to the eggs and looked a little worse. I also might need to add shading to the nest too. I'll do that tomorrow.
