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 =)

You don't like my sun? :C

I do actually, but I was going to give you a suggestion on it: would it be possible to make the mouth thinner? For some reason it bothers me that the mouth lines are thicker than the eye lines.

Hahah, Carlie is bothered my line thickness. OCD stand for "Odd Carlie Disorder." Mhhm.

I think it gives it an oddly anime-ish look. Heck, anytime there is an inanimate object smiling at me, I think "Oh hai, anime."

LOL XD You should try designing a website with me... THEN you could see how really picky I can be about design ;-)

Perhaps it is a weird reason? I dunno, it just draws too much attention away from the overall picture.

It's designed to be that way.

The mouth symbolizes how we owe everything we eat to the sun. It gives energy to the grass, which gives energy to insect, which gives energy to us. (Okay, I skipped a few steps there. Whatever.)

The rest of the picture alludes to how our desire to eat is more important than sight or even existence...for without nurishment we would all perish.

Geez, not that hard. *rolls eyes*

You might want to make the colors a little less shocking. Aqua and pink don't quite match.


Are you sure it's the aqua pink mix rather than the background? I'll try and revise it, but I made it while starting at 100x100 so it may be a little difficult.

Well to me it looks quite good, except if I were drawing it I would have drawn a flower at the end of the blade, but that's just me :/.

Hmm, well I'd have to completely redo it then if I wanted the flower to be connected to the ground. :/

Is it better than the first version? (page 15 I believe)

Nahh don't start over, unless you really want to. When you said that though, I thought of the Sword in the Stone. Like a sword stuck in the ground, or rock, and at the top is a flower.

Version 2 is better then the first one. The first one looked kinda odd :/. You should stick with this one if your not gonna change it.

Well, I'm not planning on redoing it just to flip it. Also, I'll stick with this unless it doesn't make it. :P I'm taking any suggestions to make it better (especially from Carlie since she's the one who puts them in the armatars).

For the llama already uploaded I think you should decorate the background or at least change the color from yellow. It doesn't fit the sheer white of the animal in the middle.
