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 =)

Carlie doesn't like any of my entries

I didn't originally see that you had posted a cleaned up version. I was actually going to let you know that I really liked the idea, but it just needed to be cleaned up. But it seems you already did it, I just missed it the first time around ;-)

Why is it so much harder to get them accepted now??? It was easier last time :'(

Well, you must remember that it is a contest still. Some will get in, some won't.

@xtiamotx: I really like that concept! The only problem I think would be that she is rather unclothed... would it be possible to put like... vines around her or something? Just something a bit more covering.

:0 Zega, how come you didn't give me credit for giving you the idea of a tree? I helped you, giving you ways to perfect it. Oh the power of MSN.

Next time Z, next time.

I wracked and WRACKED my brain trying to figure out how to make a depressing yet "Spring" themed armatar. I just went with my normal alternative but I'm rather pleased with it. Image was done with a mouse and GIMP and has the dimensions 400x400. Here it is:

I am getting sooooo lazy these days TT TT
But thank you. And obviously based on Strop for fun.

Maybe strops younger days?

Hmm....why am I thinking of throwing my monitor out the window? I have no idea

Please add my depressing flower that survived a bombing! It'd mean a looooot.
