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 =)

Tuna, but it isn't 100x100 ;-P


What are you talking about of course it is, just look at this version of it that just happens to be in my Photobucket, that I totally didn't just scale to fit 100x100 pixels...

Is that a coil, or a spring...? It's just an example, isn't it? Please tell me it is..O_O

Wooooah, I think it just totally tricked me out... I guess I was looking more at the shape than seeing the actual dimensions?

That looks really good Sam, although you might want to add some grass around it instead of dirt. Really great job though. I love the shadow as well.

Well, the flaw like Evil said, is it's too big. It's supposed to be 100x100.

I like the cloud, because we can argue about what it's shaped like. >

It's a conch!

Anyway... the shadow is good, too, but like Flippin said, it needs some grass or something.

Now... on to business. What about my armatar, people? Spring Sword v2.1?

It's supposed to be easily scaled down to 100x100.

Fixed.
Really, drawing in a bigger format, and uploading in that format as well is no sin, it is just showing your artwork.

Sam, you gonna add grass or something other than dirt? I mean, it looks cool with the shadow and all, but there could be some grass. :P

... It's a conch!

The flower was just planted, so there isn't any grass.

:O You're gonna have an emo flower if it's all by itself.

Just kidding, but maybe not.

... I'm write in saying the cloud is shaped like a conch, right?
