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 like yours Jrmagic, although it needs a background. Gray would look great with it.

Thanks Flippin. Now that you mention it, gray would look good.

I'll get V2 Up tomorrow, thanks.

You're welcome Jrmagic.

Okay I'm just going to add a submission in honor of Crimson.

I made the background by myself but the fruit is a default brush on Gimp. (I'm getting better at this stuff.)

jrmagic, for some reason yours won't upload right? I'm not quite sure, because it is in the right format. But it just turns up as a black square...

Carlie, can you tell me what I did wrong with my armatar so I can make it better in the future? Oh, and disregard that second one I made, that was simply a joke.

Sorry Carlie, (rhyme!) your uploader must've disliked .pngs. No need to fear, I've got a jpeg here. With background and all, hopefully you like it better.

If not, I'll revert to the other one.

Hey everyone. It's my birthday(yay)! Thank you for the present Carlie (you uploaded 2 of my armatars!).
I will celebrate with my worst armatar! I always have the smiley there. I see you liked my clouds so I added a few of them. Not sure if you can seem them though. Also, I don't really mind if you (Carlie) upload it or not, I'm just throwing it here because it's my birthday and it shows how happy I am today.

Alas! A very bad armatar! Don't enjoy~

All right, don't upload this one if it's sufficient enough, because it's version 1. The next version I'm going to add some clouds, maybe rain, etc.
