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 =)
grr ninja'd even though mine is in .png format and yours is a .jpg but anyways nice little(literally small) armatar you have there(although they are all small to tell you the truth...even though they could be smaller....)
What's the difference between .jpeg and .png? I didn't think it mattered
well there is a huge difference .png takes half as much memory when it saves(which is useful when you try to upload a custom avatar in certain forums such as Con Artists new forum on his site) and they save with higher quality. If you compare the two you will find the .jpg is slightly faded in comparison to the .png so yes there is a difference.
Looks nice. Just to indulge my curiosity, could you post a version without the layer style shadings or the dark blue gradient at the top? I think it might look a bit more elegant without them.
