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 =)

@jrmagic
hmm the only suggestion I would make would be to work on the grass at the bottom of the armatar, but overall I like the flower part and the gradient in the background.

Anyways I somehow have a saved file as a photoshop project file with all the layers intact. I saved it before it was resized, and didn't bother resizing it again, so here it is in full size. Its better that way because I don't want this version to be an armatar, and it allows you to look at all the small details of it.

...nope.

That is why all the ones you see are .jpeg.

I would hate it if we had .gif Armatars. Soo many things moving and giving me headaches....>_<

Hmm, I actually like the version without the gradient quite a bit more. It's simpler.

I think the tree might look better without the sun. It makes the picture look weird for some reason. Good job though.
