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 =)

Flippin, it's amazing, I like the contrast, but it should be a bit more noticeable out of all the other 30 spring armatars or so.

Maybe decorate the sun? A bird in the background?

Unfortunately, the layers weren't separate, and I couldn't remove the sun. However, I managed to get a new background, and here's a sunset.

Hope it's not too bad. ^_^

Flippin, as to not be generic, maybe put a smirk on the sun. Some sort of evil grin, I don't know.

please no more Suns with facial features. The only way I see that you could decorate you sun is to give it some type of glare, and maybe cover it up a little with some clouds. Otherwise I can't see anything more you could do with it.

Flippin, that's a nice picture you got there ^^
Is it all done in paint?

Well, I guess you could put it up just the way it is...
Not saying it was bad...just a little...boring.

Actually it was made with Gimp 2.

I would think he is talking about Sun since the caterpillar is awesome, and I was ready to flip if you said that you made it in MS paint or something just because of the gradient in the background.

Haha,yeah that would be pretty hard to do in Ms paint. I have made some pretty neat things with paint though.

(Just noticed I spelled caterpillar wrong. *Don't be a grammar nazi, dont bea grammer natszee.)

You can barely see the difference but it should look better.
