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 =)

Are you currently working on an armatar?


Nope not today. I don't know what I could draw yet. That last idea I got from asking my mom what some Spring related things are and when she said leaves and wind it just hit me, so until I get another idea I probably won't be doing another armatar. I mean I already have 3 up there now anyways.

That's really good, Plokkey. I didn't think about doing a bird's nest. :]

Aww, chin up! Just keep experimenting and remember to save save save! I often go through several versions of a drawing before I'm happy with it.

Just call me tiamot. ^_^ the x's got added in when my email was bad on my first sign up attempt. (I've been meaning to e-mail the admins.)


Anyway, I use a combo of photoshop and corel painter, and a tablet.

Corel Painter is an interesting program~ I never got the hang of it, but it's ability to emulate real media when used right is fascinating.

This is what the arrival of spring means to me:

Whether or not it's a good armatar, I don't know. But it's an awesome side of spring^^

Zophia, I like your armatar but it just doesn't fit me.

Also, nice Flippin.
Could have a tad bit warmer colors though..

(it just doesn't attract)
