Hello Armor Gamers!

It's that time again! Summer is here and it is time for a new armatar contest! So how this works is that you can submit your own original armatars to this thread following the theme of Summer. If I like it, I will add it to the 1AP 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 summer themed.

Good luck! And I look forward to seeing some awesome summer armatars =)

Balloon! I'm running out of ideas now, what are some summer sports that would be good to make armatars for?

I can do a tennis racket, give me a few hours, though, I made these ones earlier and just posted them now.

Water polo, mayhaps?

Hehe, you should make a tennis racket left out in the sun on a hot summer's day. You know, for Tennisman's sake.

Could you possibly make a red sun?
Or something similar that would work for me?
Like maybe even a basketball...

Oh yeah, great ideas, I'll get started on them right now. Hopefully they'll make the cut!

Hard to fit in a small image size for an avatar.

I increased the size of my image to 1000X1000 piels when I was making it, then I sent it to a resizing site to shrink it. It turned out pretty well, I think. It should work for anything else, too.

Why would you change it? If mine makes it (which it won't due to lack of detail and in light of far better ones) I wouldn't ever change it. I like Arizona : ).

Thank you! ^.^

I'm well aware of the anatomy of a manta ray, but I decided it would look better if I put a smiley face on it's back.

Just thought I'd make that clear, for future reference.

lol I thought it was implied, cartoons and characters don't always have to make sense anatomically. Most cartoons only have 4 fingers!

Then when you take into consideration how many talking animals that stand erect on two legs there are on TV...

Lol. Off-topicness. Sorry, mods!
