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 =)

Hot summer sun! There's a lot of detail in there, but it's only clear on the full version. I'll get started on the tennis racket

Well, how about a tennis ball? It'll be easier to make and you'll see more of it. I'm afraid a tennis racket by itself may be too small for the armatar since the handle is so skinny...I'll make it work.

A tennis ball will work. I'm still kind of wondering on how long it will take?

Maybe just not show a full view of the handle? Cut it off at the edge?

*sigh* One less person using my armatar. Oh well.

I'm still figuring that out, the ball may take 30 mins.

Noticeable paint??? What do you mean?

I drew some cracks on it and I gave the background a texture to make it more interesting.

I wonder if I could make something in Apophysis. I wonder what I could make. . . .

I'll make a monsoon rain : ).

The tennis ball was harder than I expected, but I think I got the white curve right.

Man, how do you get the color, shading, texture and brightness of every single picture as perfect as a real one?
