Hello Armor Gamers!

Spring is finally here! And with the change of the seasons, so arrives the Spring Armatar Contest!

You can submit your own original armatars to this thread following the theme of the Spring. If it meets our quality standards, 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. You can also check out a few select returning Spring armatars from 2009 in the 5AP section.

There are some guidelines, and unless your entry follows these set of rules it will not be accepted.

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 great armatars =)

Very nice ones, the color BG ones should be an official set.
What does everyone think of my possums? (pg.28)

stevemac, those look nice, but they do not fit in with the current contest theme.

I have to say that all entries look really great! Makes my 'Spring Birdie' look pale in comparison... =P

@ sebi : my reasoning with my armatar was actually pretty simple... birds tend to 'come alive' during spring and lay eggs, so... =D

I bet Stevemac's set has a good chance of becoming a set for a 'general armatar contest', but I can understand Carlie saying it's not suited not for the spring themed armatars...

Huh?

@KR

Nice, a fatter, rounder and greener bee.

Right, I am archiving all contest armatars. I have finished this contest, onto the older ones.

If you read the first page, it tells you what size.

It needs to fit nicely at 100x100 pixels.
