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 =)
Oh really? I though it was something else. That's a great job using paint.
*Smiles* Thanks!
Well Spring isn't ALWAYS sunshiny and happy. It has those rainy sad days. I should've added some rain... that would've made it better.
I know. But seeing as you yourself said the tree represents Spring, would a proper Spring armatar have a picture of Spring being destroyed by lightning? Just saying...
I don't think it's distorted at all. LOL I finally figured it out and you beat me too it. How did you do that anyway? I just resized it on picnik right now.
Lol, I used Picnik too.
It is distorted, seeing as your sun now looks like an oval.

Hmm..
I think you should put in something more to signify that it is spring. A tree, could be interpreted as summer. I dunno. Maybe some more vegetation, flowers etc.
Paint of course! I can't download anything on this crappy computer...
Why? GIMP's only 17 mb. Heck you could get Paint.NET, it's only 3.5 mb.
I wonder if Carlie is even checking this anymore? I guess I'll go alert her that there are some new entries.
She is. Just because someone is not visible, doesn't mean they are no t there. She's busy and has a life like all of us you know.
I know. I was just wondering since it was pretty inactive not too long ago...
Well, no need to wonder or worry. She checks this thread when needed. The rush of spring ended last month. There's around three weeks left to submit I think. If someone makes an awesome armatar within that timeframe, it'll be put in. Has happened in the past.
When the summer contest comes, everyone will be busy again and I will be too.
