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 =)

Hmm.. Nice, looks good. Still, in my opinion those hills look rather naked. A little more detail on 'em would be good. A little.

What program did you use this time?

I used Photoshop.
And again, I rushed. I might edit it.

Hmm.. You deleted the original? I was supposed to archive it. Darn. Well, looks better, the extra flowers are nice. All I can say is that the cloud could use something to make it look more like a cloud. It already looks like a cloud enough, though.

Isn't the deadline on like June 1st? Well, if it is, I'm not submitting anymore armatars. I guess I'm the last one (It's probably not going to get in).

I don't know. I remember it being the 20th/21st because of the summer solstice. Well technically summer really does begin on June 21 this year.

Same here where I live. I'm sleeping in the basement because I can't stand the heat. Oh and I'm in Illinois.

Not 100% original content but do have permissions for flowers and background. Just an idea.

So what part of it did you draw? Still, even if you didn't draw it, it's undoubtedly pretty cool.

Agreed with possum.

Looks cool, with the Armorgames logo added. Pretty cool. I don't know if Carlie will accept it though.

Sadly, the shield isn't original content and thus isn't qualified. What you'll need is to draw that yourself, background and shield.
