Forums → The Tavern → Armatars

They will if I ever get the ability to upload armatars. Though I might keep either for myself.

Others to consider:





And so forth.
Most of those were requested, the last was supposed to be released for Halloween 2010, but mods rarely gets their requests heard.
I had hoped, though, since most users at the time was begging for another armatar contest, so at least having something else to change to might have made them happy.

Either way, deer.

that fiery bird from you is cool too
they should make armatars from dragons
they're cool

Yeah does armatars are pretty boss~! They should allow you to create ur own or at least take a picture of urself and use it as an armatar

There are some great artists on AG. Would it not be an idea to have a competition for the general membership to design a new Armatar?

Well, it would need the approval from the staff, which is busy with AGv3. Otherwise I would already have whipped up a new seasonal/topic armatar contest like the old seasonal contests Carlie ran.

that's a good idea

Maybe a way forward would be that a competition on Armatars may provide a bit more interactivity when the switch is happening. It could be run on the forums, overseen by the mods and maybe even judged by the mods. All the admin would have to do is insert the winning Armatar, and perhaps award points to the winner.

That's what they currently have to do, though. Put them up, take them down when the contest time is over.
But as it is, custom armatars might not even be an option of AGv3 due to copyright issues.

Would it work if the contest was based on a theme? Like unicorns or dragons, something along those lines?

I don't really know. As mentioned, I would gladly run it if I had the support from the staff, knowing they would put it up when I had chosen some.
But AGv3 comes first, I guess. I am pretty sure I haven't been the only one asking about it over the last year, but I can't really say I have gotten a reply saying "Sure, go ahead."
And to be completely honest, I have pretty much given up on the idea.
Doesn't stop me from trying to imitate the current style of armatars to make more.

Any chance of an unofficial one then? Just for fun in Art/Writing forum?

I love the armatar I'm using now. Then I like the hydra, the man with a tornado in his hand and the shield with green background.

I love the snake (was my 2nd favorite armatar) and the one I'm using now because It kind of look like a Medieval merchant or an architect even though it's a scholar.

I like the shield with the orange background.
