Avatar - part 2

Here in part 2 im going to be talking about a alot simpler system for avatar making. It is the nintendo wii system, the "Mii".

In Mii making avatars is not easier but just alot more cartoony so its abit more difficult to make a character resemble you.

This is my me, it sort of looks like me, with a bit of imagination, but the features provided are limited so its difficult.

although saying that, it is also a major point about Mii Channel that you use these limited supplies to create something amazing with imagination and creativity.

These are some characters made by adding random bits together, it is really difficult to make so Nintendo even brought out a contest channel for peopel to enter their proud creations into.

There thousands of funny characters made that freakishly resemble actors, cartoon characters etc, it just shows how far you can go by that little bit more of effort.

Avatars

Whilst designing for my avatar, I looked into other places where I have already got a avatar to compare what Im going to do for this project. Im also looking into the environment it's in.

Playstation Home

This is my character on playstation home, it highly resembles me (apparently).
Theres lots of choices on the edit screen for facial and body features so you can make it look quite like yourself, or exaclty liek yourself, if you have that much time on your hands to go through it all.

here we see the edit menu where you can edit your character to how you like, if you was to enter the head or torso section you will find precise editing controls for individual features of that part.


here is a shot of me standing in the virtual city of plystation, around the city and in the shopping area there are little entertainment gimics laying around for users to enjoy.

here Im standing in front of the bowling arcade, theres not also bowling to play but also pool and arcade games such as asteroids etc. this shot also shows a text conversation going on at the bottom left of the screen.

here is a chess game that can be accessed through tables around the environment, inside shopping areas, in the park etc.

here is me dancing with random people in the shopping centre, there is also alot of other little gimics you can do, such as hand signals and other body language.

logo

These are versions of my logo im workign on, the basic design is same as before, ( jolly roger ), heres the first version -

this is the basic layout of the logo, quite simple, on 3 of the 4 bones tickign out there are my tattoos on the end, just to add abit more personality to it, the hair and the stretched ears also add to the effect. thought on it for a while about the cigarette, and i thought since im do smoke abit, i might as well add it on. the smoke is just to look pretty :D

this is the the edited version of the first one, a scarf has been added on to give it more colour and also i do wear scarves often so i thought it would be nice to add it on.

this is the third version, the only thing added on is headphones, i think it just makes it look that little cooler than before. i'm not sure if i might do variations from the first design, if not then this third design might be the chosen one.

moodboard

well heres the first attempt at a moodboard, hopefully I've done it correctly, alterations will be made later on after I get some more opinions on it
