Reflection term 1

I think this term I have had the chance to learn something new and different! I found it hard to keep up with my blog as you can tell I am pretty much putting it all in now! I am very pleased how I created my first avatar (angry), I think personally it was much better then the second avatar (happy). Even though it took the most time to complete the creation. The hardest thing for me this term was trying to keep putting things on my blog and trying to complete my avatar. Even though it was really fun creating my own race of people I also didn't really start on my race of people when we were told to. I didn't really know what I was going to do with creating them or how they would look! But near the end of the term I kinda thought of more good ideas but I don't know why I didn't think of them before? If I could do this term all over again I think I would try to get my blog happening faster and not waiting till the last minute to put everything down. And I would've wanted to start my avatar earlier so I could have had time to place my fangs in my angry avatar picture. I think next term I will try to do as Mr Powell says and do my blog every 2-3 times a week so it won't get out of hand next time.

Inspiring images for my avatars

Sorry I didn't put these up earlier!

Angry:










































Happy:

My Watrins happy avatar

This is my happy Watrins avatar, I think that it doesn't look as good as the angry avatar. But I think I gave it a good shot at completing this avatar. What I didn't like about this avatar was that the mouth looked out of place and awkward. I didn't really realise it looked so bad until I was beginning to cut out the mouth to turn it black. But it was too late to try to change the mouth so I just left it as it was. I also think I made the nose too big for the face but I think that it kinda is an out of this world avatar so it would look a little odd.

Background avatar happy

The background I have chosen for my avatar is in the water in the day. Since the Watrins live underwater while it is day I thought it would be a great background to show that they were happy in a way where they live.















The background is nice and happy which also reflects on the avatars behaviour too. Also with the fish in the background it gives it a tropical edge to it.

Avatar's eyes happy

My happy Watrins eyes were very different from my first avatar's eyes but they were still from toothless, in 'How to train your dragon'. These eyes were big and black but the outside of the pupil instead of being multicoloured it was yellow. Weird colour of an eye to be huh. I found as I tried placing the eyes that they were uneven so I decided to rotate the left eye so it would look more balanced.

Watrins hair happy

The hair actually stayed the same like the skin, all I did with the hair was drag it onto my avatar and zoom in on it so the hair would've fit my head. There really wasn't much change in the hair. But it was still Miranda Kerr's hair.

Skin of my avatar happy

Well I didn't really change a thing with my skin I just had a different position I had to place it in. Therefore, what I did was just cut around the areas my skin wasn't showing and rubbed it all out. Which wasn't much different then what I did before.
