Avatar...

Originally, I wanted to create an avatar that reflected my own appearance. Then I realised how damn hard that is. I did try - numerous times, but I found it very difficult to create a shape that looks like a human, let alone me! I've never been able to draw people and it seems it's no different with modelling. Fair play to everyone who's created an avatar that looks like them.

So this presented a problem and I needed to think of a way around it. I thought if I can't show my appearance with my avatar, then I want to put the emphasis on displaying my personality. So this is the concept I've come up with...

My avatar is my name [STE], with each letter showing a different aspect of my personality. The 'T' is the main body of the avatar, which holds the other letters in each hand. As it is the main body it shows the main part of my personality, which is my casual/laid back approach to life.
The 'S' shows that I like to go out and have a good night.
The 'E' shows that I can be a very hard worker when I need to be.


Laid back.


Party time.


Hard worker - like to get things done.

Three major parts of my personality.
I dont tend to wear party hats when I go out, I don't usually wear shades, and I don't wear ties when I'm working, but this isn't based on my appearance, it's based on showing the different sides to my personality and I feel these features emphasise this.

I realise it isn't great quality, but I like the concept and feel it's a decent compromise for my lack of 3D modelling skills.
