I decided to create this avatar as a personal project, due to taking up streaming as a hobby I wanted to create a visual way for me to represent myself and show when I am talking. To do this I use software that can detect when I'm talking and at what volume in order to swap between images to provide a visual indicator for when I speak. This also allowed me to create some personal branding as well as create an opportunity for me to learn new 2D graphic skills, using software such as Gimp.
This was one of the very first versions I created for the Avatar; it was fairly basic and didn't have much vision.
For this version, I had a stronger idea of what I wanted to create and was becoming more familiar with the tools within Gimp software
For this version, I decided I wanted to start again from scratch now with a deeper understanding of Gimp, and a far stronger concept idea in mind.
