About: With this piece, I chose not to make an actual self portrait of myself. Instead, I wanted to go with something more symbolic of who I am. I tend to describe myself as very nerdy, and following this theme, I used my love for DnD. The data points I referenced was the amount of times I used certain dice. Since the d20 gets used the most, I decided to make the hexagon the base for the head. Since d4s and d6s are the next two I used the most, I used them to decorate the face with some horns. To really bring this avatar to life, I added mouse interaction to the pupils as well microphone based activity for the mouth. Lastly, I wanted to add something a bit more fun, so I added a draw feature that follows the mouse and changes color upon clicking. I struggled a little bit with drawing the correct shapes and placing them where I wanted. Overall, I had fun though and would like to create a piece with even more interactivity.
