What is your profile picture of and what does it mean?

Postby senntenial » 01 Jan 2014 20:22

I've never thought much about it until now. We all have some pretty interesting images for our accounts. They might be our logo, a character, or some musician. Why did you pick the image that you did when joining this site and why?

As for me, I just made mine in a couple seconds since I wanted to try out After Effects on my newer computer.

Just a filler while I wait for my lazy ass to get up and actually draw my logo. I'll get around to it eventually.

My OC pony.

Originally a joke ("yeah it's laughably half-assed, but at least it's not pony creator!") but strangely enough I've actually grown kind of fond of it.

Applejack is my favorite pony, so I chose to create her from the ground up in Autodesk Maya as my first character rig. Started with a sketch, created the geometry, projected UVs, created textures, rigged it for animation, realized my proportions were WAY off, went back to the modeling stage, re-did my UVs, re-did the rigging, created ~30 blendshapes for facial expressions, spent 2 months figuring out Maya nHair, created a hat, and made a bump map for the hat.

Total time spent: ~4.5 months (2.5 months if you take out the time learning nHair). It was a lot of work, but if I decided to redo the same thing again, I could probably do it in less than a month, simply because I'm familiar with the program now.

I was so fascinated with the idea that you could take a simple 2d sketch, and bring a full character to life. It sort of feels like you're playing god in a way, giving life and soul to a character from the ground up. I wanted to create an avatar that looked like she was hanging over the edge of the avatar box, with a, "Hey you!" kind of expression.

Tada!

Mine's my OC. I commissioned him from an artist I know. Really not much else to say. At some point I'd like to commission a vectored image of him, so he looks more show-accurate.

I feel like I can't not talk about why my OC (or, well, technically avatar, but w/e) happens to be a changeling, but because it's kind of boring, I'll spoiler it for people who don't want to read my babble.

Spoiler Why my avatar is a changeling:
When I first began making music under the name ClaviSound, I had no idea what my "OC" would be, so I kind of just avoided having one for a long time. This is what my avatar used to be. The piano thing was intended to be a cutie mark at some point I think, but it was eventually rendered moot anyway.

As I began shifting from song ponifications to original content in pony rap, though, I was looking for resources for the cover art of a rap cover and I wanted the original artist and me to be staring each other down, so to speak. Of course, I lacked an OC, so I stuck a vector of the changeling drone from this picture up there and rationalized it as a placeholder until I decided on what my "real" OC was going to look like.

As you can likely guess, that never happened, and I've been publishing pony music as a changeling ever since.

As for this particular avatar, I used to know Inkscape pretty well and I wanted a nice picture of a changeling derpface, so I vectored what I intended to be a changeling throwing up its arms in a "yay" pose with its eyes all googly and stuck it over a random gradient background... although apparently people just think it has legs sprouting out of its back instead of wings, which is just fine with me, haha

I can't type cursive, so I don't know what's supposed to go in my signature.

Don't quote me.

I hadn't even noticed that he had a derp face until you mentioned it just now.

On a different forum, I was awarded two different ranks, one with a black bar in my signature and the other with a blue one. In jest, I took the album art from Miike Snow's Black and Blue, and worked some MSPaint magic on the silhouette of a jackalope (jackrabbit/antelope, idk why); it turned out more lulzy than I could've hoped.

Also, putting the image in Harmor's image-synthesis yields hilarious results.

Well, on this forum it's human Floots. I chose it because it's adorable and well-drawn. That's pretty much my entire reasoning.

But everywhere else I use this:
Image
because hearts are cool and I play the cello, whose parts are normally in the bass clef which just so happen to look like halves of a heart. So I looked for an image of a double bass clef heart, and, behold, there was one. I wish I had the skills to make my own version, though, instead of just lifting this one. The black and gold color scheme is neat, though.
