The species which I created, are quite scared and when danger approached they camouflage with their surroundings. As you can see in the step by step way in which i created my avatar (as you can see in my blog), the steps to making it were quite simple but very effective.
If I had more time i would have added another step and given all of my avatars a certain pattern on their hair which they can be identified by. As said earlier, if i had time again, i would have also included some animals which come from the same planet of the species. The animals would have the same principals as the people and would turn invisible when predators come and sneak up on their food as well. As well as this, i think i should have experimented more with different techniques before deciding which one to, and which ones not to use.
In my first Avatar the girl looks expressionless, which is actually an expression called neutral. She is waiting for the predator to move away and just laying there not moving. I am very happy with my first avatar as I think it looks quite real and it is a picture which you have to look at twice to make sure you are actually seeing someone.
My second Avatar's expression, is surprised. Although I think it did turn out well, I didn't like it as much as my first Avatar. I think this is because the skin is green to match the environment and it doesn't look as good as the other skin colour. If I had more time on this image I would have experimented more with the hue and saturation to make it blend more and look more natural.
At first I found this blog quite annoying, but you see as time goes on it is good at tracking what you have done and would to need to do in the future. I am happy with my blog and look forward to using it even more next term. I also really enjoyed using photoshop, and wish we had another term of it. I am glad with the progress I have made, and at the start of the term i never thought i would be able to do this. Photoshop is a very useful tool and i look forward to using it again later in life.
