Ayeaka Reinsch, 16, offers her steely avatar "K9U.exe" for the Teen Avatar Expo.
"K9U.exe," she tells me, "is the product of a boredom-induced doodle at school during a lecture... In these screen captures, I am in Sand Box Island 4, roughly 500 meters into the air. I custom-built the surroundings for 'camera purposes.'"
"I idly scribbled out a mechanized canine head, and it soon became a design sketch, going over paw styles, both hand and foot, the tail, and even a pair of bladed mech wings. Naturally, this meant that the instant I came home from school, I began to build it.
"K9U.exe was built over the process of a week. The wings had been started some time ago, and only required resizing.
"K9U.exe is scripted with blinking 'LED' eyes, and pawpads, and has additional flashing lights throughout its body. It's covered from head to toe in dangerous blades-- but that doesn't stop it from joining other furries in a dance when Techno's involved!"
If you're on the Teen Grid and want to enter your avatar in the Expo, here are guidelines for submission:
-
Take 1-3 screenshots of your avatar at its most amazing. Make sure
they're .jpegs that are well lit, close-up, and detailed, and without
the interface in the shot.
- No Photoshopping or other post-production; in-world particles effects
and other "natural" elements are fine.
- Try to include a cool background in the image.
- No pics over 500K please!
- Include a description of your avatar, where you took the screenshot,
how you customized the avatar, and what you like about it most. Also
tell us what inspired you to create it.
- Be sure to include your avatar name for credit. If you like, include
your RL age.
- E-mail them and the description to [email protected]
- Deadline is April 1st!
That is a nice avatar. Always wearing robot avatars myself, I know a good quality mechanical when I see one. Great work. :D
