From the mists of the Teen grid, a warrior rides through: Roland Udal, elegantly detailed and loaded for bear. He tells us about creating his avatar after the break.
"Well my main method of creating any sort of prim clothing, whether it be armor or robes, is cube prims. I'm a huge fan of cube prims, especially with this avatar. I would create cubes and taper... a lot. I usually tend to lean more towards dark-looking avatars and this one turned out well.
"I guess what inspired me to do this is just the pure fascination with military armors and such. I'd never done anything like it, so I wanted to test my imagination and take it to the next level."
In real life, Roland is 16 and a junior in high school.
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 particle 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!
