I wasn't happy with how my original avatar was looking, mainly because of the face I'd been modeling. As a result I've changed to what you can see below. I've decided to make my face in to a flat screen television, on to which a video of my eyes has been mapped. It looks pretty cool in motion. I've still got the limbs to do obviously, and I'll make them using the same method we used to make tentacles for the squid.




Another thing I had a play round with was particle effects. I want my character to fall to the floor in to deep grass and lay down. On impact I want a dust effect to cloud up from the collision. Doesn't look much like dust, but it'll suffice.
