Profile Picture Project

A profile picture, or a PFP, as it's often shortened to, is someone's icon to represent someone on a social media platform. An unfortunately common form of PFP in the past couple years are a form of cryptocurrency called non-fungible tokens. They are normally some form of art that is for some people worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency and hundreds of pounds of CO2 in the atmosphere. These ecological dystopian nightmare tokens normally have a similar base, with different things that cane be varied and switched in and out, much like a virtual dress up game. Despite the horrible culture around these "artworks" they pose as a good example to make a PFP maker of sorts, much like a picrew. We were told to create something like an NFT, so I decided to make a character creator of sorts and create some icons of my friends' Dungeons and Dragons characters using Adobe Illustrator.

I first started a base. And added certain elements that would change or could be modified for each, like the hair, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and earrings. The clothes are all variations of three simple items, an ascot, a shirt, and a vest. These are the final results.
