I made a new avatar generator for Peertube mascot squid-like characters.. 😛t:

You can play with it here:

It's a personal contribution to the Peertube-plugin-livechat (WIP, link to the plugin on the generator page).

#krita #MastoArt #ArtWithOpenSource
#peertube #avatar #generator
28 randomly generated colorful and cute squid avatars. Some plays guitare, other have headset, bonsai tree, laptop, with many accessories and gears that make them all unique. In the center, Sepia, the official mascot of Peertube blends into their new group of friends.

@goofy Non mais mais non mais non mais j'avais pas vuuuuu ! J'avais mis un "p" majuscule (quelle idée aussi, moi qui ait une visio ballistique de l'usages des majuscules 😛!), mais cette image là elle est juste parfaite !

nice! and it even keeps the same squid for the same name.

The only minor problem is that hats and such sometimes don't work with the head shape, but I don't see how that could be solved without excessive work (making assets for each type of head) or just removing headwear entirely. :blobCat_shrug:​ a bit of jank is ok I think.

actually, maybe programmatically stretching headwear based on how wide the head is might look better. You'd still have to do a lot of work for that though; defining which headwear has to be stretched where, and stuff.

Thanks! I usually just work with a wireframe top layer on my stack to manage point of contact and limit to not cross.

If you find a problematic DNA number or string, thank you if you can report, I'll continue to adjust it (it's WIP).

skipping over the fact that "colonel maize" is absolutely cute~

"bonk" - the hat seems glued on. Maybe cut off the top of the head so it looks more "inside" of the hat?

that's it actually. Maybe my browser history is being weird, I could've sworn there was a second one.

They are so cute! I should get back to trying to stream so people can use these in the chat. :blobcatheart:

(And why are both generated ones so perfect?!)
Peertube squid avatar generated with the name "Lyri". It is purple, has a triangular spiral on its head, a circular spiral on its forehead, winged eyeliner and a red scarf, smirking.
Peertube squid avatar generated with the name "Lyrilith". It is read, has the Peertube triagles on its head, winged eyeliner, smiling open mouthed, a spiked collar and is riding a skateboard.

@AntoineD Oh mais quelle bonne idée de l'utiliser pour des logos d'instances. Jolie mix pour cette mascotte. 👍

It looks amazing!! I tried my name and got the cutest squid 😁
Peertube avatar generator. The name of the squid is 'Anna' and it is a lime green colour, wears a monocle and has a tiny bonsai tree.

@alecat Oh lucky you! 😍 I tried my own name and nicknames with all caps, etc... to see if I could get that, but no luck here. 😅

I don’t think anyone would begrudge you if you put together some of your preferred squid customisations 😀

Oki oki, then I choose this one ☺️
A screenshot of Krita with my workflow for doing Avatar generators: a long layer stack with precise named elements. Each layer name have export option for a 'batch exporter' script that output the trimming and the PNG output. My favorite combination in the middle: a metal squid with a spikey collar, steam punk glasses, black color, smiling, and with a color palette.

These are so adorable!! *dies of cute*

Side note: Could alt-text for these be automatically generated? It might help for people who want to use alt-text in their bio avatar description.
Purple squid with a gold earring and brass goggles, who is reading a map or scroll. An orange squid. It is blushing, with a 3 shaped mouth and happy closed eyes. It looks please, like someone just gave it a really nice complement.
Pink squid that is a bit tall and has a gentleman's hat on. It has a slight shy smile. A bonsi sits next to it. A pink squid with the PeerTube logo on its pointed head. It has a pink beard and a spiked collar on. Its smile looks friendly.

@sphakos Thanks!

For generating an Alt-text, it would be doable, but complex and a long (and boring) task. It would need for sure to add text files to each of the 125 PNG sprites to describe them and then load them to make a sentence. It would take me days. And it is not something I'm ready to do in my free time.

The ZIP file on the footer of the avatar generator contains all the PHP I use to generate the squid, I'm open to external contributions in case someone really wants this feature. 👍
