Work has been started.

These users each claimed they can complete the work by 4 months, 1 week ago. Please review their action plans below:

1) dgilliams has started work.

The concept for this website is awesome. I'm excited to finally have time to contribute.

My plan of action: so far...

• go through the avatar editing process
• read the request list
• understand what is currently available and have a few suggestions to start with

thoughts on where to start... (not committing to making all of these haha but if time provides I'd like to even more if possible)

• more chin and neck options, slender, double, cheekbones
  • fictional heads like a skull or animal
• eyes that have color/ depth/ direction
• mouth shapes: add other expressive shapes
• hair: design my own hair and common popular hair shapes
• accessories: more glasses and maybe some exciting hats. Like a viking hat or cat ears.

my resume: www.damosdesigns.com

Learn more on the Gitcoin Issue Details page.

2) gianni-dalerta has started work.

I created a new type of accessory a mask, specifically a Jack-o-Lantern. I exported the file from illustrator as an SVG found an optimizer online. I am not that experienced with git or modern web coding. Hopefully I do this right. :)

(just wanted to experience contributing to a project on gitcoin)

Learn more on the Gitcoin Issue Details page.

3) ajayns has started work.

I've got a couple of ideas. I'll first discuss the idea and see if its a viable option and then commence work on it, first the design review then the code PR.

Learn more on the Gitcoin Issue Details page.

[gianni-dalerta]

@owocki Not sure why the work submission went twice, I only did one transaction and did not refresh the page when it was pending. :(

Dang I also just realized that to add a new accessory, I would have added it to the get_svg_templates(): objects area. ;(

[owocki]

@writeprovidence looks like the upload didnt work.

@gianni-dalerta thanks for letting us know.. we're upgrading web3py and should have a fix in for the double-submissions shortly after that

[owocki]

@writeprovidence neato -- can you submit a PR and link it here pls?

[writeprovidence]

@owocki ok i will do that, just wanted you to take a view at it here before send a PR.

[owocki]

@writeprovidence it looks good.. i just want to make sure we get it merged soon since its only a few weeks to haloween

[thelostone-mc]

@owocki The following submissions would be good for payout upon submission. (I'll update them as more come in. Feel free to check the boxes upon payout :P )

@gianni-dalerta

• [x] The Haloween mask

@Dgilliams

• [x] The futuristic pony tail

btw guys feel free to contribute more. It's really fun building the avatars out :)

[owocki]

@gianni-dalerta @Dgilliams yay thanks!

[owocki]

word i just paid out

[ajayns]

Hey there! Been busy, but I found this work to be super fun so back and hopefully would be contributing some assets soon :)

Any ideas on things you guys would like in the builder? Currently, I've got ideas for a Mohawk hairstyle (for the rebels) and also a helmet accessory (for motorcycle enthusiasts). Or even a wizard beard (Dumbledore inspired maybe?) Any opinions here?

[owocki]

@ajayns i love both ideas! there are a few more over at https://github.com/gitcoinco/web/issues/1550 too

[ajayns]

A couple of ideas explored on the Mohawk! Let me know what you like :)

(may have chosen the wrong face to depict a cyberpunk but well, focus on the mohawk please ;) )

[ajayns]

A tux/suit idea I've been playing around for a bit. @owocki @thelostone-mc It wasn't mentioned before, but I was thinking we don't have anything pretty formal in the builder right now and this could be a good addition.

[ajayns]

Another idea that came to me as I worked on the suit, how about a bit of hacker vibes here!

[ajayns]

Okay that took the last of my free time, here's the cowboy hat you were asking for: (maybe I could work on the color better though)

[owocki]

@ajayns i like the 2nd mohawk... and the guy faukes maask and the suit and the hat!.

want to PR them up!!?

here are some exxamples PRs https://github.com/gitcoinco/web/pull/2400 https://github.com/gitcoinco/web/pull/2401

[ajayns]

Haha you like them all? I'm glad! :) I'll try to get this done as soon as possible and let you know. Also, thanks for the reference PRs @owocki

[ajayns]

Also, mind if I wrap all of them up into one PR? It'd ease the review work for you guys as well.

[owocki]

@ajayns sounds good!

@writeprovidence those look cool! i wonder which of those elements will fit stylistically into the avatar builder. @PixelantDesign what do you think? do we need to 'gitcoin avatar style-ize' them a bit?

[Dgilliams]

Working on more hair options today. Thoughts on a category/layer for neck shapes? If they overlay the clothing, they can change the neck line.

Check out this guy's hat!

Oh no it blew away! How do we feel about making some bald guy assets too? Lol this was made by accident, but now I'm thinking some balding options wouldn't be the worst idea.

[owocki]

i really like all of these hair styles. especially the first mohawk

not completely sure the neck thing is worth it at this point...

@Dgilliams can you attach some svgs and/or PR them up so we can see what this all looks like in the avatar builder?

[Dgilliams]

thanks! and yep not a problem. is there a folder to upload test svgs? I want to make sure they work before having to export all the different color assets.

Has anyone made a script or know a shortcut for exporting the multiple color assets in one shot?

[owocki]

thanks! and yep not a problem. is there a folder to upload test svgs? I want to make sure they work before having to export all the different color assets.

Checkout https://github.com/gitcoinco/web/pull/2400 for an example of how to add an asset to the local repository. You can copy the directory in that PR :)

Has anyone made a script or know a shortcut for exporting the multiple color assets in one shot?

I have not, but it should be easy to do ... Just open up the asset in a text editor and change the hex color of the shirt! this is what those entries look like

path fill="#25E899"

[PixelantDesign]

@writeprovidence I agree could we try to match your ideas closer to the 'gitcoin avatar style-ize' them a bit? My suggestion would be to use the foundations that we've already created and modify them to fit your needs.

cc: @willsputra what do you think of these?

[writeprovidence]

[writeprovidence]

Hello@owocki how about these once?

[owocki]

i like them in the abstract.. well need to see how they look on the avatar builder.. maybe it'd be worth taking some of those items and adding them as a layer on top of an existing avatar?

i'm attaching the avatar style guide here: http://bits.owocki.com/9a25c298e3d9/gitcoin-avatarconstructionguide_082218.pdf

[Dgilliams]

I may have gotten distracted... haha. I'll push those other assets soon! I'm also making an adobe illustrator file that has some tools from the guidelines in it.

[owocki]

he looks just like you :) "be the avatar you want to see the in world"

[Dgilliams]

I made a powershell script for exporting all the color assets! :) There was no way I was going to type all those color hexadecimals more than one more time haha.

Watch it in action!

https://github.com/Dgilliams/SVG_MultiColor_Exporter

[ajayns]

@Dgilliams This is amazing haha! Good work on the shell script

[Dgilliams]

@ajayns thanks man, happy to help

[owocki]

@Dgilliams that is so LEET!

1. DM me your address on the gitcoin slack so i can send u schwag.
2. any chance we can get a mac / /bin/bash version of that script?

https://github.com/Dgilliams/SVG_MultiColor_Exporter/issues/1

[ajayns]

Yes a bash version would be amazing for Mac and Linux users!

[Dgilliams]

@ajayns @owocki I added a python version for Mac and Linux. lmk how it works for you.
