Who Are We? The Devil



So like ive mentioned before the Devil character was all about online trolling and how a person might use that really horrible part of themselves as an escape online. I also mentioned how i was looking at creating this weird pale faced androgynous default avatar-esque makeup for the character. I tried out a couple of things and i found most inspiration from Yolandi Visser of Die Antwoord in the ugly boy video so i tried to recreate that for my photos. I had to create a little avatar for twitter so i used this black alien eyes tutorial from Phlearn and whitening skin tutorial from Retutpro.

Once i had this avatar it was time to get tweeting, im actually not that rude or awful a person but i did try and got a few nasty tweets out on the profile which i then used collage style as the background for my NewHive page.


I originally had an idea to create a video where i would be dressed as the devil reading out tweets using one of those text to speech robot voice things but the time i would have needed to do all the video editing would have been too much so instead i created a gif of the devil in a bunch of different poses that it would cycle through to go in its place and i left out the sound because it would have been the only page which had any.

The gif was pretty easy to create i just used the various photos i had taken, all edited with the white skin and bug eyes and used the pop up window from the front page.
