week 2

The second iteration of my self-portrait plays with the idea of the many human emotions and character traits, including ones that people often try to hide like anger and vindictiveness.  As time passes, I change the coordinates of the key portraits elements (wings, eyebrows, and the flame) and the face color to transform my original self-depiction into an evil looking creature. The mouse cursor also controls the hair shape, letting the viewer add to the character’s  maleficent aura. I also used a cyclic sine function to create the oscillating eyebrows, which add a feeling of uneasiness to the transformation. The p5.js code can be found here [link].
