Anytars Style Lab

Five candidate looks for an open avatar library. Every face on this page is drawn live from the same trait JSON, so the person stays fixed while style, expression and transforms change. Click any avatar to see its traits and its reversible code.

0 · Eye variants · Harpreet

Which eyes fit?

Six eye treatments, numbered the same in every style. Each person can pick one with the eye style trait (in the tuning panel), or leave it on the style default.

1 · Same person, five styles

Which look carries the person best?

Pick a person in the bar. Each card shows the neutral face plus happy, laughing, crying, surprised and zombie.

2 · Fine tuning, Mii style

Move, size and tilt each feature

Every feature has a few integer sliders on top of its shape choice. Small integer steps keep the avatar code short (one byte per slider) and make two people with the same parts still look different. Changes here apply to the selected person across the whole page.

3 · Expression sheet

Eight people, ten versions each

Expressions only swap lids, brows, mouth and cheeks. Transforms (zombie, festive) recolor and add props, but keep face shape, hair, headwear and glasses so the person stays recognizable.

4 · Small sizes

Do the emotions survive at 20 px?

Avatars mostly live in comment threads and chat lists. These are rendered at their real pixel size.

5 · Parts wardrobe

Swap one part, keep the person

The selected person with a single trait changed per tile.

What to decide next

Tell me what to keep

  • Which style, or which mix. Sticker proportions with cel shading is possible, since style is just a rendering layer over the same traits.
  • Whether the tuning ranges feel right: too subtle, too wild, or missing a slider (ear size, head width, mouth tilt).
  • Which expressions belong in the default set, and which transforms beyond zombie and festive you want first.
  • Anything that reads wrong or stereotyped for a person or headwear. Those parts get redrawn before the schema is locked.
