Let's work together about avatars-api-middleware

@FlorianKoerner that sounds wonderful! We don't yet have a mechanism to host arbitrary artist's sets, but that's on the roadmap for sure.

Just to clarify what you're suggesting: you'd like to create pixelized versions of our avatars (as a sprite collection), for use in the DiceBear Avatars service?

If so, we unfortunately don't have assets beyond what you see in src/img, and those aren't vectorized.

[FlorianKoerner]

However, I would like to thank you for your interest.

[FlorianKoerner]

With your permission, I'd like to vectorize your graphics. Without creating a pixel rated version.

Then both projects could use the graphics. 🎉

[rylnd]

@FlorianKoerner can you explain how these graphics could be used in both projects? We currently depend upon separate "pieces" of faces and then build those up programmatically with imagemagick; does dicebear do something similar?

[FlorianKoerner]

Works the same way. But with separate vector pieces and not with pixel pieces.

[rylnd]

@FlorianKoerner that sounds great! I'm just waiting to get consent from @itsthatguy (the original artist).

[itsthatguy]

@FlorianKoerner would you want to get on a call to talk about this? I'd like to know more about your plans, and what best we can do.

[FlorianKoerner]

You're making it more complicated than it really is. To use your avatars with DiceBear avatars, I wanted to redraw them in SVG. That's what I asked your permission for. 😉

So, currently, I'm not interested anymore.
