Live Portrait Maker: GuysThis is the male counterpart to the original Live Portrait Maker app that specialises in female faces. Both apps work exactly the same and only include different features and accessories, based on the gender. So though this review is on the male version, I have played with both versions and the rating and views of features hold true to both.
The game usage is fairly basic and it is essentially used for creating avatars or characters for role playing purposes. Double tap the character to open the customisation screen, from there click through the options (Hair, Brow, Node, etc). You will see the available options for that category appear like in the screen shot to the right. This screen shot shows the nose choices. You will then get a few basic customising options for the one you choose, such as colour, size and position on the face. The nose options give you a way to increase or decrease the size and one that makes it higher or lower on the face. When you are happy with the selection tap the green tick mark and it takes you back to the avatar with the change you made. Just double tap again to return to the menu to change another feature.
Once you have finished creating your character you can save the image by either screen capturing or clicking the camera icon at the top of the menu that appears when you double tap. You can save as a GIF file or a photo file.
You can also save avatars you have made (Clicking the diskette icon from the menu) within the app itself by assigning a name and notes to them. You can then pull these characters back up later if you want to say, change the outfit or hair. This can come in handy if they are a role playing character you have created.
Also at the top of the menu is a circle made of two arrows. This creates a random avatar. Do not click this mid customising unless you wish to start all over.
If you are having trouble with the app the question mark icon takes you to the help/about and options menu. There are no in game sounds so the options are just whether or not you want motion (The character looks up and down & side to side when you tap a direction) or not, and the language choice for the menus).The app is very basic which is both good and bad. It is easy to use but the variety is limited. I could definitely see more hair and wardrobe options being wanted by users. The customising menu display is a little off putting with it just showing part of an image overlaying the avatar. This is especially awkward in customise menus such as Eyes (Where some of the images are just smudges), Lips (Where some images meant to be lip shine just looks like a weird pixel mess) and Effects. The menus could absolutely use an improvement as for as visuals go. It is often unclear what something is until you tap it.
That being said, the ads in this free app stay at the bottom and are non-intrusive. The art itself is visually beautiful and the app does what it is intended to do, which is always a plus. So though it has its limitations and imperfections, it is still a good app.
Below you can see a video for the female version of this app from the artist Angela He/zephyo's YouTube channel. They also have some really great art videos there to check out.
