Avatar Makers


Let us first define what an avatar really is. The word itself has several meanings. One says that the avatar is manifestation of a deity, other says that it is an incarnation, embodiment or manifestation of a person or idea.... both definitions are religious and come from Hindu religion. But, the definition which is the one of interest for us says that the Avatar is a movable icon representing a person in cyberspace or virtual reality graphics. There are many other definitions and variations of this last meaning but it all comes down to the same thing. An avatar is a 2d or 3d picture which represents you on the internet and is really your alter ego.



There are a few different ways of making your own avatar. First you can simply use your own picture and reduce it to a reasonable size of about 200px and use it as an avatar. That would be the simplest and most common way of making one for yourself. But there are many other possibilities how you can make it even more interesting depending on your wishes. Some people like to place the real picture of themselves and that is OK but there are those who like to play and enjoy making the funny or even strange avatars of themselves.



There are programs out there which allow you to make a cartoonish face. They let you choose everything. Not only your skin color but the shade of it. You get to choose the facial expression, color of your eyes, shape of your eyebrows and lips. There are so many hairstyles you can try on and even add some accessories to your avatar like earrings, headphones, glasses. So, using one of these you can make pretty authentic picture of yourself.




Then we have even more interesting possibilities on the web. You can make the comic avatar version of yourself. A doppelganger, but not only face but the whole figure. Of course you choose your haircut, eye color and facial expression but you also get to choose your outfit and shoes and accessories in this variation of avatar maker. You can make you avatar very cool or very dorky, it all up to you. So, this variation of an avatar maker gives even more variations to play with than the previous ones.




You can also make yourself and anime avatar. As exciting and challenging as all of them. You choose and choose and there is so much to choose from, believe me. All these creators are actually here for your entertainment and that is why there are so many different options. If you want to make an avatar that looks just like you the tools are here. Even if you want to present yourself in a different light there are numerous possibilities. Now that you know what are your options I strongly suggest you consult your search engine and find the best avatar maker for you and have fun fun fun!
