Avatars and appearance?

I tried to make it look as similar to myself as I could. They don't give you enough options to make a good representation, it kinda sucks.

I tried my best to create an avatar as per my looks. Though I'm close but still I don't have the exact face as in avatar.

I asked a very similair question a couple weeks ago. I look very close to my avatar.

The male avatars all look like they are still waiting for their voices to change.........why do they all look 12??

;) Myself, I believe what makes the BEST avatar is when the individual achieves a fairly-good in-depth self-portrait: I honestly worked HARD to CHOOSE the best options where mine WOULD be! :D

[I am honestly even MORE blue in my DL pic.]

Mine turned out to be an internal self-portrait combined with an external one--it looks like the sum of my self: philosophical, medical, all components considered, an image of the inadequately-breathing dead, a way of being honest with myself in regard to my overall health picture, a coping mechanism in its way [just like my nick, I think they make a good match]. ;)

I think that is the BEST way to reflect one's overall look, if one does in fact capture the WHOLE of one's *look*--looking outside AND INSIDE, the honest facts of their lives.

In that sense, I believe my avatar is a declaration that I am at peace with myself, my life, my fate, which is a gift I would wish for anyone on the path to happiness. :)

I think overall the avatar system is fun, light-hearted, and I actually appreciate the somewhat entertaining way to express my more macabre reality. ;)

I mean, where else can you find such a *cute* way to visually express that I have lost my ever-lovin' mind than that pic showing me there holding my head after it's gone and rolled off? ;)

I also appreciate that it gives ALL users the chance to sort through what they value, how they perceive themselves, how they wish to appear vs how they DO actually appear...what they hope to see in the mirror vs reality...whether they like ALL their components...whether they like THEMSELVES...key factors brought to light by your excellent question--THANKS! :D

Well since I don't have a toothpick body, I will never look like mine.

i tried to make mine look like me as much as i could. but of course, its difficult since this cartoon only has so many options

i tried to pick one that looked like me... the GREEN EYES are correct, for sure

A little but not really.
