Extra Credit : Creating an avatar using DoppelMe

Today, I created an avatar by using the site DoppelMe and here it is below:



While the process was very straightforward, the amount of customization was a little limited in comparison to other sites. Basically, you only have a few different styles of expressions, wardrobe, accessories, and hair styles to choose from to try to make it like your self.

Anyways, to get started just click on the link I listed above and just hit create. It will then ask you what eye color and skin color you want so just make the selection and continue on. Afterwards, it will lead you through facial expressions, shoes, shirts, bottoms, and so on so just make the selections you like and continue on. If you want additional options, go ahead and click on create account which opens up a few more customizations. However, you still are very limited on what you can choose even if you create an account. Afterwards, it will provide several links to the avatar you created where you can then embed them into your blog or email signature. Just copy the link and post it to your blog to use it.

If you want a simple and very easy to create avatar, DoppelMe is your answer; however, for heavy customizations, I would look elsewhere.
