I would really like to have a cool avatar that subtly hints at my
super-hero alter ego but still is recognizable as me. I can't seem to find the right utility, though (not that I've knocked myself out trying). I tried
Gaia, which was just not the right set of looks for me -- too "teen hipster."
Meez was another attempt, which I wanted to try for the animation. However, it's been loading for 30 minutes with no result, so I'm giving it up as a bad job.
Tektek, which is very basic, worked well enough for me. The search wasn't working, which made it a bit tedious to find items, but otherwise it was easy. Here are my "3 seasons" results:
Loosely named "Brrrr", "Just right", and "Warmish."
I'm thinking I need to break out the art supplies and do my own. Of course, that would require a time investment of more than 5 minutes...
Update: I finally did get Meez to work. Couldn't really find the right options to make it look like me. But it does blink. That's something.
My last attempt, although there is no animation, was at
BeFunky. I like the way these turned out, although I did some editing in my own image program.
