A Role Playing Games Blog
Face Your Manga
Ok, this post is not really RPG related but it might be interesting to all you bloggers, forum users and in fact everyone who needs a digital representation of him- or herself aka an avatar.
Although I am quite happy with my current avatar, I am always looking for free avatar creators all over the net. Some time ago I stumbled upon a couple of avatars that I liked but I couldn’t find out which service was used to create them. Then I finally found the site I have been looking for: FaceYourManga.com!
So, what is your favorite avatar creation service? Or do you prefer “handcrafted” avatars? Please share your thoughts.

I normally make my own from pictures, or company logos if they apply. I had been wondering where the heck people got these style of avatars, so thanks.

I prefer to copy bits out of images I liked rather than use avatar-making services.

I use my face…. hahahahaha! Pretty cool site, I think a few other bloggers online use this service. All the guys from At-will has these kind of avatars, I think I've seen them a couple other places as well, can't remember which blogs though.

I prefer to craft my own avatars, when I bother to assign one to myself (you might have seen my primary, and on the Giant boards I use a stylized replica of my primary PC), but when it comes to tossing together a customized human image, I'm likeliest to play with the Gaia-style avatar-maker at tektek.org. It's not near as good (or at all, really) for pose customizability as FaceYourManga, but there's a pretty decent range of garb and gear, and I've had fun playing with the background options. I often use it if I need to shorthand someone a character's image and don't have the time or the patience for a full picture.
