If you can make your avatar look almost identical to the way you actually look?

Question

does that mean your "look" is too typical?

Answer 1

No, it means that many people think or wish they look as good as you do. : )

Answer 2

I think it's better to make the avatar look like yourself, it is not too typical. People have an idea of what you may somewhat look like.

Answer 3

I don't think so- the options on Yahoo Avatar are pretty varied, albeit monochrome in the age dept.

I am glad they added clothing options that are more modest, clothing options that are more "realistic" proportions, etc. The faces available aren't as varied as the human race, so it's probably very rare for someone to look just like their avatar.

I've designed my avatar to look as much like me as possible, given the options.... Yes, I know my avatar doesn't look exactly like me- she's cuter! I have a very long face- I got my long jaw-line from my dad.

Answer 4

Yep, fantastically a lot. My hair is auburn, yet curlier, my eyes are blue, yet i do not positioned on vivid red lipstick and my bangs are not "swooped". what's exciting, although, is your avatar should be your adjust ego; it would not ought to seem as in case you OR it should be an idealized you OR there's a good resemblance. You, speechlessprincess, are the author/chooser of your own on line self-image!

Answer 5

I would say about average. My avatar is very close to what
i actually look like.

Answer 6

;) 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.

Taking it in that context, NO, I don't think there IS a way to reflect one's look as TOO typical, if one does in fact capture the WHOLE of one's *look*--looking outside AND INSIDE, the honest facts of their lives.


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

Answer 7

I think so. When you're making your avatar with you, make sure it reflects to your personality to be cool.

Answer 8

I don't think so.
Some people like the typical.
But I think it's more they features certain things. I mean, I don't see a unibrow there.

Answer 9

well, it depends how you look like
