Do you think most of the avatars look like the person using them? Why/Why not?

Question

Mine looks like me!

mine looks like me!

Answer 1

Because when we are making our avatars we choose the face shapes and hair that mostly looks like us. I wish I could have aged mine to look like I was in my 30's instead of a 13 year old...haha
Yes I think most of them look somewhat like the person does in real life.

Answer 2

Yes and no. Does their avatar look exactly like the user? Of course not, unless they're using a real picture of themselves. But the cartoon avatars do resemble us, but not to a degree that each one is unique. For example - my hair's not really black, it's a very, very dark brown, but it's a better representation than the brown color because it matches better. (The only drawback is that my avatar is sometimes mistaken as an Asian woman, which I'm not, although there's nothing wrong with being Asian.) I do however have green eyes, and pale skin. So in some ways my avatar does look like me, in others it does not.

Answer 3

I look similar to mine with the exception that my skin tone is a little lighter and I'm prettier ;) But, I don't think the avators look like some of the people using them because you are only working with so many facial expressions, hair styles, etc. to try and come up with something that looks close to how you actually look.

Answer 4

I wonder that too. I tried to make mine look like me as much as possible. But I don't think I look as good in hats as my avatar does.

Answer 5

I don't know - really. Because I haven't seen any pictures of these people to compare them with their avatars. But there aren't enough choices, so you go with the closest thing. My avatar doesn't look like me - I'm much better looking lol

Answer 6

Mine looks like me, (today) other times it looks like Billie Joe Armstrong

Answer 7

not really i mean it could be someone like in their 40's or a12 yr old and the avatar looks like an 18 yr old. only in a perfect world

Answer 8

I look like mine. But thats not the case for everyone. There are other human features that these avartars cannot achieve.

Answer 9

Mine looks like me, too!

(I tried to make it that way.)

Answer 10

haha. no. when someone says "i look just like my avatar" you can tell their lying. For one, since when have people started looking like cartoons and second, the avatars are like..perfect with no flaws and everyone has flaws.
