Second Life - how close am I getting with my current avatar?




I'm no artist, and the default system for designing avatars has a lot of limitations, but let's have a look. How's this, I wonder, as a caricature cum idealisation? Hmmm, not too bad I think ...

Very cool! I myself have a somewhat idealized version of myself as an avatar. But right now the "big guy" sliders and such don't really capture my bear-like shape.

I'd be happy if they'd just let me have some eyebrows - not that I want prominent ones or anything.

Hi Kris! At the moment, the hair is fairly lifelike. ;)

LOL, I really need a haircut - or maybe it's better this way. *SHRUG*

Let's face it, I'm just in denial of the fact that, in real life, my (once) thick mop of hair has thinned a li'l over the years. Dammit. OTOH, I don't mind it going grey.

All right, I've adjusted the hairstyle just slightly, but I really need the options to get better, as Jose says. Or I need someone more artistic to work on the problem.
