Avatar Creation

Today, I got the opportunity to create an avatar. The first thing that came to mind when thinking about avatars is a bizarre little youtube music video by Felicia Day. I'll make sure to link to that at the bottom. Now, when looking through possible sites to create a digital me, I remembered that I had not yet created an avatar for my Xbox live profile! So, I went on over to the Xbox website and got to work.

There were a great deal of options in creating this little guy. There were actually more options here than with any of the other avatar creation tools I looked into online. I could pick my hair style, eye shape, ear shape, mouth shape, chin shape, etc. I could pick from a wide variety of different clothes styles and colors. There were watches, armbands, hats, and face painting possibilities. I ended up going with a pair of jeans, a white shirt with an orange and blue tie, and an orange armband just to represent the gator nation. I tried to make my hair style and color along with eye color as close to reality. When I was all finished up, this is what my avatar looked like: 

He has green eyes, brownish hair (which happened to be parted while I was creating him), and an overall casual gator football fan look about him. Creating him was very easy. The tools on the website were clearly labeled and everything was very organized. I never had an trouble trying to figure something out and there was more than adequate customization capabilities. Most importantly, I now have somebody to represent me on my xbox live profile!

Now, here is a little extra avatar fun. This video is awkward, hilarious with the right mindset, and actually catchy all at the same time. It is a project by the cast of "The Guild", which is an web series by Felicia Day. Enjoy!
