Avatars

[Hairspray]

Hi everyone,

I'm doing abit of research for a project I'm working on at the moment to do with avatars. I just wanted to know, since I don't use one myself or any website that requires them, how anyone styles their avatars, uses them, and whether they do things like create their ideal self with them? Things like that...basically, the basis for the creation of the avatar that you use (if you use one anywhere )

I thought I would ask here, with is being the fountain of all knowledge, and home to a healthy bunch of postential avatar users

Thanks in advance!!

ETA: I'm talking about the ones on things like SecondLife btw!

Never actually used one but from what i've seen it must either have tits, arse, swearing or a cat with a gun in it.

There is also the one with a dog shagging another dog while being sick on it.

The forum's that I use that allow an avatar usually get just a pic from me.
The last few have just been things that amuse me slightly, like this:



Or this:




Absolutely nothing to do with looking like me, cats, guns or tits I'm afraid.

You're all talking about the wrong kind of avatar. He's on about representations of yourself in things like Second Life, online games etc, not just piccies on forums.

Why would you want to do that?

I think people would rather look at bouncing breasts than a virtual version of me.

Fair enough.

There is a film out later in the year about this called Avatar. James Cameron movie I believe.

Ah right.

2nd Life.

Thats the one where the game world is inhabited(sp) by truckers who pretend they are girls to have imaginary sexual encounters with other truckers who are pretending to be muscle bound hunks right?

Same applies, Tits, arse, or a cat with a gun.

I've also heard that people pay real money for things in a virtual world.

Now that is just plain nuts!
