Extra Credit Avatar

Today I was finally able to get to the Avatar extra credit assignment! Never having done this before, I was a little intimidated by the thought have having to create a likeness of myself. I chose to use the Doppelme online tool. It was my first choice as a tool and I ended up staying with the avatar I created once I finished.

  So......without further ado, I present my Avatar!

Now, I must say, I think it actually looks like me. Well, close enough anyway. If you were to see me out and about, I would most likely be dressed exactly as I'm portrayed above. I may have a little gray in my beard as compared to the Avatar, but overall, I'm pretty satisfied.

Using the Doppelme tool was very easy. It immediately got me started as soon as I accessed the site. I was able to put the avatar together from a selection of facial features, eye color, and clothes. The only bit of information that I needed to provide was my email address. This was only so I could be able to customize him with extra features and also to add him to any websites or my blog.

So, for anyone still needing to create an avatar, I would immediately recommend Doppelme as the tool to use. Not only was it easy and free, but no private information will need to be transferred. And these days, that alone is a rare quality!
