An avatar is cartoon representation of a computer or internet user. It is an alter ego iconic image of the user which is used commonly in forums and social community portals such as Facebook.
Avatar is normally used when the user prefer not to use his/her own real picture in online social media and wish to have some form of privacy or simply for fun of seeing themselves in cartoon form.
There are quite many avatar creators online but these 2 are the best IMHO :
DoppelMe – Very intuitive and fun avatar creator. This is my personal favorite as it can create great looking avatar at the shortest possible time.
Portrait Illustration Maker – Another great avatar creator which gives you more options for a close representation of yourself.
Now, if you’re not using your own real picture in forums and social media, go ahead and create a nice looking avatar for yourself.
