Tired Profile Picture? Cartoon Portrait Avatars are Hot!

This is my avatar history and review of cartoon portrait generator websites, and online avatar makers. The following shows my reviews and results. I've also included a listing of avatar makers, and profile or photo generators, that I have yet to test.

I'll start with my history first...

<--- Me? Not exactly, but it does show some similar characteristics. This is a temporary icon I'm using for the Holidays.  The previous, and my usual Roadstar166 Avatar is used on iOffer and is one of my names in the online world. My last avatar, the Flame (see Plexo voting below), was in reference to my name here, other places, and more importantly my crafting obsession. I make soy candles. Yeah I know..."Well, that's obvious". But that is my "brand" so I've stuck with it here on Squidoo up until my last voting results . I am updating my avatar here often, so I need your help to help stay out of my usual keep it for years avatar-rut since my name should take care of the "branding", but I'll touch more on that later.

I've had quite a few profile icons, also known as modern Avatars, over the years. I have chosen from cartoons, funny characters, made banners, and I even spotlighted specific merchandise items I have on sale. There is no limit to the creative possibilities, and the choices are hugely available.

The newest craze seems to be the Cartoon-Style Portrait Avatar. I tried a few of them. Lots of options and styles. But picking pre-made parts to make a whole never quite works out the way you think it will. My results below confirmed that, oh, I would say, without question. You'll see what I mean soon. But it's fun, so give it a shot and see what you can come up with. It may not look exactly like you, but hey, that's half the fun and adds to the mystery of an anonymous avatar. (Who the heck is that person behind the pink furry monster?).

Now about the earlier mention of my request for your help to get me out of the avatar-rut. . I have created a couple of new avatars using the sites shown below. I beg you for your help at the bottom of this lens. Please Vote today!

About that Avatar-Rut. I do believe it is a real place. I swear I do. I have seen helpless people trapped there for YEARS. Are you? Maybe someone you know or have seen under that dusty and faded Avatar? Now is the time to freshen up that tired old avatar, so read on for the CURE. Don't forget to tell your friends that here is THE remedy .They may be relieved that someone noticed their malaise and took pity on them. :D

Enjoy!
