Sorry. I should have mentioned that it will cost you a grand total of: your SPAM email address. Otherwise, it's free.

Sure I'd give 'em an email address, but the real catch here is... YOU GOTTA BE YOUNG! I can't get anything even resembling myself. Somebody over there needs to remember something: hairlines sometimes recede.

If you go the screencap route, you don't even have to give up an email address. Doesn't look much like me.

Manga Me. I thought this was going to be one of those things where you could upload your picture and they turn THAT into manga. That would have been cool.

Am I really the first person to complain this doesn't work for Linux?

By: orthogonality

Worked for me running linux and Firefox. Well, it produced an image, anyway. Of someone not at all resembling me.

Weird. When I got to the download step, I got this message. Maybe my face scared it...

Me. Needs longer hair. I think I like my cheesy heatmap Photobooth pic better. Manga-me looks like a creepy over-enthusiastic English professor and/or an unrepentant Mac addict.

I had better luck with the boy options. You know there is no way to get a "thumbs up" gesture with the girl options.

Why do sites always require the most current version of Flash? I'll upload and install a new version, and in a few months it'll obsolete, with seemingly every Flash-powered site telling me I don't have the latest and greatest version.

So...if I'm reading this right, I should be able to download this for 1,50€, which is about $2.50? Is my math correct? Has anyone tried this? I don't want to be first.

oops, wrong avatar generator. This one's much better.

By: Stunt

Stunt — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 21:19:16 -0800

So much about it isn't right, but this is the best I could do. I think my mangatar needs more work; I had to resist actually mucking with it in photoshop.

Here's my attempt, which if you're so inclined you can compare against my profile picture. I really liked the one that made you into a Simpson character based on a provided photo. It did a fantastic job.

aubilenon, great hair!! Here's a little study in the differences in how my boyfriend and I see one another and ourselves. I think we might find one another alluring.

By: Solon and Thanks

Solon and Thanks — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 22:11:44 -0800

That's a cool idea, Ambrosia Voyeur. I laughed when I noticed that the partner portraits are more sexed up.

You find me alluring with a receding Billy Crystal hairline? Noted.

It's reasonably close.

danb — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 23:07:04 -0800

Ambrosia Voyeur, that's a brilliant idea. I wish I had thought of doing that with someone before posting mine! Solon and Thanks, that's remarkably accurate compared to your profile pic. thankyoujohnnyfever, not so much :-)

I was totally dissatisfied with their choice of skin and hair colors so I opened up the screencap in my less-than-photoshop image editor and re-colorized myself (plus a little pixel manipulation in which I raised my hairline) and here is MangaWendell.

They need more aging. And sagging, Brando-as-the-godfather-style cheeks.

By: maxwelton

maxwelton — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 01:03:53 -0800

I also note they don't have a "bathrobe" clothing option, so that part will remain forever inaccurate.

I got the same "LOL WRONG OS" message, so instead, I screencapped it. My spam e-mail is safe! I couldn't get the ears I wanted - you know, smaller than chimp-sized - but it's otherwise a pretty accurate likeness.

Inadequate selection of ears (mine are quite pinned back). Range of skin tones is pathetic. Not enough receding hairlines. But still, fun, and pretty close to authentic. Me.

I cannot get the site to work- I get to the part where you start building your face, and all the categories are listed as "undefined" and it takes the different pieces a really long time to load. Booo.

You find me alluring with a receding Billy Crystal hairline? Well... uh... um. Of course I was referring to the fact that you're for some reason shirtless in the second picture. Yeah, that's it. Jonathan Harford, I thought yours was spot-on.
