My Springfield Persona

cvj simpsons avatarThis was the best I could do for a Simpsons avatar for me. (Click for larger.)

(I usually wear plain things with nothing written on them, but I suppose this particular design will do, for fun! Also, I could not really find the right hair.)

So what’s yours like? (Email me them and I’ll post them in the comments if you like. Or give a link to one on your page.)

P.S. The movie? Oh, it’s a pretty good extended Simpsons episode. I don’t know if it qualifies as a movie to see in the cinema, but then there’s an awful lot of really bad stuff out there that supposedly qualifies and can’t hold a candle to even a half hour Simpsons episode. Fun with a group out for a lark, I’d say.

    Jude: me neither, but I think the idea is to be a Simpsons _caricature_.

    Many months ago I created a relatively good avatar in Second Life, until I needed the disk space on my laptop and took my SL stuff off (and didn’t make a screenshot). Clifford might want to open up his avatar invitation to include avatars of all types or, in the future, make a separate post talking about people’s virtual images (I saw some wild avatars in SL.. what fun!) and ask for input.

  4. Jude says:

    That should be *look* like a Simpson’s character.

  5. Jude says:

    I just don’t like a Simpson’s character. I created something that looked sort of like my balding brother, but I’m not bald, so that was just weird. I got lost trying to create an Avatar that looked like me. My son made one on his Wii that isn’t too bad. Maybe it gives more options.

    Michele Vallisneri sent me his avatar (see below). Michele Vallisneri AvatarHe also mentioned that he made it at a different site (feel free to send in yours):

    “…there’s also a simpsonizeme.com website (a Burger King thing) that will take a photograph of yours and turn you into a Simpson. It kind of works after a couple of tries. ”

    I shall have to have a go at some point..

    Subtle?!

    (It was fun though, sure.)

    Saw the movie and thought it was pretty good. The subtle political commentary always makes it a socially acceptable activity imho.

    You kind of look like a black Waylon Smithers.

    Amara Graps sent me hers. Here it is:

    She said:

    “I tried mailing my avatar to myself, […] and got only a blank image. However, I took a screen snapshot as well, so this is that. “

    I got mine via screenshot as well.
