Create your own cool online "look"

Have you ever seen those cute (well, usually cute) comic type photos of friends or colleagues on the net? Here are a few great, and free ways to make your own.

Meez You can join this free community or just use the avatar creator. The service lets you create and download an animated, 3-D avatar complete with changing expressions. When you've finished your masterpiece, click Save and then Go to Exports to download it or to obtain code that you can insert in various websites. Meez DOES charge for some selections.

Gaia Gaia Online is a popular virtual community. You don't have to participate in the community to use the avatar generator.

Yahoo Although the interface isn't terribly user friendly, Yahoo! Avatar Creator offers lots of options including detailed backgrounds and costumes.

South Park Check out this fun generator and make yourself into a South Park character. You can not save your creation on this site, you will have to take a screen shot of it, paste it into Photoshop or another image editor, and then crop and save the avatar from there. Kinda complicated, but still fun!
