Create Your Own Clay Character

We all have different fun things we look for on the Internet. I happen to have this weakness for create your own "substitute you" avatar programs, although I'm careful which ones I go on. I have about 4 avatars. My favorite and pretty much the only one I use is the one you see on my comments and in the sidebar of this site. I think it's the cup of coffee that does it for me (that and the fact that I can perpetually look exactly the same). Kind of Stepford Wives creepy, but I just like the fact that no matter what the mirror says, no matter how my hair misbehaves, my avatar always looks good.

So, now and then, when someone recommends a new one, I have to play around with it just for fun. Sometimes (maybe most of the time) I don't even keep the image once it's done. It's a bit like playing paper dolls (for those of you old enough to remember those) or Barbie dolls or dress up, although not nearly as fashionable as Barbie. Rather fun.

The other day I was on one of my favorite blogs and came across a "Create Your Own Clay Character" site. Here are my results.

Okay, it's a little weird (especially the ear sticking out). But it reminds me a bit of Wallace and Gromit, so I got a bit of a kick of it. If you'd like to play around with creating your own clay character, here's the site. Let it load to 100% (it takes a few seconds) and then create a clay you! You don't have to download and save it like I did, but you can if you like (hope you do better on the ears than I did). Have fun!
