I was in need of a new Facebook profile pic but I dislike photos of myself. So I decided to make an caricature avatar instead that I can use for another few years before feeling forced to change it again. The Facebook colour pallet does work well in general so making the colour scheme standardized seemed like a good idea to make it blend in.
The result worked for me and pretty soon my friends asked for avatars for them as well. All it required was a Identification document style photo for me to trace and start the defining characteristics of the head, hairline and jawline. The rest is easy enough.
I did a few and realised this can actually be a fun source of income, a constant concern for a freelancer (or otherwise unemployed) person such as myself. Surely others would be interested too. So here I am saying you can have your own very special customized avatar.
I would be happy to receive requests and see my avatar style spread across the web.
