Make Your Own Manga Avatar

Manga Avatar


Avatars are a great way to express one's character and personality online without displaying an identifiable, facial image. An avatar is an image that stands in for the computer user in the form of an image of an object or cartoon character that's representative of the user's tastes and interests. Make a manga avatar using one of the many online manga avatar generators to represent the user in this style of cartooning characterized by large eyes, wild colored hair and exaggerated expressions. Originally Japanese, the manga style is recognized internationally and all over the Internet, and is a fun and different way to present one's self.
