The Dreaded Avatar

Just finished off a hard day doing tedious tweaking and balancing on Rock Legend, and treated myself to a new hair style for Poser. Say hello to my dreadlocked avatar



Each avatar comes in about 6 different flavours, which are just variations on the same image. That way you pick someone you vaguely like the look of, then go through their options. It's not vaguely as configurable as a 3D avatar chooser, but then again, you get very high quality images with no 3D card effort, and given that my game is more like Civ than it is like an MMO, I think a wide, but not infinite choice of avatar is fine.
