Here is a picture of my Avatar that I use in Second Life. I had already had an Avatar created from a previous class but I decided to modify him a little bit for this assignment.
My Avatar really looks a lot like myself in real life with a few changes that I guess I wish I possessed in real life. His eyes are blue like mine. His hair is brown like mine. I tried to make the facial features as accurate as I could to my real life self. I have changed my Avatar's clothes from what I have been wearing to a comfortable pair of jeans, a long undershirt, and a t-shirt. I have given my Avatar a bookbag to represent my "student" aspects of life.
Things that I have changed about my Avatar that are inaccurate to my real life image include height and body build. My Avatar is a cool 6'3 in Second Life. In real life, I am only 5'10. Body wise, my Avatar is more muscular than I am in real life. I weigh a 170 pds. in real life and have lost pretty much all the muscle I had in college when I had to work out and lift for baseball. My Avatar is 190, about 20 pounds of muscle that I have lost since college. The good news, I am gaining much of the weight back that I lost since I graduated from college in 2006. The bad news is that all of this weight is fat and not muscle. :) I look forward to checking out everyone else's Avatars and I hope you enjoy the rest of your week.

Hi Andrew! I feel the same way about my avatar, she is more how I would like to look than how I am in real life. My plan is to really hit the gym hard after graduation. ;-)

I like the pic Andrew. I too have the same problem with my avatar - its more muscular than I am! But it is nice to relive youth through the benefits of Second Life technology. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteNice piture of your avatar. I guess that's the fun of Second Life... being able to create the avatar in the image of how we all may have looked or wanted to look like.
