I defy anyone to top this one.

Also.

I still cannot get that website to work. I was just not meant to be Magnaized. :(

Oh yay, Stynx made me.

I still love this oldie, if only because there are so many options you can kill an hour making the perfect one. When I worked in offices...

Also this one. Boys and more.

Here's my first attempt. Not very accurate. Far too girly.

Then I tried another, using the boy options. Close, but still no cigar.

All the elements are there, and yet still it somehow doesn't look like me.

Also, I just realized that I put the mole on the wrong side - this is what I look like when I look in the mirror, not when other people look at me. Weird.

I made one that I'm using as a LiveJournal avatar, but I didn't upload the full-size pic anywhere. I'll have to share once I get home.

muddgirl! How did you get the short hair! I couldn't get my hair to match. The style is right but its actual length is just below my ears.

Bah:

You are using a system based on LINUX platform.
Our service does not support this Operative System at the moment.
We are working to settle this drawback as soon as possible.

haha lysdexic - my hair is actually closer to your picture, but I guess I didn't see that one at the time :) It was confusing - there were two categories for hair, "Short" and "Long". My hair seems short to me, but I guess it's actually "Long".

You can still do a screencap, octo.

When I post that right above the picture, does it seem like I'm shouting it at you? I should've picked a smilier mouth.

Yea, but you have to start all over again since the back button just got me to another error screen. Mine looked a lot like yours except with no earrings and a pointier chin.

I put mine in my MeFi profile.

I did it again and did a "Print Screen" to capture it before the web-app ate it again. It doesn't really look like box's this time but doesn't really look much like me either (maybe me from 15 years ago).

I was using this pic of me as a guide but didn't really capture it.

I made it black and white after the fact. I like it... it looks like a Daniel Clowes character to me.
