Good work on creating and reflecting upon your avatars. Your use of NBA 2k sports is an excellent example that mirrors this process. The contrast between the features the 2k gives you and the evolver software's options defiantly helps illustrate your point concerning the limitations of the evolver program. Especially your concerns about things specific to your avatar other then outward appearances. I like how you state that in 2k you can give your avatar personality like their "playing style" It is interesting that Evolver is based purely on looks and one does not have the ability to truly create a digital representation of themselves concerning personality and I like your creative use of 2k that draws on that. Your struggles in creating your self-portrait and how you dealt with these seem to be well described here. Your 3 photo concept is an excellent way to help capture all of the features of your face. Dealing with the pre-made avatar parents is a difficult process and your struggles with creating your self from the available selections is well described. In creating your Fantasy Avatar it is interesting that your strategy was to create almost what the creators of evolver would look like. I would have liked to hear more about how creating the ideal venture capitalist or silicon valley man came to be the focus of your fantasy avatar and more about how the struggles you faced in creating this avatar were more or less difficult then your self portrait. Overall good work. -T Arnold
