AVATAR Yourself
If you love a sports team, you buy the player's jersey. Love AVATAR? PhotoShop yourself as a Na'vi, like Peter Ammentorp Lund did. Not impressed yet? It took Kailey Michelle a day to pull this one off, while Vahag'n Azaryan jokes that he's the first Armenian avatar and flyflybluedragonfly just looks cool. In fact there's just a ton of human-Na'vi hybrids at the Flickr Avatar Fan Zone pool, and a wider range of fan-created art at the James Cameron's Avatar pool and The Na'vi! pool. And you just knew this was going to cross over into Second Life.

Here's what I got. Plus I did a tribute to the Tonight Show for having on a Na'Vi and being a good show

I'd probably pay someone to photoshop me into an Avatar.

This is of me, it took an hour to do. I used the same method (kind of) as the person who did his at the top, but my Photoshop wasn't as good or updated as his.

Im totally going to do this when I get time. Luckily im pretty good with photoshop, hope it turns out well.
@G_everett_king there is a video that shows the guy making his. It goes really fast tho you'll probably just have to play around with it. If I get time ill try and make a tutorial.

What a great Photoshop challenge. It was a lot easier than I thought. I've shown here all the photoshop layers you need to make your own avatar out of a photo of yourself.

Wow! Thanks for linking to my Second Lifeā¢ Images... it's true there is a huge group of fans in SL, some are really into the role play, or like myself, just amazed by the virtual re-creation(s) of Pandora... and the 'photo ops'.
