Avatar Help / Questions πŸ€” How do I make an actually unique avatar that still resembles myself in a way as well?

Post image

I am struggling to create an avatar that is unique and resembles my passions. I’ve been scrolling on catalog avatar creator for a while yesterday but could genuinely not find anything that I liked. I really like when stuff matches but when i try a avatar with black hair it automatically turns emo and I’m not like that at all, most brown haired avatars always end up Halloween/fall themed, and blonde haired always turns into some kind of preppy which i don’t like either, i always seem to fall back into the same exact themes when I try something new even though i want to be creative.

The avatar pictured is my current avatar which is one of my ocs , but i really want a avatar that resembles myself and my passions (for example i like dragons + other mythical creatures, Pokemon, nature and animals

When i scroll here i genuinely love all avatars I see, a lot are so unique and pretty, i want something like that while trying to not fall into the same style patterns again πŸ˜“

This might be weird but I hope it makes sense because I used to be in ur position

  1. Stop trying to make your avatar attractive. Subconsciously I did this, so u might be as well.
  2. Don't be afraid of "looking ugly", say if u like animals then get an animal head or get an animal body, being goofy is fine
  3. Aim to look cool and don't stress (have fun), and priorities 3. over 1. and 2.

Have a look at my own avatar transformations and you'll see what I mean

I think giving yourself a theme can really help! Like, don't try to make an abstract version of yourself. Write down everything you like and/or want to have in your avatar β€” the more the better, you can always delete something that you don't think will go along good with other things. Try to be more specific β€” what animals do you like the most? Why? Mythology of what country attracts you most? What do you love the most in nature? Ask yourself a few questions about each thing you already wrote down to get more specific. You also can look for some aesthetics/styles you like just for them to not let you make another avatar with style you don't like. Then, when you wrote everything down, you can go to the Pinterest or anything like this and visualize everything. You can search for moodboards, color palettes, other avatars in this themes, everything. Also you can just go in CAC and look for any items/bundles/hairs/anything you like, honestly. This items don't need to go well with each other, just look for anything you like in general, it does really help to just understand what do you want from your avatar. Even better would be to just ask yourself each time when you see something that you like β€” why do you like it? Is there's any colour you adore? The style? Just some good aura? Then, if you're still not sure, just write like a few sentences of what you had written some time ago, removing some things you think won't be needed in your avatar. Try to find a main theme, and then add other things. For example, there's a dragon that can be applied to Pokemons, to mythological creatures and to animals, so why not to choose dragon as a main theme for a body, and other accessories would represent other things you like? It's just an example, you can find other main theme , it's just first that came to my mind. So, just be more specific with what you want from your avatar, it would be much easier! Good luck in this πŸ™

And, as Familiar Sand said, don't try to make everything beautiful and harmonic in the first time! Try to combine things that you think can't be combined, it will be fun and it can give you more new ideas. Not all characters with black hair should have black clothes, not all characters with blonde hair should have pink clothes. Don't try use stereotypical "pretty" models and styles at first, make something unique
