Do you want to hide your real picture from this online world? or do you want to show yourself in a new avatar with some new dashing looks? Try out Befunky.com which is a online tool for create cartoons and avatars.
You just need to select the feature you need and the interface gets loaded. The next would be your requirement to upload from your desktop, via webcam or online URL. Then you have the feature to add styles like –
Sketch Details – Adjust Brightness
Adjust Color Levels
Warp Brush Size
Adding Photo Frames
Appearance Settings – Hair, Eyes, Lips
Accessories – Eyewear, Hats, Jewelry
Adding Text, Speech Balloons & Graphic Text
The Cartoons you see in this post were made using befunky with one of my recent photos.
Great site man..
Lots of options for customization,thanks!
I covered a similar post sometime back – http://www.vinayis.in/2008/08/17/shake-yourself-virtual-identity-faceyourmanga/
Yahoo! Avatars has been doing this for ages as long as I remember – http://avatars.yahoo.com/ & so are other companies http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=online+avatars&btnG=Google+Search&meta= !!
I like Face Your Manage better than one you have suggested though.
