A caricature as your online avtaar
Now, you can get a customised caricaturised replica of your photo - similar to the ones in the 2006 film A Scanner Darkly with Phophoto. A pretty apt accompaniment for your networking or blog profile or 
IM/ game avtaars, Phophoto provides two ways to transform your photo into personalized digital art - Vector Portraits and Manga Caricatures. Every portrait is digitally drawn by hand and inked by an experienced graphic artist, blending the digital with organic. Every artistic rendition is vector based and resolution independent meaning that it can be outputted to the highest quality at any scale. With every order you get a PDF, a large and small JPEG, and a PC and Mac icon file.
Update: View my PhoPhoto here - not only is it a pretty good likeness but it also succeeds in bringing out quite a number of characteristics.
