So the [Simpsons Movie website (http://www.simpsonsmovie.com/)] has a page where you can make yourself as a Simpsons character, much like the South Park Character Studio that went around a few years ago.

Here's mine:

Spiffy, eh?

Fun.

This doesn't look a whole lot like me though.

My, that's some swanky site. They don't usually go to the trouble of storing it internally and/or adding a "Save to JPG" feature. Which, ironically, refused to work for me, so have a screenshot.

Edit: Everyone goes for black shoes.

Actually mine are slightly blue.

Incidentally Matty, that is definitely you.

I'm secretly hoping we can get some of the Teamsters in here to give this thing a whirl, but don't tell anyone.

I don't fancy the idea of JPG compression either.

But I do that in real life too. :p

Shoe colour isn't of great importance in this kind of thing unless you're trying to go somewhere with it. Like being a clown or something. 'tis why we've gone for teh darkness.

Cheers, Ben. I'm getting quite good at it, now. I had to redo my Mii, but my family's are SPOT ON! My dad's is almost photorealistic!!!!!! Yours looks a little unlike you, to me. I can have a crack if you like.

This could be a good avatar fad.

Feel free, if you want to have a go. I intend to use my avatar as my Ben Of The Month on RealVG (and various other forums), so if you can improve upon what I've done then go for it.

You don't have sticky up hair or a Victorian forehead. You have hair that covers your head but is flat to it, but there isn't a suitable cut in the options. Your hair is a darker ginger but in cartoon form that doesn't work as well as the colour we picked here. Your eyebrows aren't especially thick. Your eyes are a little further apart than some, IIRC, but the options didn't reflect your personality very well without choosing ones with half-closed lids. I chose a smaller size, which is still cartoonish but more closely resembles real life IMO.
Your choice of mouth gave you a bit more chubbiness to your face, which is true, but I wanted to go for length to compensate for the change of hair.
You usually always have something on your T-shirts. In this case it's something as close to sci-fi as can be gotten (the three-eyed fish). I felt brown shoes worked better than black in this case, with your (new) denim jeans.

My hair is only like this because it hasn't been cut for around 12 or 13 weeks.

Note:
My sideburns are missing and the stature is supposed to be chubby, not athletic.
I'm not (yet) the 3rd fat-preset.

You look a bit like Sacha Baron Cohen.

Whoa look out it's a thing

Edit: The hair color's a little funky. Has more of a tint to it than I thought or something. Should be darker.

Oh! Right.
I should create one for my clown alter-ego too!
