Make your own avatar

Turn your real self into a character - a hero, a fox, a robot, whatever you are - and make a profile picture no one else could make.

    01

    Pick your character

    Your avatar is you as a character. Not a photo - a fun twist on you.

    Are you a hero? A sly fox? A friendly robot? A space pirate? A dragon in a hoodie?

    Pick ONE character that feels like you on your best day.

    Add your real face

    Here is the trick that makes it truly YOU: keep your real features.

    Think hair, eyes, glasses, freckles, braces, a gap tooth, your smile.

    List three real things about how you look.

  3. Finish the step above first
    03

    Your signature thing

    What do you always have with you? Your one thing.

    Green headphones, a lucky hat, a soccer ball, a paintbrush, your cat.

    Give your character that same item.

    Show your vibe

    Your face should show your mood. Calm? Goofy? Fierce? Kind?

    Pick a couple of words for your personality, plus the face you would make.

    This is your real energy, not a fake smile for a photo.

  5. Finish the step above first
    05

    Add the thing you love

    One more layer of you: something you love to do.

    Skateboarding, drawing, coding, dancing, dinosaurs, baking cookies.

    We will hide it in the background so the picture tells your story.

  6. Finish the step above first
    06

    Choose your art style

    Now the look. The SAME style keeps your avatar clean and steady.

    Try comic-book cartoon, soft watercolor, pixel art, 3D like a movie, or bold sticker art.

    Pick one style you actually like.

  7. Finish the step above first
    07

    Lock your colors

    Great avatars use a small color set, not a rainbow mess.

    Pick two or three colors that feel like you.

    These become YOUR colors everywhere you post.

    Open the image maker

    Time to bring in the AI. Open the image maker in a new tab.

    Paste the expert prompt below. It tells the AI to act like a real character designer and to ask YOU two questions first.

    Answer its questions, then let it draw a rough first try.

    what will really happen

    The first try will be rough and may not keep your real features - image tools mangle faces and small details.

    It might skip your item or your hidden passion, or draw the hands weird.

    Treat this first draw as a sketch, not your finished avatar.

    Open an AI image maker like ChatGPT or Bing Image Creator (new tab)
    You are a professional character designer who makes avatars for kids and never copies other people's work. I want an avatar of ME as [character]. Keep these real features, they are actually mine: [features]. I always have [item] with me. My personality and expression: [vibe]. One thing I love is [passion] - hide it somewhere in the scene. Draw it in a [style] style using mostly these colors: [colors]. First, ask me two quick questions to make it feel more like the real me. Then make a square profile picture, head and shoulders, facing forward, one clear character, friendly and bold.

    Build your avatar prompt

    Now lock in one clean prompt made only of your answers.

    Hit build. This is your recipe - the exact words that make this avatar yours.

    Copy it. You will paste it in the next step.

    Do the steps above and your Build my avatar prompt shows up here.

    Generate and tweak

    Paste your built prompt into the image maker and hit go.

    Look hard: does it feel like you? Change ONE word - a color, the vibe, the style - and generate again.

    Keep the version that makes you go 'yep, that is me.'

    Open an AI image maker like ChatGPT or Bing Image Creator (new tab)
    hold on - judge it, do not celebrate
    • Does it actually feel like YOU, or just a generic cool character?
    • What is the ONE part that is off - your features, your vibe, or the colors?
    • What one word would you change to make it more you?

    Did you generate more than once, or keep the first face it gave you?

    Ship it to the wall

    You made an avatar no lever-puller could copy. Time to show it.

    Post your avatar on the class wall with #GLUNTY.

    Then set it as your glunty profile picture and wear it proud.

The class wall - share yours

Loading the class wall...

That face is all yours.

You did not pull a lever and grab whatever fell out - you built an avatar from your real hair, your real vibe, and the thing you love. Now go put it everywhere and let people meet the real you.
