is this my manga face? tweet this send to google buzz

my manga face?, originally uploaded by gorgeoux.

Tried to face my manga (face?!) the other day, seeing that it's all the rave on Twitter and such. I then received the avatar in an e-mail inviting me to buy it. Why would I? Even though a woman, I don't acquire all things cute and shiny. Plus it doesn't look manga enough, if you ask me. Plus the photo I use on all online services these days is so much more me. Strange business model, this Italian take on manga; rather ask a friend with Photoshop skills to turn your photo into a cool anime avatar.

Why buying your manga face? Because you enjoyed the 20 or 30 minutes you've spent trying to compose from scratch a copy of you in a (relative-)manga style... The use of the result I think it's not a must...
Of course, it's just theory... I also spent some time trying... and no payment at the end. I have an excuse here: none of their patterns seems to fit to my face and I'll keep both my money and my current avatar picture. :)

Three minutes the most, here :) I can follow your reasoning quite closely, though.
