IMVU : Custom Avatar Batman Character Skins


The other day I saw a link to IMVU & was curious to see what it was all about. I've seen their ad banners a million times at places like MySpace. Anyway, what it is is sort-of an "Instant Message Social Network Site" where you create a little avatar character of yourself & go to virtual rooms to talk with friends or strangers. One of the things you do, when creating an avatar, is you pick out skin color, eye color, hair, etc...you can actually make one that really looks like you. They have all kinds of body types & different clothing. Well, it seems there's a lot of people really really into it & they get very creative about it. There are 3-D Graphic Artists who make special clothing you can buy. The stuff is pretty cheap, like 10 cents for shoes, that kinda thing. Anyway, there's a few people who have made a lot of "Cosplay-Type" costumes for your character that are Batman-related...very cool! You can see the examples above: Harley Quinn, Riddler, Batgirl, etc...I love these. I mean, I really love it when people get creative, that's cool.
