A part from saving us from having to sit through gruelling photograph sessions, we chose to use Manga Characters as they are a great way to showcase your creativity and keep your blog looking fun and inviting.

They are great as you can make yourseld look as silly as you want or as beautiful as your want in a few simple clicks of the button.

We used a website called http://www.faceyourmanga.com/welcome.htm to do ours and it is incredibly easy to use. Eyes, face shapes, earrings and clothes, you have got the freedom to experiment with your character and make them as close to life as you want.

The other great thing about this website is that it is free to create your Manga, meaning you can do as many as you want for no cost at all.

Give it a go, and try them on your blogs. They will only take a few minutes.
