The more I think about how ridiculous it is to me that people spend so much time customizing their avatar to meet some fantastic aesthetic, or how grossly people will miss represent themselves using their avatar, the more I consider how much I think concern over personal appearance is ridiculous in RL. This is a view that most would share, and so my judgment should be tempered with this consideration: Just because I think it's O.K. to look like a slob, and by extension have a half-assed sloppy avatar, doesn't give me the moral high-ground. At best it just saves me some time and hassle in favor of life's more important things.
The avatar is like the extension of your ego. Which makes me wonder how much of your design might depend on less conscious elements of your pyche, or where might your id manifest itself on second life?
