These sort of things discriminate against those of us who have no idea how to describe appearance! If only I could upload a photo and it would make a "closest match".

  I've seen those mall photo booths that supposedly do something like this - takes a snapshot of you and caricature-izes it. I can't for the life of me think of what they're called or who makes them.. Only other thing I remember is it's adorned with a picture of a girl who wearing a beret who looks like an artist.

Maybe this could be a crowd sourceable feature. Someone on mechanical turk or crowdflower or 99 designs could take a photo and create your character and send the design back to you which you can print later.

  For instance, there're several people doing drawings and caricatures on fiverr[1] for 5 bucks. [1] http://fiverr.com/categories/graphics-design/create-cartoon-caricatures http://fiverr.com/categories/graphics-design/create-cartoon-...

On another note, I went to make a pair of them for a friend and her husband's anniversary, but he has very little hair and there is no kind way to not put hair on something like this.

Oh man, I thought that was just me! "Hmm, have I got a round face or a square face? What shape are my ears?" I HAVE NO IDEA.

My kid knows perfectly well what she looks like. The developers however don't seem to know anyone that is of the non-peachy variety...(!) Only smooth & silky hairstyles. All girls have dainty little noses. All eyes have folds. My (interracial) kid felt very welcome... Try again. (!)Edit: I was wrong, skin tone selection is there. Hair/nose remarks stand.

  Thanks for your feedback. We've just added some more unisex noses. Let me know if those work for you. As for the hair, we're aware there are some styles missing and we have more options in the pipeline. If you want you can send through a photo of the styles you have in mind and I'll pass it onto our illustrator. Hope that helps.
