Simpson Sketches....

Ok... so everyone loves the Simpson portraits.. so let's roll with it... I'd like for you... yes you... to go make your own and then I'll post it at our blog :) So I can collect our whole family and you too can be part of the blog. :) This'll be fun for the whole family!

It's simple but the user interface is kind of poorly designed so here are some tips so your experience is less painful than my first one was and you find all the options:

1. Surf over to this URL: http://www.simpsonsmovie.com/main.html
2. Enter the site and Design your portrait as a Simpson Character by clicking on the "Create your Simpsons Avatar" button at the top of the screen next to the simpson logo.
3. You don't have to login just click new character and select your sex (male/female).
4. Next you can change your sex on the first screen if you messed up. Pick your body shape & color then click on the arrow at the top right hand corner of the page that seems to be associated with the male/female switching option but is really for you to move to the next step.
5. Pick and color your hair by clicking on the color pallette at the bottom of the screen to color and the new arrows to scroll through the hair designs until you find your hair type... once you are done you'll use the arrows at the top right hand corner of the window to move back and forth from step to step. You can go back a step and change something at any point.
6. When you get to the shoes/pants click on which one you want to edit and you can color them. That's the last step...
7. Don't use the send to a friend option b/c it compresses the image more and it is smaller than the ones I put up of Erin and I... instead click on the "download your avatar" button which is an arrow point downwards... that will open a screen and you can choose your download option... select jpeg (top option in black type)...
8. It will download on your desktpo and then you can just email me your jpeg and I'll start posting you guys up :)

Took longer to type that than it'll take you to create your avatar...

So GO FORTH and do it already!!!
