That’s right, as mentioned in the past, you can now customize your very own avatar in CityPixel! And the greatest part is you can do it all for free; it doesn’t cost any pixels. Yeah!
Here is a little guide on how to get started:
1) Log-in and select the ‘me’ icon from the navigation bar.
2) Next click on the customize avatar icon marked with a new label.
3) From there, select a template and then let your imagination run wild, by designing and coloring your very own virtual character.

4) Click on the save button and then place your avatar anywhere in the city.
If you have any questions about the customize avatar module or anything in PixelYork, don’t hesitate to drop a line.
Lastly, with Halloween just around the corner, try to design the best costume for your avatar and share it on this blog. Winner of the most unique avatar will win some extra pixels to purchase various items you can place in your apartment/cube or car.
Enjoy the new feature and as always if you have any suggestions don’t hesitate to leave a message.

The new avatar customizer is cool but, it would be better in beauty or barber shop. I haven’t seen any and most city have at least one. Just a thought!
I love that you can change your character, thanks!!
The ability to customize our avatars has been great! I’ve seen some very creative designs. However, I do have a few gripes: All the customized avatars face the same way; you can’t change it so that they look like their walking; one of the hairstyles is missing; and you can’t choose which hairstyle goes with witch type of clothes. In no way am I really complaining, though. I really do appreciate this feature. Heh, human nature: give people something really great, and leave it to them to find the negatives in it.
Oh, I forgot: The thing I most commonly find myself needing is an eyedropper tool. I often have to re-paint parts of my avatar because I can’t match an advanced color I chose.
