Common Mistakes while creating Custom Avatars

Creating front-facing avatars can often come with a series of challenges and common mistakes that users encounter regularly. This article will discuss these general issues and provide guidance on the suitable types of photos to upload.

Common Photo Mistakes

When it comes to uploading the correct photo for creating avatars, here are some common mistakes people make:

1. Side Pose Photographs: Photos taken from the side view are not acceptable.
2. Photographs with Headgear: Headgear can obscure facial features and result in an inaccurate avatar.
3. Background Issues: Photos with complex or busy backgrounds, such as foliage, are not appropriate. A plain background is essential.
4. Smiling with Teeth: Smiling with teeth visible can distort facial features and is usually not recommended.
5. Artwork or Sketches: Hand-drawn portraits or artwork versions of the face are not suitable.
6. Incomplete Face: Photos that do not show the complete face or have portions obscured will be rejected.
7. Sunglasses or Shades: Wearing sunglasses or any kind of face-obscuring accessories will not be accepted.
8. Other Obstructions: Hands or other objects in front of the face will cause the photo to be rejected.

Acceptable Photographs

Here are examples of photos that are acceptable:

1. Front-Facing Photograph: A clear, front-facing photo showing the entire face.
2. Passport-Style Photo: A photo similar to a passport photograph, showing the face directly without smiling.
3. Plain Background: The photo should have an absolutely plain background.
4. No Obstructions: The face should be fully visible without any sunglasses, headgear, or obstructions.
