Synopsis I've created a modular system of graphics designed to create a large library of faces for use as Chat software Avatars. Their modular nature allows a library of about 200 component graphics to create millions of possible Avatars. Programmers might want to write software that layers the components and builds the Avatars dynamically. In the interest of simplicity, I've simply pre-generated a large body of Avatars that a programmer could reference from within their software.
Description Here are some examples of the modular components.

And here combined:

One of the advantages of this system is that it can be easily expanded. You can tell from the samples that at the small size, some of the nuances of difference from one Avatar to the next, might be difficult to see. Therefore, I'll soon be adding more dramatic components, like more wild hairstyles, sunglasses, extreme makeup. That kind of thing.
