Whith a very unique style and heaps of options you are sure to create some very cooky characters.

This first release consists mostly of the Jayvatar builder, which is where you can create your custom jayvatar by combining any of the various pieces of clothing and accessories. You can also choose between male and female body types, as well as different attributes, such as height, weight and arm length.

There is even a ‘random’ button for the less visually creative that generates a random jayvatar automatically.

Once you have completed creating you Jayvatar, you can save it and share it via facebook, twitter and email. You can also save a version onto your computer for whatever reason you have in mind.

You can also play around with your Jayvatar in the Javatar Playground.
Here you can make your Jayvatarcan fly around the screen, bump items, crash down, etc.

At the moment the playground is just a Beta version so there is only a limited amount of interactivity happening. There full release will allow you to do a lot more.

As a bonus, those people from Australia and New Zealand that sign up soon will be given a free $10 voucher to spend in store… BONUS!

So what are you waiting for? Head over to the Jay Jays site and create your own..

Apart from the cool design, the best part of the site is the tiny little characters walking around the site – sitting, dancing, etc.

For those of you that don’t know, every employee at VJ is has a custom designed avatar created for use in their emails, business cards, presentations, etc. My little character is off the side here – A man in a gorilla suit working at a laptop.

The plan for the site is to eventually have everyone’s avatar appearing on the site randomly. You can identify each avatar by rolling your mouse over them – their name will appear above.

As an added bit of fun, you can throw characters into the air and see how far they travelled. For the record my best is about 2000m, but I have heard rumours of people breaking the 3000m mark.

My avatar recently made it onto the site, so check it out at http://www.visualjazz.com.au and see if you can find me.

One of the new updates is this new section dedicated to random, trivial stuff that spews out of my brain. I would post a link to it, but if you are reading this you are most likely already in the Ramblings section, and I wouldn’t want to create an infinite loop that could destroy the world.

Stay tuned for other random bits of information!
