A few days ago, I asked you to help me create a new set of avatar images for MindWare's protagonist. You've cast your votes, and I now know exactly what my AI image generation prompt should look like.

Here are the results:

Ethnicity:
- Caucasian (25)
- South Asian (4)
- Mixed/Other, East Asian, Middle Eastern (tie) (1 each)
Age Range:
- 18-25 (24)
- 26-35 (6)
- 36-45 (2)
Body Type:
- Average (11)
- Athletic (11)
- Slim (7)
Hair Color:
- Unnatural color (e.g., blue, green, pink) (7)
- Black (7)
- Brown (7)
- Blonde (7)
Hair Style:
- Long and flowing (14)
- Short and neat (11)
- Asymmetrical (2)
Eye Color:
- Blue (12)
- Cybernetic (e.g., glowing, multicolored) (10)
- Green (5)
Facial Hair:
- Clean-shaven (25)
- Stubble (6)
- Goatee (2)
Additional Features:
- None (13)
- Piercings (8)
- Tattoos (7)

As you can see, there's one tie, and that's the hair color. To break it, I had to took into consideration whether the vote was cast by a supporter or a non-supporter. It was very close, but brown hair won by 1 vote.

Overall, the character design that emerged from this poll is almost identical with the character I would have gone with if I had designed it completely myself (I would have likely chosen to have the character have a small amount of stubble instead of being completely clean-shaved).

So now that I have all the information I need to generate the avatar images, it's time for me to get to work!
