There are a number of themes in which avatars are created, such as: “Sci-fi”, “Mystical”, “Stylish”, “Adventure”, among others. But not all created avatars come out with good quality, as we said above, the result varies. It will depend on whether or not the user is meeting the prerequisites charged by the application.
