Stylized cartoon images are great, but what if you're not artistic enough to make one. That's where sites like Befunky can lend a helping hand.Befunky takes images from your computer, webcam or on the web and with some input from you, creates a cartoonish effect that you can share with others. You're free to adjust the amount of sketching, color and pencil strokes applied to get the look you're after. If you want to further customize your image a host of borders and speech bubbles are available as well.
What's really interesting about Befunky is the use of layers to make editing so much easier. If you're familiar with imaging software like Photoshop or Gimp the ability to use layers is a must.

Currently, the site supports the creation of images and avatars. Video effects are currently under development.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
