Mine's a picture of a junk statue that I've kept as my avatar for many years. It's part of me now.

I bought mine (and then cropped it and added some text).  Also bought all of my other* ones too (except one, which I made from a template after the guy stopped selling them).

*I've got 25 files sitting in this particular folder.  Some are duplicates at other sizes, and there are some newer ones not up there.

I searched for 'Kenzo Tenma', then resized/cropped it.

I traced over the basic outline of my head and shoulders in a webcam program, ducked out of frame, took the picture, converted it to a monochrome bitmap, cleaned up the lines, then coloured it appropriately.
I also have a rainbow version.

I made mine via some simple Photoshopping. Also use it as my desktop wallpaper! (Though with a different aspect ratio)

Duke Arthur Wellington + My Face (We have very similar bone structure, oddly enough) = Mine.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

I made mine meself, which is why it sucks.

When I started I was intending it to be a hammer, can't remember how it ended up a phoenix. I think I'll change it now.

Got tired of question marks running around for my custom race in Stonesense so I made some sprites for them.

They turned out better than I expected so I converted one to look more heroic and more like an old D&D char I had of the race (who's happens to be the same as my forum name).   Boom, avatar.

Before this one it was just a screenshot of a flashing cyan D on a black background.  Shouldn't be hard to tell what that was supposed to represent.

I hacked into the pentagon's classified intelligence database and managed to retrieve this picture from some sort of image documentary. I think it's an artist's impression of the aliens in Area 51.
