Whoa, ease up turbo! A single ? will probably do. XD

Anyway, first off this probably belongs in the "Artistic Requests" subforum of the "Museum of the Arts" board. Course, no mods on duty at the moment so we can't get it moved right now.

As for Avatar making, there's several methods one can use to make one, most involving some sort of image editing program. Once you've got one made you'll need to upload it to an image hosting website of some sort.

Mine was made in paint, although the current version was made by another member of the board and I'm not sure how they did it.

At any rate, you make something in the image editing software of your choice, and then upload it somehwere. Sonic Blast also has a bunch of pre-set ones you can use so you can have a look through them by clicking "Change Avatar" up by the top of the page under "Preferences."

I hope that was of some help. ^^;

You can also just take a screenie or stock art of your choice and crop it until it's avatar sized. That's practically what mine is (albeit with slight alterations to edit out the overlapping text), and it's what most other people do.

Edit: Don't ask me how to make an avi where the clipart rotates with every refresh, though. Damn, I'm always surprised by them...

"I didn't use the whole thing ...."
Meh, I can normally cluck together a half decent avatar in a couple of minutes, so if you want me to make you one just let me know.
The only rule I tend to go by is that if it uses artwork from stuff like Diviantart then I need to know who drew it so I can get thier permisson to edit it.

Yes, usually you can also FIND some avatars on Photobucket, or Google if thats any help, or find an image of someone you like, crop it and make it an avatar. If its not disorted. ;) hope that was some help

I mean come on, how hard is it to make an avatar. It's as easy as pressing the power button on your compute-

Wow, I didn't mean too actually press the power button literally. But anyway, you can do this with virtually any program that involves digital editng, or easier without all the fuzz. You can just grab an avatar off of our little avatar section and/or find a website with a decently sized image and you can just copy-paste the link into the URL in the 'Edit Avatar' section and very quickly without much digital editing or effort. You have an avatar.
