CD Freaks Living Room Discuss, Do you know where to get avatar icons? at International Chat: General Topics forum; I have finally decided to get a avatar (it's only took me about 18 months!) but I was quite shocked how hard it was to find them. Most were crap (including the one I'm currently using) so I was wondering where you lot got yours from? P.S.

Do you know where to get avatar icons?

I have finally decided to get a avatar (it's only took me about 18 months!) but I was quite shocked how hard it was to find them.

P.S. I'm not the arty type so making my own is out of the question.

Just did a little resizing and stuff.. nothing fancy...

I've found this cow one (don't ask, it just appealed to the cow part of me ), but I'm still not happy.
Any other suggestions?

Try something that relates to any other hobbies or interests you have....

As Dee-ehn stated, you can easily create your own, even by only resizing a bigger picture...(even I created my own )

My wife uses photoshop all the time so you just get use to picking it for any graphical type of work.
