For those of you who missed out on the first round, here ya go.....

Just save it to your computer, then take it to a program like Photoshop or MS Paint, etc., and you're ready to go to town and "create yourself"....

LOL! A one eyed green monster.... Is that BeeGee's like the disco group??

If anyone else is getting creative, please share....

Yes, that's them. I didn't know the G was capitalized though. They sound a lot like my lab when she tries to 'talk'.

I went with one eye because I was finding it difficult to have both eyes level and the same size. Otherwise, it's highly accurate.

Okay, I'm going to make this a sticky since it's such a frequently requested thing...

I've had tons of fun with these. I'm sorry I didn't do one for Mardi Gras, but St. Patricks Day is just around the corner!

Eeeek, this is going to require some artistic talent! I was hoping for a digital Mr, Potatoe-head like thing, with a palette of eyes, shirts, glasses, hair and such to choose from and affix to the face. *sigh* Or like the "Clairol" site, where you can take a photo of yourself, and "try on" different hair colors, lengths, styles, etc. I remember those cut-out paper "dolls" for which you could get sheets of different outfits, and "dress" her, using different accessories, shoes and such.

And WOW, I'm truly impressed with how much talent is out there! Gosh, so many of you have gone out of your way to do these!

*gulp*
well, I'll give it a shot! Thanks for making this a stickie!

OK, I'm stuck - what programs do you folks use to make/draw the avatars? I have an old version of photoshop (not that I really know how to use it) and it doesn't seem to have the drawing tools like an ellipse maker (which would be nice for eyes) or any other shape maker. Do you just edit them in Word's picture editor?

Maybe I'm getting TOO involved in this.
