Request for custom animated avatars
I would like make some custom animated avatars for myself to use it at various places like in forums and some social networking sites.
An avatar which should be wonderful and have the cumulative effect of making me a lottery winner!
I am ready to provide the details for those who is ready to show me the way and need my photographs or descriptions that would help to develop the avatar. Also, exactly what words I would like to have on it. I need to know what size restrictions there are, if any. Both for the image itself (pixel size) and how large the total file size (kb's) can be.
And if you don't have that information, I need to know if it is available for free on net that you want to hare with me.

An Avatar is a square image that is used to identify a poster on a message board. Most message boards have a selection of "stock" avatars available to choose from but a lot of people want to use something more personal.
Avatar images are used in forums and social networking sites (MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, & others) to identify you in your profile and when you update and/or post.
Here is a site which can help you to customize your avatar: http://customdesigngraphics.com/avatars.html
Steps to create Virtual Avatar
The following is the steps to create a virtual avatar:
- Go to Yahoo! and sign in to your account. (If you don't have an account, follow the simple directions and make one.)
- Click "Create My Avatar." The avatar creator page should open with a small tutorial.
- Click "Appearance" to get started.
- Choose a face and eyes.
- Choose a hairstyle. Click the "Hairstyle" link under the Appearance tab. Click on the hairstyle you want your avatar to have. You can even change the color by clicking on the color palette next to the hairstyles.
- Change your avatar's clothes.
- Choose an extra to go with your avatar if you want. Click on the "Extra" tab on the top of the page. You can add a hat, scarf, bag and even a pet, by clicking on the links under the Extras tab.
- Choose the background by going to the "Background" tab. When you find one you like click on it to add the background.
- Click "Save Changes" when you are finished.
- Copy the avatar onto your computer.
For Mac: Hold down Apple, Shift, 4 on your keyboard. Drag the cursor over your avatar and release. It will take a picture of it and put a file called Picture1.png on your desktop.
For Windows: Click the "Print Screen" button. Paste it into a program like MS Paint. Crop it and save as a .jpg or .gif.
- Now you have your very own Yahoo! avatar. Upload it onto any website that asks for an avatar!
