Are there any avatar makers out there?

I need a lady bug. Only I can't seem to find one. I'd be grateful. ;)

M Night Shyamalan?

:hide: I am so embarrassed

If you are on a PC, right click on the image (I'd recommend the one in reply #4, since that is square, and also fits within the DU rules about the number of bytes an avatar can take). You should get an option like "save image" (the exact wording depends on the browser you're using). Select that, and save it to your PC as 'Ladybug.jpg' or something - and remember what folder you put it in.

Then click on 'Options' in the DU row of icons above, go to 'edit your profile', and then the 'upload' link in the 'Avatar Image' section, and follow the instructions there - clicking on 'choose' will bring up a dialog window on your PC to choose the image you saved to your computer.

The avatars are displayed as 48x48 pixels - the one in #4 is 60x60, but browsers will shrink it to fit it into a 48x48 box (that's the advantage of choosing an image that's already square - the shrinking won't distort the height:width ratio).

A Mac will have a similar process, but I'm not a user so I can't say exactly what.

But T.A.'s offerings are very nice ....
