Help me get a cool avatar
Don't know if it's against the rules to break the fourth wall here or not but I'm getting tired of not having a face on the forum and I'd like to get a cool avatar like a lot of the people I see around here.
But I just don't have any idea what to get or where to get it. Can anyone help? How do people do it?

Choose "Edit Profile."
On the left side will be a bunch of links to things you can do
Choose "change my picture"
On that screen, upload a picture from your computer
If it's cropped weird you can change that in "edit my thumbnail"
Pick an image you like, save to computer, and upload it. No porn.

possibly related to an ancient Let's Play from way back when.
Like @Orphane is dedicated to protecting dolphins eyes from the sun, and dumps millions of sunglasses into the ocean each year.
but not Sparks, Bizzaro Stormy, or Regular Stormy for those are taken
pretty sure Murphy is too
Step Two: Right-click on it and select Edit.
Step Three: Draw googly eyes and a silly face on it.
Step Four: Upload it to site by using the Change My Picture feature under Edit Profile (the gear icon on these forums).
Step Five: Ta-da! PROFIT!
EDIT: Seriously, just find a picture that you like in a square format, and upload that.
Don't people hate animated avatars? I wouldn't want people blocking out my avatar because it's distracting.
The content should be something you like/feels represents you/amuses you. It's you, after all. Pick a character from your favorite show, or a cool design, or a funny image you enjoy.
Your avatar is how you want people to think about you. I'm an academic nerd from Florida, which lines up fairly well with what I've got.
How do you want people to see you? Online you can construct any identity you like, either closeish to the mark like some of us, or something totally different if you want. Sky's the limit.
Well, size limit is the limit. But withi those limits are limitless limits of limitations.

Also be wary that people will take you literally. Paladin is very much a glowing yellowish smoke demon, Tofystedeth is a strange spiky haired doom jedi, and Local Jay is actually Bill Murray.
This is science fact.

Here you go.
I 've been told my avatar is less distracting than it is hypnotizing.
Listen to the man hiding in a box. He knows what is what.
ART THOU BORED!?
on the other hand, I have not changed my avatar since my join date, except to add a christmas wreath for the holidays
Do certain kinds of avatars not animate on mobile? Or am I just blind? I can't see anything moving on your avatar at all.
It's a sneaky avatar, it only moves when you aren't looking
Whatever it lands on, the main character is now your avatar.
XFIRE:redspo0n (Yep, Zero in there) XBL: Pinkspo0n
It doesn't move much, but every 15 seconds or so (it's been a while since I made it and I forgot the timing) it does a sly side-to-side glance and winks.
Depending on the size of your mobile, it might be too small to notice.
We're not picky

My two cents - pick something dumb from a music video because hey why not worked for me.
I've been known to have avatars that have broken forumers.

I think you're right, the harder I look the less satisfied I seem to be with my options.
I have no idea though how to really find "the one". It's not like I going around looking at memes nor do I have any particular characters I'd be interested in.
