Avatars?

Does anyone know a good location for Avatar sized files? Or what "size" they have to be if I find a .jpg image that I like?

I was just thinking that Aragorn from the Ralph Bakshi LotR might be a good one.

Thanks

Mike

If you click on "user cp" and then "Avatar," it mentions that custom avatars must be 64 x 64 pixels or 5,000 bytes -- whichever is smaller.

Personally, I've never had much luck finding avatars online. I'm sure there are places you can go, but getting an image you like and trimming/resizing it in Photoshop works pretty well.

Best thing to do is find a picture and then resize it. Jpg is standard but I think it will allow GIFs, the avatar size is has to be 64X64 and no bigger than 5000 bytes.

Yes, it's lovely. Too bad the movie was a steaming pile of dung!

I think any character from Fire and Ice would make for a better avatar...

It sure ain't easy, but if you have several hours/days you can find stuff.
