I just got lucky that one of the online comics I regularly read was looking for "volunteers" to be Bandits in a Xena paraody strip. So, I became a comic strip character. After that, it was easy to create my avatar.
Actually, my first avatar was kinda crude. The artist's boyfriend also has his own strip, and didn't like seeing his girfriend's art looking so crude. So he took my clip of her art and facied it up and smoothed it out. I've been using this avatar for a while on different boards. I had to compress it for this board. It's normally something like 100 x100.
