Does anyone know of a good program to make avatars on? Maybe there's a program for free on download.com? Or even a good website? I've always wanted to make them but haven't known what to use...

The help is much appreciated! biggrin.gif

And when I finally get some made, I'll post them on here for everyone

In my personal opinion, Paint Shop is the best for any kind of graphics work, but Print Shop works pretty well too. Unfortunately, they're rather expensive. I was lucky to get Paint Shop Elements (a cheaper and less extensive, but still amazing version of Paint Shop) free with my camera. I don't know about anything you can download, but I don't know much about downloadable programs at all. ^^; Sorry.

You can make *okay* avatars on Microsoft Paint, but really, I don't recomend it unless you want something very basic.

You can download Irfanview...which you might be able to use. Or you can just download a basic photoshop, that's what I did.

These are my first couple of avatars...they're not the greatest, but I suppose it'll get better with time. The photoshop-like program I have (Roxio Photosuite) can't do quite as much as Photoshop either.

But here are my first couple of attempts...

Haha. Definitely. Usually it's hard to turn non-animes into anime looking pics, but she pulled it off amazingly.
