I'm seeing a lot of great avatars in here, and being a basic nube when it comes to graphics design (at least that which doesn't relate to a Data Flow Diagram), I'm wonder what tool is being used to create them and how to do it. I've got some ideas for a design, but don't know what s/w to use to create them. Hopefully, the learning curve isn't too steep either as I'm not much of a mountain climber.

http://www.alchemymindworks.com

this site boasts a fantastic .gif animation package thats easy to use and very effective. the shareware version is available for download.

'Gif construction set pro'

made my avatard with this. It combines a animation page with MS paint, or you can set it up to work with PS, adobe, etc.

this one is quite cool, took a few hours though, and nearly 900 frames

could be done alot better though, and viewing it in this way through an image link makes it slow down horribly in places.

edit: hit refresh to restart.

While my static avitar isn't as snazzy as the animated ones, it still says who I am...and is very unique.

PaintShop Pro 8 did the job. Just make sure your sizing fits AH standards or it won't upload.

Paint for the image editing, Gif Contstruction Set Pro has a sweet animated gif wizard that makes the animation painless.
