I make a lot of avatars for forums and figured I’d share them here. I try to keep them to 150×150 and less than 50kb, though some had to be much bigger.

This one’s quite large because of the high number of frames and stuff changing.
Update: This post got me looking through my old avatars, most of which are smaller than today’s default and got me off my butt to update my favorite avatar, “Hobbes Club”. Here’s the original, in the old 80×80 format. The font isn’t right because a more comic-book font isn’t legible at this small size.
Additionally, Watterson’s word balloons have much more white space and are far less perfectly shaped than this. I took the time to get this all right in the new 150×150 icon, with a better font (though I couldn’t find a recreation of Watterson’s own) a proper word balloon and even a more ragged outline.
And another bonus, here’s House, bored.
Someone else did the original creation, but it had entire-frame animation and needless extra frames. I can’t find the original file, but it was in the multi-megabytes, probably around 4MB. I got it down to 171k!
