I've seen a few on here, but I have no idea what to search for other than "custom transformers avatars" but that comes to no avail on Google. Halp?

I'm talking about these sorts of avatars I've seen.

 

I don't know about the first two, but that last one is one of nkelsch's icons.

 

If you click on the User CP link up top, and then click on Edit Avatar, you can actually find that we have a large amount of Transformers Icons available for use.

 

Yeah, but I actually want to make one, one with a noticeable alt form of a bear.

 

for pixel art, believe it or not, the best program I found is MSpaint, and then copy it into a real graphics program for saving it as a gif.

Do you already have a design in mind?

 

the first two designs are mine. I make custom Transformers avatars and I have a thread in the Fan Art section here on this site, search for it and you'll find it. I am accepting requests too for different characters.

 

those are made by maximus prime, but i have a story
i requested an avatar in febuary and i still havn't got it yet. maximus prime is unreliable, so make your own.

 

how do you go about making them though.

 

any art program. like microsoft paint. you draw them.
