Icon/Avatar Resource

I thought it would be a good idea to create a collaborative thread on AO of some of the icon sites out there, since people are often looking for new avatars and such, I think it would be helpful and far easier to have one big chunk of information available to all.

As you will tell by going through the links, most of these are designed for LiveJournal and DeadJournal, but it is also where I find some of the most creative. The default size is 100x100, so you'll have to resize them, but there's a plethora of LJ dedicated avatar sites, and these are only a few. I threw in a couple of EZBoard avatar pages for smaller icon sizes, it's up to you whether you use them or not.

I'm hosting the links as part of the web development resources on my development site, Digital Deviation...

If you have any personal links, feel free to share them by submitting them there and get a larger resource going.

The links are located under: Graphics/Layouts >> Avatars/Icons

And here is the URL:

Very good idea i think!

that is good site & has lots of icons to choose from try

Thanks Greek,. that was a fairly usefull link...
I browsed on over there, and i saw a few that i like, but i decided against using anyof them as i've kinda grown attached the Avator i got at the moment, as it is what i basically do all day, run around in circles.

Cheers

Avatars Inc. is no more.
There will not be an easy way to browse Internet content for 50x50pixel avatars anymore, finding what is just right for you will once again be up to your self. It is a shame but the only alternative would be vastly inferior to what you could do your selves without trouble and also rather easy.

Guess that the above link that you guys have posted is now pretty much well useless .. kinda sucks I think ...

I had sent a big gallery of avatars to JP a year ago i don't know even if he uploaded them.

my opinion:
Nice thread as, I'm tired of all things that talk about avatars. I don't talk about this thread as it is sticky but for some threads that came up about once a week and talk about avatars.

Among other stuff this site has a pretty good database of avatars check it out :

i found some darn good avatars in a couple of sites mentioned but i cant seem to figure out how to change my avatar to a custom one. what do i do? do i have to be a senior member to have permission to do that - but if thats the case how come sweetintrigue being a newbie can?

These small images are called Avatars. They are displayed below your username on all posts that you make. There are two kinds of avatars: those provided by AntiOnline and those that you upload yourself. To start off, you may select an avatar provided by AntiOnline that best describes your personality. After you make 10 posts or more custom avatars become enabled for you, which allows you to upload an avatar image from your computer. For more information about avatars,

I was wondering how you get custom ones myself. Thanks for saving me a search through FAQ etc. (Just got lucky that I stumbled in here first I guess) :D

The planetsmilies web site is pretty good! where can I find a avatar that I can animate myself? or can I find this information on this web site?
