How did you guys acquire your avatars and signatures? Did you make them yourselves or did you find them via Google? I make mine using MS Paint or Gimp. I usually use screen captures I make from BluRay Discs.

I made all my graphics, but obviously I cut the characters out of images from Google.

Via google most often. An individual or two have made me a sig or avatar in the past.

I found all my T's ready from a photo website (the last one just came up in a google search). I just tweak them in GIMP and Paint.NET.

I just make my sigs/avatars in paint or gimp. Mine aren't too complex so they only take a few minutes to make.

It must be pretty tedious to cut the characters out while keeping the edges smooth. It looks really good. Did you use Photoshop?

Woo, go Gimp. Don't use it for sigs though, as you can probably tell.

I made this elegant RONCOTM signature all by myself. This dazzling display can be yours for only three easy payments of $39.99! But wait, there's more!TM Call in the next 20 minutes and I'll throw in a set of four steak knives and a RONCOTM Veg-O-MaticTM absolutely free! Just pay separate shipping and handling :P

Yes, I make mine, but I haven't changed my avatar in years. I stopped playing WoW before BC, but I just didn't feel like changing it, I was too used to that dancing Tauren, lol.

Why not?

Prefer paint for simple stuff and I've never really been into learning how to make proper artistic sigs like 2ndwonder's. I mainly just use it for textures and anything where I need layers. I have been using it more lately though since they messed up Paint with Windows 7.

I haven't been using this exact avatar for that long. However, it's been a while since I've used an avatar which features a character other than Dr. Manhattan.

My signatures tend to be stills from films I like. I just crop them. I've had the same avatar since I registered. Again, it's something I just found and cropped.

If precise and elegant cropping counts as 'making your own', then yes.
