I created mine by hand, it was pretty easy actually. GIMP is very powerful.

I'd say it was surrendered under threat, judging by what it is currently :p

well i dont really have a team to cheer for in europe, im of Irish Italian Swedish and Polish descent so theres no national team to cheer for, and as far as arsenal theres very very few matches on tv, the only ones that get any air time are man u, chelsea and arsenal ((liverpool sometimes but not nearly as much)) man u never struck my fancy, my brother in law is a liverpool fan so i cant root for them, i really really dont like chelsea, so i landed with the gunners

got to pick your battle in a country that thinks of soccer as fruity foreigners playing footsie

just write ubuntu or linux in google, and you get the results, so directly click on the picture and save it as GIF . then upload it

Not a bad selection. I'll admit- I have a few cool avatars (http://www.make-a-cartoon.com) from this site, and I am totally addicted! (see the name lol).

I used to have a doctor who one, now a battlestar galactica one.

How do I come up with it?

Pretty obvious.

It might be time for a new one though.

edit: yes, updated my avatar. It a picture from one of my favorite dj's, dj korsakoff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjvJAczXm84&feature=related).

Well, I made mine using The GIMP!

Edit:
I found our little friend Tux and looked for a hat, resize it and put it on Tux' head. Very easy with The GIMP!!!

Drew mine with pencil, then fine tipped marker.

I usually suck at drawing, but it turned out as a good self-portrait cartoon.

I made mine with GIMP. It's an abstract self-portrait, in case you're wondering ;)

Thanks for the link, mate. The tux's look awesome. The only problem is that white background behind the tux.
