where do avatars come from?

people on photobucket have tons of avatars or icons with sayings on them and pictures from tv shows and movies and they can be put on myspace pages or xanga, but who makes them and where do they come from originally?
is there one site where most people get them from? most of them look professional in layout, and then you can tell which ones are more amateurish.

  1. Most avatars are made up by people with a lot of free time and photoshop. Just use a search engine to find a image you like and use a image editing program to add a witty saying or something. To make a animated avatar (call a .gif) you can try finding a program that makes them or find them online. Try gif.com they have a few of them.
