I have a subscription to an app called Zedge. It's like $5 a year. It is chock full of phone wallpaper, ringtones and much more, including video wallpapers ( for your phone) For avatars here I typically find an element Within a wallpaper to use as my avatar. I like to change it up a lot. Like someone else said by the time QVC compresses the heck out of the photo/image the quality is pretty poor.

My avatar is drawing of Queen Amadala from Star Wars. I collected items of her for awhile. My daughter is a professional cartoon artist and did the avatar for me.

 

I get a kick out of it.

 

I also enjoy looking at all the creative choices in this forum!

@Still Raining  May I ask you what is troublesome with moving avatars? My question is sincere.



Thanks for asking.

 

There have been threads on this topic and it seems that some of us just can't do movements.  No idea why, maybe our eyes and brains are wired poorly.  If I happen upon one, I have to cover it.  

Since we are not able to "ignore", I have learned to avoid OPs and posters.  Which is a pity.

 

I do notice that you have a new avatar and hope it is all OK with you.  🐢

Thank you for the explanation, yes I have changed mine so that it is not moving any longer.  I thought it was cute but if it causes distress to others it is not THAT cute.

It is me!  I didn't realize that some people are bothered when the avatars move so I looked for a new one on the internet and that this was a cute turtle.
