Someone needs to take pitty on my also. I think the ones that are in animation are called avatars. The still one's icons. Anyway that's my way of thinking. I could be all wrong. Does anyone know for sure?
I have no idea where the word avatar came from. What the dictionary says and what they call avatars on the forum just doesn't jive. I've always thought they should be called what they are "Animation." My husband who is the true artist in the family said: What the hell is an avatar?
I think I'm going to ask around and see if I can get some answers to are questions.
