OK - SO HOW THE HECK DO YOU DRAW YOUR OWN ANIMATED AVATAR?

I drew the animation frame by frame in photoshop then converted it to animated gif in image-ready. Resized and optimized it (max resolution for an avatar is 100x100) then uploaded it thru here.
As far as the creation of the actual animation, there were probably easier ways of doing it. I drew his face, keeping all parts on their own layers- nose, mouth, eyes, etc...and animated them all independantly.

Next I'm working on a bad-a** one of a Pro5 based on DV footage of my car- as soon as the weather is nicer. Supposed to snow/sleet/rain tonight in Jersey.
