Materials ?
You can't just walk into a forum and start acting like a famous guy you need to have a image where people can refer to like, when they see your avatar in a instructable or on a topic, They say oh, that's so and so's topic etc. The avatar really suites a persons personality and if that person is well respected and good he's avatar will have good things and words. If you are a spammer or a evil guy, your avatar will have porn images, swears, gang affiliations and etc.

But whatever you want you need that right materials to do so. You can basically use any graphic editing program out there. If you use windows the there is paint, if you have adobe photoshop that's even better. You can download a huge list of graphic editing programs, google is your friend.

That's all you need to get started with your avatar creation.
