I'd like to say this is what I first pm'd Xephra.. and I typed it fast so I'm sorry if you can't understand it so ask for support on stuff you don't get here.
Open up an image, 72x64 or my avatar size. Draw a border of how you want your image to look - Rounded corners, perfect rectangle, flat corners etc. Decide a color for your image, select inside the border, create a new layer, and fill it. Try something like #304F32. Now using your own unique style, make pixel borders by using a lighter color than your base color ( your base color: 304F32) so try #47754A and that will be the highlight. #304F32 can be the main border color. And #1F3220 can be the dark color. Inside your borders add the dark color (1F3220). You should have something like this: Just work from there. If you zoom in at 1000 or 1600 you'll see where the dark, main, and light colors are.
Once you have your base find an image of a character sprite; try a google search, then place it on your image. Add some text and you should end up with something like mine. Note - My design of my avatar is not fully original. I first saw a megaman image that looked like this, so I decided to make a Naruto one.

Yup, that's the one. I think my image kind of counts as a rip, look at the bottom right corner. I made mine back when I started gfx..
I need a new avatar.

Nah, I like your avy, and I wouldn't fully count it as ripping.. I wouldn't think so anyways..

Nice Naruto.
Although, I prefer (or at least up to now) to do the pixel things like this through trial and error.

Can you try making it more descriptive?'Cause I just got Photoshop yesterday and I don't know where anything is.
