Providing details of what your idea is would be a lot more helpful in letting us know if we can do something for you.

Whats the idea... or is it top secret?? haha

All it takes is an idea, a bit of time, and the right software.
Id recomend you pick up a copy of adobe photoshop, read some tutorials, and try to piece something together yourself. It really isnt that hard to modify existing images/etc,
the tricky part is if you want to do an all new design by yourself.

What are you thinking?

Threw this together real quick.

I left it this size so you can see the detail, then resize accordingly for avatar use.

Thanks. I'll take that as a compliment. Wonder how well it would look as a vinyl sticker. Have to try that out.

Yeah, you load the material (one color) the machine cuts it out. You then pull off all the stuff you dont use, thats not part of the design. Put the masking tape stuff on top, then stick it on something. Its like the Racgin Beat stickers, or the Mazdatrix stickers, they are that style. I'll do a few, and snap pics and post them.
