Got this idea from another forum I'm on.
My current one is from the last episode of the original 1963 Astro Boy anime, "The Greatest Adventure on Earth". While watching the episode, I saw this shot of Atom and thought it would make a good avatar, and in my opinion, would make a good replacement for my previous avatar. I paused the episode, made a screencap, and cropped and re-sized the image to make it an avatar.
Also, Atom is my favorite character in Astro Boy (but really, who does that not hold true for on this site?), so I figured, "Why not?"
How about you guys? How did you get your current avatar and decide on using that avatar?
How did you decide/get your avatar?

It was over 6 years ago, so I vaguely remember wanting a winking Astro avatar, and this scene is the one I had in mind. Strange Wings made the first version for me, and also presented me one or two more possibilities.
I love it and can't imagine changing it!
On the other hand, I still like
but I think my own signature is getting on my nerves, and has for a while, so I should change it.

My avatar comes from what is one of the best illustrations I've seen in my life, the cover for the Metropolis Memorial boxset from Japan, which I actually am expecting to receive in the mail in two days. 

I've actually changed my avatar quite a few times. I've often had ones of Astro and Kenichi together, because I want to "subliminally" show my support for them as a pairing. >.>

Astro: "Dr. O'shay....... Do I have to do my homework?" O'shay: "yes Astro, you must do your homework" Astro: "darn it!"

The avatar I use is actually a direct result my user name; Novacain is the villain in Episode 36 from the black and white Astro Boy series.
I took three screen-shots and made the animated giffy using an Adobe program.
Same here. Right now I'm too lazy to even make a sig.
Prior to my user name change I have only altered my avatar once, as Shiyonasan pointed out here:
