While I was unemployed last year I had a lot of free time, and always wanted a drawn in some capacity version of myself as an avatar.
I have basically zero artistic skills (and i do mean ZERO), so it took me 2 - 3 months of on and off messing around to make.
It's supposed to be me wearing 3D glasses and looking off to the side in a confused/annoyed with some bullshit fashion.
It's kind of a long story as to how I made it with no artistic ability, but the TL;DR is I used a photo of someone else's bead art as a base, made a sprite out of that, and then modified the hell out of it.
The only thing that's "original" anymore is the placement of a couple of pixels in the jawline.
I wanted to add a Santa hat this past Christmas, but I didn't have the time.
Maybe I'll start that now so it's ready in 11 months.
