Default Avatars?

I've noticed that an increasing number of you guys (e.g. Arena993, Bogwan)are using really nice colour drawings of your cars as your avatar.

How do you produce them?

TIA,

Steve.

Silver would be impossible to do in MS paint (unless someone knows how to creat metalic colors).
I could certainly do it, but it'd turn out gray.

Nice car, Chris!
