Imageboards (whatever-boorus) and pixiv are my main sources.

Google Image Search and various webcomics I read for the most part.

I got most (read: nearly all) of mine from Danbooru.

Google Image Search, plus some DVD screenshots and comic/book scans.

I've had this Cow Pi image on my hard drive for ages. I probably pulled it off the internet at some point because I know I didn't make it myself, but honestly, I don't actually know where I got it.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

All sorts of places. Online (places like Deviant Art, usually), caps from DVDs or other recordings...

You can also use the print screen button for stuff on You Tube and crop it.

I get a lot of my icons from Live Journal. Communities like this usually have some pretty good stuff.

Lots of places from all over the Internet. I greatly prefer obscure things (avatar-related forum games are more fun when the other people don't know who the person in your avatar is).

I got mine from a NASA image that made the news briefly - I downloaded it and shrunk it about fifty times. I'm indifferent to avatar hopping so I haven't bothered to look for any others.

Mine is custom-made: it comes from a page of one of my Tokimemo Artbooks, that I scanned, then edited to my liking with an image software.

I periodically do an image search for black cats and see what I can see.

I take a snap from something I like and trim it to my needs. This was actually the Brawl trophy with the base taken off.

Webcomics (or rather, one specific webcomic) and fanart. I use GIMP to crop and shrink the pictures.

I didn't write any of that.

My first avatar was an edit of the Teen Titans tower, as a pun on my name. The second was a monopoly piece I found using Google, as all my avatars on all sites were Monopoly pieces. But now I realized how much time I'm spending on Home Stuck, so I took cool picture of a character I like and who is somewhat like me. Even if she is a girl.
