My Cartoon Self

[Kwing]

I need to draw a cartoon version of myself for an RPG, but I have no idea where to start or what styles I should use. I know my way around Flash and can do gradients, filters, soften fill edges, etc. but I'm not really an artist, just a programmer. So any help? You can recommend any styles or just what would be easy, any suggestion is better than my current state of cluelessness. I've been thinking about maybe making it some basic style, like Madness or :the game: or something simple like that, but again, I really don't know if I should or where to start.

Do something really basic, and really fbf. If it kinda looks like it's moving, then people will think it really is.

It's not the animation that's bugging me, it's the graphics. I don't know how to draw! People say that you need practice, but there have got to be some more tips (like facial proportions and ratios, etc.)

I'm sure I've seen art tuts on the portal too, but the search isn't working for me atm
