I've been in SL for a while now, and I've had quite a few Avatars, but two of them stand out the most... The very first one I ever got, and the latest one ( seen in the following submissions ).

This avatar was done by  obsidian ... one of the most friendly, wonderful and skilled people in SL that I've met to date. She worked this one over two years ago now :O and it's still as good as many of the more recent AVs on the market.

We worked for quite some time together, with her building the base, then with me offering ideas of how to get it closer to what I was looking for. Even afterwards, she offered constant upgrades and improvements for free, since I was such a social monster when I first joined that I showed everyone, and pimped her in game business constantly, helping her to get well established. ...An' I'm still doin' it. ^^ Thanks again for all your hard work, Obbie. ^^

...Oh, and before I forget, that outfit I have on is from Bare Rose, and the scene in the background is from the top of my three story mansion, which I built myself. ^_^
