You could choose either a cartoon or a photo avatar
Cartoon.
The Yahoo avatars page is no longer available but you can do this:
Create a personal avatar below save it to you pc then upload it as below.

http://www.free-avatars.com/
Photo and avatar upload
Click on your current avatar then click edit my preferences to the right of your default avatar click update photo. Follow the prompts to upload a photo or saved avatar from your pc.

It won't let you at the present. I tried uploading a photo I took and wouldn't let me. I tried a free stock online and the same.
YA is getting suckier.

You can use a photo avatar or a cartoon avatar from another site, and if you have a Facebook or Twitter account, you can also use those avatars.
Go to: http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/privacy/ - make sure your profile isn't hidden, because if it is, your avatar won't show.
In case you want to use a Facebook or Twitter avatar, you need to link those accounts in the Profile options.
http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/linked-accounts/
You have several options in case you want a photo avatar:
a) go to your Yahoo! Answers settings at http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about , click "Update photo or avatar",
b) go to your Yahoo! Profile at http://profile.yahoo.com/ , click on the current avatar.
Now upload a picture or choose one of the pics you've uploaded previously.
Note 1: if you are on a mobile, you need to switch to desktop mode first in order for this to work.
Note 2: Yahoo no longer supports the creation of their cartoon avatars - it may still work for a few users, but the support was said to stop April 1. And no, this is no joke, the matter was announced quite a while ago...
