Your avatar can be a cartoon or a photo. You can also use your Facebook or Twitter avatar. For an animated gif you should make it your Twitter avatar first.

STEP 1.
In order for your avatar to appear you must make your Yahoo Profile visible. That is done here:
http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/privacy/
There is no reason to hide your profile. Nothing appears unless you enter it and turn a switch on. The name can be anything you want.

STEP 2.
To create a cartoon avatar first go to http://avatars.yahoo.com and create one.

STEP 3.
Click on the default avatar in Y!A and select "edit my preferences".
[shortcut: http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about ]
Click on "update photo or avatar" and a small window will open.
You can select the cartoon, Facebook, or Twitter avatar or upload your own photo.
After clicking "use selected photo" be sure to click "submit".
The same photo will appear in the Yahoo Profile.

Click on your name, then you'll be taken to your profile page. On the right hand side it says edit my info. Click on that and it takes you to a page that let's you edit a lot of stuff including your avatar.
