Honestly, I would use a program to custom make CGI models of my agents, but Star Trek Online is much faster, and almost as good. Seriously, it has the best character creator I've seen. A screen shot, a little trip through Gimp, and I have a new agent picture. I've done this professionally before, and I still do a little, but Star Trek Online would work really well if you don't have experience with things like Makehuman, Blender, or even Maya. I may discover a better method in time, and once figure it out, I'll share it.

Of course, if you want a 2d picture, Gimp is the best free option. If you have it or want it, either Coreldraw or Photoshop will work. If you are inexperienced, it is actually surprisingly easy with the latter two, to alter a photograph of a consenting friend, or yourself. It won't be perfect if you're really new, but you can go back later and make improvements once you're more experienced. Hope this wasn't too long winded or rambley.
