Kay I can’t figure out if there is anywhere or anyone who does this but is there a place on the Shard where I can get a profile picture? I’m very much NOT a graphics person so if there is someone who is good at it and wants to help me please reach out

Is there a specific type of profile picture you have in mind? There may be people willing to draw one, but it may depend on the specifics of what you're asking for.
You could also browse galleries on the Coppermind if you're looking for a Sanderson-specific pfp

Have you considered choosing one of the Terris Alphabet metals?

Images should have their artist attributed, so be sure to request permission if needed for fan art.
(An admin like Taln can verify, But I think snips of official art are authorized for use on this site)

Generally speaking, most artists likely don't mind, though it never hurts to ask. (and definitely good to credit them)
I'm not sure if there's an official policy on it, but yes I believe you can use official art as your pfp. (as they're all publicly available on Brandon's Website)
Though just to clarify, I'm not an Admin, just a regular 'ol moderator

On top of the Terris Alphabet, another Terris-related thing is their clothes, with the colorful V patterns. From Coppermind:

Spoiler

Clothing

The tinningdar is a common robe worn by the Terris people distinguished by a colorful overlapping V pattern down the front. This pattern is often embroidered. The tinningdar is often worn alongside a belt, and has long sleeves. New versions of the Tinningdar, created around the year 342 PC, are more daring. During the Final Empire, these were often known as "steward's robes." During this era, the colors of the robe represent the colors of the House the steward serves. The Tinningdar is only worn by adults and old youths, younger children tend to wear simple white smocks.

Other Terris forms of clothing are also known to be colorful, and often incorporate the traditional V-pattern. It is also common to wear colorful caps.

Khlenni fashion became popular in late Classical Scadrial, brought into Old Terris via trade between the two nations.

Since the Terris alphabet naturally has a lot of V-like patterns, you could probably combine these somehow?
Simple mockup designs I made because I was bored:

Spoiler

Cadmium on the left, steel on the right.
Cadmium cuz I think it's the coolest letter, Steel since it's more iconic.
 

You could even try stacking and combining different letters to spell something. For example, bronze-tin-brass-tin-duralumin for "TERIS". Not sure on how the vowel distinction works for the Terris alphabet though.

You could ask in the Creator’s Corner on the Shard; plenty of folks there enjoy making icons and banners for fun. I’ve also used face2social.com before to double‑check that nobody was misusing my old profile pictures, so once you get a design you like, it’s handy for peace of mind. If you just want something simple, people there can whip one up pretty quickly.

Please do not Necro old posts, it is against policy (except specific exclusions). Also, please read passed post one - this was resolved two weeks after the post you quoted.
