For the buddy icon you just need an image of some kind, file extensions of png,
jpg, gif are all good.  Ideally you want the file to be small so you might want
to either edit a photo to be small and use that or find an icon from the
Internet and use that.

Do you have an image in mind?

Pidgin does support smileys, also MSN allows you to send custom smileys and
version 2.5.2 (when it is released) will allow custom smileys over XMPP (Jabber)
and Gtalk.
