How to make custom markers on Google Maps?

Question

Google

Hello. Is it possible to somehow style markers on google maps? I need to make markers with avatars and a frame, like in the picture. (picture drawn in photoshop)

I searched through all the maps api, and all I found is the icon property in google.maps.Marker () to which you can simply pass the image and size, and it will just be a square small avatar on the map, but I need to apply to her custom styles. I'm already desperate and the last hope is to ask here, maybe you can tell me. In Yandex maps, in my opinion, there is such an opportunity, but I don’t want to go there.
