OK, Here's my status. I have figured out how to easily change the color. What I need to know is how to use the graphics in your pack (Li War). When I past them they show up with a white background. How do i make it transparent?

If you're creating a new layer before hand, make sure transparency is selected instead of foreground color, background color, or white. I usually just drag the layer from one file to the next. and that seems to keep the transparent background for me

If that's not it, I'm not sure, it might be something in preferences. PM Da_Man

quite frankly, I don't know either. I spent something like an hour and a half trying to figure it out, and it got me nowhere. I'll give you a heads up when I figure it out.

Oh, okay the name threw me off also, I thought it was someone who used to be with Darth Hyukan or something, then I saw the location, and I knew who it was :lol:

:lol: That works. And yes, i'm pretty sure it's the moder's/admin's that are doing it.

Also(to LordOfTheFish) The wepons are prety simple. At least, they are to me.

If yoru trying to get a wepon thats on another commando, but it's not in the basic Stockshell, I just crop around the wep', and the hit Ctrl + c to copy, than click (I think-) "Edit" and then click "Paste-Into"(or is it "onto"...).

Then line it up(like if you have part of his arm/leg in the cropped pic) and then erase where-ever you need to(like if the arm in the crop image is a differant color than the main image). Other than that, you just Copy than Paste Onto/into. You'll get the hang of it.
Than for coloring stuff, just merge the layers. It makes it easier.([again] For me anyways)

Your doin' well, vode. It's looking good. :D

Added a shield. But I still don't know how to make it transparent.

Will the processes you just mentioned work for adding a cape as well?


[edit] Another Screen shot. Need to make shield transparent. Any clues?

EDIT: that method should work for the cape too. (Lt Wolf's)
I usually drag from one file to the next

Ok let me just get this in my head.


Make a new file and paste the cape into it.
Do those steps then drag it over to the other file?
 General LiWar
07-29-2008, 3:47 PM

you should be able to just open the cape in my package and drag it onto the other file.

It really isn't that good, but I think it's sufficient for a first try.


And to LiWar: I don't care what happens to my pics as long as it's done by a commando artist.





Here is a little project I'm working on. I changed the purple to blue and I'll add some other stuff later. btw it's a clone assassin.

Btw, I finaly got an idea for the EOD model. Sorry I didn't do anything with it earlier-
