    So I have this graphic that I like.



    Whats the odds I could convince someone to 1, take just a dragon head for me, 2 clean it up a bit (looks kinda bad with transparanceis on some backgrounds)

    AND make a 2nd one that has kinda a light green glow around it for mouse over type use?

    Whoever did this would be my friend.

    Here's the green one. Is this what you had in mind?



    I'm still working on smoothing the single one.

    Sorta, but it needs to still be a transparent gif, and I want JUST the head, none of the works around it.

    Photoshop is not cooperating making it transparent. I'm not much of an expert with it.

    I've tried everything and it still ends up opaque. Here's what I have so far:

    No, Thank You.

    That little request helped me learn things I never knew how to do before.

    BTW, where's the link to the site so we can see how you used them?

    Nice work stilt. I couldn't get the flip-flap-farging thing to save it as a transparency. I reduced it to 256 colors, used the "Export Transparent Image" and it either errored or said it saved it OK. Then when I opened it, the thing was opaque. I finally gave up and figured someone who can find his ass with both hands using Photoshop would have better luck

    There isn't a link yet, because I'm just not getting ready to start on the page. However when my procrastinating self is done I'll let you know.

  15. here's a couple with a real glow effect on them. one has an outline plus a glow, the other just the glow. enjoy!
    stiltman: you have to use select>feather
    capmaster: save it as a .png?





    how about making the eyes light up?



    whoops, I just noticed you said you wanted a gif. These are .pngs and will work on your website. .png allows more colors and thus you get a better glow effect. If I convert them to a gif you will just get an outline around the head. sorry to stiltman if you did feather the glow and lost the effect by saving as a gif. [/img]

    Nice....

    If I'm not mistaken, he also wanted tranperant that will work on multiple color backgrounds

    My best artwork is stick figures. I have really good ideas and design in my mind, but my hands don't cooperate. My younger brother is a good artist, but not very quick or good with the ideas. I usually came up with an idea, gave it to him and we came out with some really amazing stuff. Too bad he's still back in NY.
