I hope the transparency worked, otherwise I'm gonna have to re-update and make a background(uggggggggh).
Also I've tried out a new brush from photoshop's brush pallete. I think it's the sponge brush not quite sure. All I know is that I'm ecstatic about how it turned out!

Artwork by me

original concept by nintendo(c)

I FIXED THE PROBLEM!!!!
thankyou and for all of your help

Well first what you do is scan your picture into photoshop. Then once there outline your artwork using the pen tool(if you've already outlined your image prior to scanning you can skip this step if you want), then adjust the brightness and contrast on your image to get rid of most if not all gray areas of your image.Once you've done that duplicate said layer and go to your channels panel and you see the dotted circle at the bottom?Well click on that and you'll see moving lines surrounding you lineart, hit the delete key and you won't see much change but if you look in your layers you'll see that the duplicate layer is now transparent except for the lineart.On that same layer change the blending mode to Multiply.It's not necessary but the reason I added this in is because when you color underneath that layer ugly grey outlines will appear on the lineart that make it look just ugh, so using multiply get's rid of all that.And that's it pretty much I know that it's a lot of steps but trust me once you get used to it it'll be almost second nature to you.
If you run into any problems doing this than feel free to ask

This looks pretty good. >.>
The new brush, whatever it may be, did have a good effect.

Its was a black background, with some white areas.
No problem
(I showed it to my best friend too, she thought it was great)

I don't know why it's like that?

The picture would've looked so much better if transparent.
Do you think you can help me out?

Hmm, okay.
Did you merge all your layers together on the photoshop copy of this yet? Because the easiest bit is if you haven't you just delete off the background, and color in all the white areas white, ect. ect., to make sure you didn't miss anything.
If not, I think there is another way to save as a transparent .png file.

when merging must all the layers be unlocked or it doesn't matter?

Amethyst-Chan In reply to calicobird [2010-02-16 02:04:17 +0000 UTC]

It doesnt matter if you merge them all.
Uh, if theyre all merged I think thats how you do a transparent PNg.
But, do you have a seperate layer for your background, not attacked to any other coloring?
