Due to the fluff I use in my Necro team ive got a bunch of back roomers. So i figured Id edit some pics.
These are my first attempts using GIMP so be gentle.

Forgotten Realms style "Drow" elf Lineman.
Not 100% finished or really set to what i wanted but the best I could reach with regards to my current skill with Gimp... ( only started fooling around last night )
Also noticed the hair looks more like a Santa bobble hat ! LOL

Dunno if anyone can help me out but I cant seem to get certain colors even using the aquire color function on GIMP.
I keep trying to get a deep green or Dark Purple and get given a grey or sludge color.

Also anyone knowing how to "re-apply" the back ground once its been edited would be doing me a huge favor.
Ive already accidently edited a pic so it had a few abnormalities clinging to the edges or even worse its set on a white back ground when copy pasted.

The color problems seems to be that your palette is 256 colors (for gif) or less, and it is full. Try to increase color depth to 16 million or so. I haven't used GIMP, but I had similar problems in Paint Shop Pro until I figured it out.

You can change your apo pic to animated gif where all of those assistant coaches and staff is changing.

I think.

Yeah, Kyyberi is right - if you've editted your gif, you've probably filled the palette, or (I do this sometimes) used the same colour as an actual colour, and a transparent background. That's one of the reasons 'transparent' colours are hideous magenta or something, when you view them.

Fixing depends on your application. What I usually do is reduce the colours in an image (freeing up a section of the palette), and then apply a new colour for the transparency, and set that colour AS the transparent colour.

Cool though, I like 'em.
