ive have pretty much every bb mini painted (though comredaes need to be done!) but if it helps, i can take photos of my minis face on and side views to anyone who might find it useful? i tried copying the latest orcs, lineman above, it bears a slight resebblance, but i cant get the sense of scale right...

Or you could use something like Gimp to do it, I'm quite sure you can do the transparent thing (and other image stuff) in it. It is not ment for drawing tho. But I think you can retouch your icons with it, if you know how to.

I also use Gimp for making icons.
Transparency and animation are no problem with it.
And its free.
