Oh. Then I'm pretty sure you're doing everything I told you on the background layer instead of the duplicate layer. :/ I dunno, you might not be, but that's what it seems like.
ALTHOUGH. It could be that your version of gimp doesn't work the same way as mine. :I Probably.

Hum. :/ There is one thing you can do, but it's not as efficient. Do steps 1-6 from my other comment. Then click on the wand tool (above the eyedropper tool), and click on the white parts of the picture. (You can have multiple part selected if you hold shift while you click.) Pretty much, you're selecting all the white parts, then erase them with the eraser tool. :/ It doesn't turn out as good, though, and it's a very long and tedious process.
Can you sreencap what modes there are for the brush tool? (sorry! >_<;;;;)
1) copy picture
2) Open gimp and a new file
3) Select edit>paste as>new image. (The line art should appear on a new canvas.) (example)
4) Close empty canvas
5) Right click on pasted layer and click duplicate layer. (example)
6) Delete the pasted layer. (NOT THE COPY.) The reason I did this is because there are certain things you can't do on the background that you can do on normal layers.
7) Click the arrow on the color pallete so white is on top and black is on the bottom. (example)
8) Set paintbrush to color erase. (I also reccomend changing the brush scale to 10.00) (example)
9) Brush away! ;D (example)
After you brush away all the white, the line art should work like normal. Then you can start coloring! ^^
Okay, I thought so, but witch copy of the duplication do you use it on. OTL and the color in the top box should be white? wow, it really doesn't want to work for me. OTL
The picture is great ,I love the details of the line-art and all the life it haves .I would be very happy to color it,but you probably will have to wait for m finals to be over.Yeah I don't know what I will do!!
I really can't wait to see this picture colored by someone.The bite mood is also at the right time!
Yes
I think I've gotten a bit more patient cuz of it lol
Aha mine are always too long cuz I always say alot about what I like xD
Haha same
They make me happy xDDD
xD I'm pretty impatient too, but you develope patience from drawing. :3 In my opinion... >_>;
xD
Same here! Except mine are always so short, because I don't know how to explain my liking for whatever I'm commenting on. xD;;
I personally enjoy reading long comments. :D Except when I'm in a hurry. (Which I'm usually not.)
It's okaaay~~ I understand. >3<
Your welcome (:
I'm VERY impatient. lol
Your welcome :D And again and again haha
Yeah I know I love getting them but I always feel a bit weird giving them cuz they're always waaaay longer than other people's lol
Thanks, but I mind me not commenting. I feel bad lol
Like I'm neglecting your pics and stuff.
Thanks!!
Sure! ^^ Oh, and here's how to change the white to transparent, if you're using Gimp:
1) duplicate the layer
2) Select paintbrush tool and change mode to color erase
3) press the arrow above the color pallate thingie
4) Color the paintbrush over the picture
...And I think it'll work. xD; If it doesn't, tell me.
XDD Ahahaha. Yeah.
Thanks! ^^ I dunno... I don't think there's THAT many frills. xD;
Thank you again! And thanks again again. xD
A super long comment is great. :DDDD I don't mind you not commenting. x3
Wow when I saw this the first thought that came to mind was 'Finger Lickin Good' lol sorry
But this looks really awesome
I love the pose and his EXPRESSION. Its actually pretty hot
And his eyes look great too. They just grab my attention haha
Amazing job with all those frills. I would never have the patience to neither draw them in nor use so many. Nice job man
His whole outfit design looks cool too.
I love that sword. And the way you wrote his name
Awesome jobbbbbb~ :D
(I feel like I haven't commented in a while. Does an overly long comment make up for that? xD *shot* I'll try to comment more on the weekend)
