When mcborzu releases the skin I'll update my pack with these and a few other images I've done since.
Currently they can still be found with the others on photobucket.
We need to create standards, like 400x155 bottom aligned, so we can work with them. I would like to use them as well but a lot of people wont use them if they require work (people are lazy)

That's odd since one of the links I got images from "in this thread" had images 715x150.

Isolated incident from what I can tell.

@hikaricore and/or mcborzu what programs are u guys using to make your clear art?
- mcborzu - 2010-04-07 21:10
Photoshop for me....Then I test on a black/white background and some random color like a pink background. Sometimes you notice a little error on a lime green/pink background that doesn't show on white/black.
I assume those free versions like GIMP work, mostly it's just magic wand, a little blur and a slight drop shadow. Sometimes I tediously use the pen tool on the hard clearARTS/logos.

Gimp through and through. Many times I can wand select but others I have to hand trace.
I had several (anime specifically) that were an outright pain in the ass to do and a few more I remade from scratch using a good image as a template. >.>

Thanks guys. The two of you have already done 99% of the work for me but im sure i'll have to get my hands dirty and do a couple myself sooner or later.
