The shockwave one is easily the best. You managed to get the pos eperfect. Well done! :thumb

Heh, thanks. I had his left heel attached to the table with blu-tac and the left side of the toy was leaning on a roll of toilet paper to stop it from falling over. :P

 

I downloaded a program called GIMP... it's freeware and supposedly similar to Photoshop. Meh... maybe I'm not using it right. My white walls turn up light grey in photos -- when I first tried to crop the background, the program also cropped all light grey out of the image, so it also removed a lot of colour from Prime's shoulder cannons, tummy grill, waist and thighs. So I grabbed a blue sheet and used it as a background that would GIMP could crop out without cutting into Prime's colours (see attached image). The problem was that it also took out some of the blue from Prime's head and lower legs, but it wasn't as bad as the grey that it was previously removing, so I just fixed it up... in MS Paint!! Yeah... I went back to just using Paint again... I think I need someone to show me how to use GIMP or other such programs... I think what I need to learn how to do is:

(1) Crop properly. Is there a way for the program to better discriminate between the foreground and background and separate the two images?

(2) Layers!! I've seen other people do it... it would be really useful if I could learn how to super-impose images on top of each others as layers. I mucked around with GIMP's layers options for a while and soon realised that I had nfi what I was doing.

 

Gah!!

 

So yeah... here's yet another cover made mostly by MS Paint.
