Thanks Kacey. I really did a search on this before i posted but i guess my search wasnt good enough.

I’m gonna go sulk now. :roll_eyes:

It really is an amazing drawing isn’t it! Thanks Greg!

To get it like it is I used The GIMP (free image editing program). As per Daniel’s (daino’s) advice I added another ‘Alpha Layer’ in the Layers window thing and then removed the background with the little magic wand tool and saved it as a .gif. The important thing I discovered was to resize the image before removing the background. That way the boundaries of the image wiill be slightly ‘furry’ rather than sharp and horrible.
