For any image, for example, on photobucket,
is there a way to make images more, erm, transparent against the background? Like fade-ish?

Or maybe to make the image's periment kind of seep into the background.... XD Idk.

.....any help? x3 I've tries the erase tool... but it just makes those areas appear white >__>;;

Help would be much appreciated, actually x3

EDIT: K, here's an example. With this image, I want those white parts to be the background color.... transparent... I did the eraser tool, but it didn't work ;_;

EDITEDIT: another example c:

Name
Her full name is Emiva Sky, which is a name I recieved in a dream, or my native name. But for short and simple, we all just call her Emiva.
You can call her whatever you wish! 'Miva' is nice, but for nicknames more people seem to like 'Emmy'.

Gender
Even though this game is intended for stags only, Emiva is a doe, thank you very much. (: This is shown by her stubby little antlers, which symbolize doe antlers.

Pictogram
When I look at it, I dont really see anything, I just see Emiva's symbol. (: But when asking my family members and friends, I've heard it being a cake, a person bending over, a guy with a moustache. (I try to encourage people NOT to think of the moustache idea, it kind of bothers me)


Age
I try not to put an age on Emiva, but I guess I would say she is about 16, or maybe 17. She acts more like she's twelve, though. X3

Eye color
Originally, Emiva's eye color was meant to be brown. But after a while I started to think brown with a small tint of purple in it was nice too. But like whys, take your pick.

Set
She has always been The Gazelle Doe, with a gazelle pelt, a real-deer mask, and stubby doe antlers. In artwork, I'd much rather portray her without any antlers at all, like a normal doe. And I try leaving out the mask as well, replacing it with a normal deer head.

Friends

So, life is still weird and stressy, but I have DSL now, so like, yay and stuff. o.o;

TEF runs about the same on DSL as on dialup. Go figure. I think it takes a good graphics card more than a fast internet connection.

Don't expect me around a lot still though. x.x I still feel like I have no time and all that. Been frantic for the last several months, and still don't know why. Between gettig sick a ton this year and trying to help my boyfriend through some stuff, it's been utter madness.

((below pic: can you see why i chose to change taint's personality from happy to what it is after i chose her set on her doe day?))

I don't take many screenies nowadays, meep. And I don't like most of the ones I take, lol.

My forest is quiet, the lift of the birds taking them far away from these lands to those far to the south. Very little magic exists in my realm, my only will being to avoid those who I see, yet pray they come. What is it that pulls me to them so? Has my heart been so heavy and so void of anything but the empty echoes of its own voice that it longs for something to reply back? I do not want them, but I do, and it is a pull that leaves me alone. It is a wonder that I ever leave the darkness, for it welcomes me like an old friend. It gives me a home and lets me sleep without a disturbance.

Yet it holds me back, for I never want to leave it.

With the gift of the gods’ ivory twisted upon my face I see only sadness and pain. No matter what mask it is, I feel misery and sadness, but this mask turns it into something. It forces it all into an outlet, it bares its teeth to all. It judges no one…save for the single greatest evil this forest has ever faced, the fawn. Little blittering, mooing spotted abominations! They are like a plague. They are immune to intelligence. No amount of hissing or barely missing them with a hoof gets the point across. I could wear their skulls upon my antlers, and all they would do was leap upon me like flames in a forest fire and try to reach the top. I am NOT a plaything.

Even worse, they congregate. They are like little stupid amoebas that can change pretty colors when an adult deer tries its best to drive the evil away with magic. Oh, good, you made it purple! The color of disease! That alone is proof that they must be driven from the forest. I have already been scouring for sacrificial deer for them to follow and cling to…and the only deer worthy of hurling off a cliff is them.

Is it sad I want to kill the only thing in the forest that gives me the time of day?

Today, I ran across the most peculiar fellow. He was a handsome deer, though I couldn't tell if it was a stag or a doe. For the sake of simplicity, I'll just refer to him as a 'he'.

Well, this stag was dressed in a Day of the Dead pelt, with a skull mask and peacock feathers. He would always lay about twenty feet away from wherever there was a big group of deer. I noticed him laying there, alone, while I was romping around with some new friends. I thought maybe he was just shy. So I went over to try and engage him; but he ran away! I followed him for a bit, trying to get him to open up. After a while, though, I started to think that maybe he just wanted to be left alone.



I went and laid near a fallen log, and was surprised by the arrival of a friend of mine -- a mini doe with a beaker-like pictogram. I remember meeting her a while ago, and I was glad to have her company. She laid next to me (though not before giving me a rather silly looking mask), and we chatted a bit. Mostly about the odd weather.



Anyway, after a while, we got up and moved to a nearby mushroom circle, to continue our idle conversation. I fell asleep after a while. When I awoke, I was startled to notice that the strange stag was laying several feet away, watching us! He was laying next to a tree, all alone. I got up and went over to him, and laid down next to him. I didn't say anything, because I didn't want to spook him. He was content to lay there, for a while. It was only when the mini-doe approached with some other deer, that he got up and galloped off into the forest.

;^; i'm sorry if I am ignoring you in the forest... My computer is an antiquity (256 MB/RAM)... and itself this slower one of the normal thing... very quick I will have a new computer and I will be able to be more tranquil <=)
many times closes and causes loses me the spells that had obtained before being closed LOL
therefore I have to close the aplication each time that I obtain a new spell

Sorry Rowan but I coudn't leve it... ;_;
I hope you're not angry...
And can I keep them?
If so can you tell me how I can get them sharper (they look like they're blurred somewhat... >_>)
Eeeerrr...
I know it's impolite to ask but can you pixel Hermelien and Moonlight2 too?

And sorry again... ;-;

I don't know how I'm dealing with all of this...my boyfriend...

I can't write about it or I'll tear up again, but I'm alone, and it's hard. And when I say alone, I mean it. I don't have any friends to talk to, only he is there often. My other friends don't care, or don't show it much. I'm fortunate to have him, even if I'm not his girlfriend anymore, because if I didn't have someone to talk to for the past few nights, I wouldn't be here anymore, right now...at all.

My life has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. I'm emotionally/mentally unbalanced, I'm pmsing and a day late, so far, for a certain auntie, my friends are turning their backs on me (or, in dannii's case, their computers are, lol), the site I went to to talk about my problems (forums.teenhelp.org) hasn't worked for a week now, my boyfriend...is now the boyfriend of another, I've lost my reason to live, and my life is falling apart.

I've cried for the last week and I'm pathetic...

And I just want to be heard...

And being "just friends" with an ex is as difficult as it sounds.

*smashes head against computer screen* WHY. WHY DOES LIFE HATE ME.

>_<;;;

Blah...

No one else was listening...so...pathetic me is posting this here...
