And this is why punctation is important. Because if you said Matt; a white color, there wouldn't be a problem right now.
The capital "A" is what really threw me off. it looks like an initial.
The thrill in playing a game does not come from our chances of winning. It is the weight and pressure of losing that fuels our fascination. It is why people challenge, why they gamble and why they compete. The adrenaline that comes from defying defeat is what motivates us.

Anyways, gengar ruined what I was trying to do by looking foreward instead of left like everyone else, so I can't even reverse the image. >:(

Both.
I try to find png's instead of doing it myself for speed purposes, since I don't feel like spending 10-30 minutes for each pokemon.

If you want to give your pictures a little bit more style, then here are sme tips that helped med alot :)

1. Brushes -

http://www.brusheezy.com/Brushes?f=&sort=popular

Here you can download different brushes for Photoshop. an example of use are the cracks in my sigg with mudkips. The cracks are simple black brushes. Theese brushes are fun to play around with and they can make your pictures look alot better.

2. Blending Options -

Effects.
Right click on of your layers and click the Blending options selection. Here you can find alot of different effects to apply to your layers. example glowing effects.

Colors.
If you have a picture, and you create a new layer on top of this picture, you can do alot with the colors. Create a new layer, right click it, blending options and select the blending mode "Soft light" Now go ahead use a normal brush to colorize your photo, this will give it a nice smooth look and you can customize your colors totally as you would like. you can use darker color t omake it darker and lighter color to make it brighet, whatever you'd like.

EDIT:

Halftone Patterns. This is a very cool effect, which i use alot. (havent used them in my pokemon siggs)
Create new layer, use a normal brush to put out some color on your layer, If you want it to be transparent, opacity at about 50% or sumthn, you can change this is the layer menu. You can also go ahead and roght click the layer, blending options and select the blending mode soft light. This wil give it a nice touch :)


Hope this helps you to become an even better artworker! :D
Good luck :)

Some of this I knew (glow effects, opacity settings cutsom colorization), some of it I did not (New brushes, halftomes). I appreciate your assistance, and tank you for the download link.

You seem to have more knowledge of image editing than others, I would be glad to have you on board.
