Transparent Tiles/ Sprites

[forcebreaker 0]

Does anybody know if theres a way in gimp or another image editing program to, like say, make a image of a crystal so you can place a sprite inside. Sort of like in the image i attached.

 

Ive been messing around with gimp, trying to figgure out an easy way to do it (if there is one).

 

Anyway, thanks. Hope thats not too confuseing.

Here you go.

Top left is the original, top right is the ice filled in. Bottom right is the ice lightened and the darker blue made semi transparent, and the bottom left is the original sprite without the ice then with my ice chunk put over top, so that's what your sprites would look like. As you can see it's not quite perfect, but that's because I think they actually recolored their skin etc to be frozen colors to give it a better look. But you can use my method to gain almost the same effect. No credit necessary.

Cheers!

THAT IS PERFECT!....but, how did you do that. You couldent have just pasted it over the sprite cuz then it would have just coverd it, eraseing the sprite. What program did you use, Photo Shop?

Yes I did put it right over top. Bring it into GIMP and take a look, the dark blue is semi transparent. I used GIMP.
