RECOLOR REQUEST

Here's a few versions.

Depends on what I want to recolour. In the case of sprites I use iDraw3 - it's easy to select just one colour and recolour it with another.

With faces I use Paint Shop Pro 8. I make a layer and set it to 'colour' or 'multiple'. I colour it, then erase the parts that are not needed on that layer - that is the face/skin areas, the background and the red lines, in this case.

I could make a video tutorial of either if you want.

I'll try to get one up in the next few days then~

iDraw is great for anything 256 colours because it selects every instance of the colour you're picking, instead of just the closest block. It also can pick more than one colour at a time and has an animation option for those who like to see their work in action. I'm surprised that more people don't use it. ^.^;

But yeah, layers for recolouring the more painted/colour-heavy stuff, like faces and portraits. Hell, even recolouring/messing with default chips can be fun with using layers. Pop one chip on one layer, another beneath it and scroll through the blending options to see what you can create. For example:

It's because it counts facesets to be eight different pictures, so the picture should be big enough to accommodate eight even if there are only two. Try this:
