>>1441599no way! taking an image off danbooru with a white background, rendering it and slapping a color/gradient on the bg isnt hard. at least, it got easier when Envy mentioned some methods in the IMT.
http://www.melissaevans.com/tutorials/how-to-use-photoshops-pen-tooli'm going to read into the pen tool finally, i think. i cant find the post about it, either Envy or idiot talked about duplicating the layer, either desaturating it or adjusting brightness/contrast to make the path selection easier - and you get closer to the outline/edges. also learned what a layer mask was, and why feather is not what you want to use. after you get it all selected well enough, using the polygonal lasso or just eraser tool works to pick up any left overs.
