Mod Pay February 1 - February 15  
Hi mods, please comment below with what you've done during the February 1 to February 15 period for your mod pay! Please list permanent posts first, then games. Please let me know if you've covered or are covering for anyone~. If you helped with extra stuff (like anything with the release!), do include a note about that too. :3

Deckmakers, if you have free time, please claim some more decks! Not a lot of decks have been claimed this month! We do have less donations this month compared to previous months, so we're not in bad shape, but do start sending decks in. It would also help if you could let me know whether or not you'll be free to make decks in the following two weeks. I know that Laxis currently is on hiatus. What about everyone else?

I hope everyone's enjoying their February~! Next mod pay will be here in a flash since it'll be on the 28th. |D

Glad to help out ^__^

I use GIMP but I'm pretty sure there's a corresponding function for all of these in Photoshop/Paintshop. For silhouette I find a basic picture with just a solid (usually white) background. Then I do a "color to alpha" which makes all the background color into empty space(and fades some of the character's color too). After that I use a "alpha select" option which selects everything but empty space then I use the paint bucket to fill in the selected area on a new layer. This will usually leave me with a black and white picture of the person. Then I go in with a paint brush with the select still on and make sure all the outer lines are solid. Then I select all and fill in all the other spots that the paint bucket didn't color all the way. Overall I think it take me anywhere from 5-15 mins to do it depending on how clean the original picture is (and how much my laptop wants to lag on me). Hope this helps.

Ooooh, very interesting! I'm not sure what the corresponding "color to alpha" function would be on Photoshop, but I bet there's something that does something similar. At least I hope so. I'll have to try this out. :D Thanks for telling me how! I already picked a nice image with a white background to try this with, hehe.
