Finally got around to drawing an avatar of myself. I don't know how to make the background transparent, though. Who can tell me how it's done?

Hey that looks pretty good!

You can make the background a solid colour (I usually make it hot pink or something), then load up Gifworks (there is a free online version) and select Edit->Transparify, then click on any part of the background and then any solid pink area will be transparent.

I don't know how to do this with any standalone program like Photoshop or Irfanview though, sorry..

Thank you, I'll use Gifworks!

EDIT: Done

You can also just leave the BG transparent and save it as a PNG out of Photoshop... that way you can have 256 levels of alpha instead of just one.

Warner Bros have been notified. Expect the cease and desist in your mailbox any minute now.

... which is a property of Warner. (since the late 1950's I believe.)

Oh my god! PaCrappa is right, there is an uncanny resemblance!

I guess I should get cosmetic surgery! ;D

Wait, could it be? My long lost twin brother?

Do you honestly suppose that I, a 33 year old American fella doesn't know who made that cartoon?
