Can someone help me?
im trying to create a new adoptable pet but im having trouble making the image background transparent.
i know that you have to "copy the image location" and change the format to "png" but for some reason it wont work
the background stays white....
any idea why this is happening?
thank you

If you're trying to make something on the oekaki transperant you do like this:
This is an example I typed up for Kaige, the art belongs to them^^.

First, make sure that you do not draw anything on the white layer that's at the bottom of your oekaki, you have to hide it. The checkered background has to be showing.

Okay, so here is the URL for your drawing, just the way it looks when I copy your image location:

Code: Select all

http://www.chickensmoothie.com/oekaki/image/image.php?id=577254&size=large&format=auto&rev=1

You see the part that says format=auto close to the end of the URL? If you change auto to png the image will show up with a transperant background. The code now looks like this:

Code: Select all

http://www.chickensmoothie.com/oekaki/image/image.php?id=577254&size=large&format=png&rev=1

If you post this code with img tags around it, it will show up corrrectly with transperant background. (But you have to paste it somewhere else since the background of PMs are white already^^'.

Code: Select all

[img]http://www.chickensmoothie.com/oekaki/image/image.php?id=577254&size=large&format=png&rev=1[/img]

Um, I hope that this explains it, if not you can always try asking me again^^'.

This only works for images you are pasting on the forum, on it's original submission in the oekaki it'll still have a white background.

If you're not using the oekaki, but an art program on your computer it's the same untill you have your image finished with the checkered background showing. Then you click save and save it as a .png file. Upload the image to for example www.tinypic.com and use the image code it'll give you.
